Property Description

There's a side of Big Bear the crowds never find. Cross the dam to the north shore and the pace changes — pines close in, the lake glitters through the trees, and you arrive in Fawnskin, the storybook village locals call the best-kept secret in the mountains. Just across the street from the lake in the Grout Bay area, with stunning mountain and lake views and endless blue sky, sits a beautifully maintained two-story mountain home that's been lovingly upgraded and is truly move-in ready. The home lives larger than its footprint — 3 bedrooms including a main-floor bedroom, 2 full baths, and a bonus room across approximately 1,400 square feet, warmed by a modern gas fireplace and central heating. Recent upgrades tell the story: a new roof, new energy-efficient windows, fresh paint inside and out, a remodeled primary bath with large walk-in shower, and a full kitchen remodel with granite countertops and new refrigerator. The detached two-car garage is finished to a higher standard — insulated, drywalled, and painted, with a new garage door, 20-amp outlets, and pull-down overhead storage. A private well serves the property, with a newer well pump, wellhouse, water heater, and washer/dryer rounding it out. Outside, split-rail fencing and towering pines set a scene straight off a postcard — no HOA, no water bill, and room to roam that few Big Bear properties offer. And then comes the rare part: this is a three-lot offering, conveying together as one. The main house and two-car garage sit on a double lot, while the rear parcel — fronting Cherokee Street with its own separate entrance — is already improved with a three-car garage built on oversized footings and 2x6 framing, engineered with second-story potential. Store the boat, the trailer, the sleds and the summer gear today. Tomorrow, build above it, or design the custom mountain retreat you've always imagined and keep this home for extended family, guests, or investment. Beyond the fence line, the seasons deliver: winter skiing at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain with a Village glowing for the holidays; spring wildflower trails and prime rainbow trout fishing steps from your door; summer boat days, and fireworks over the water; fall forests turning vibrant for Oktoberfest, with national forest trailheads open year-round and Big Bear Village a scenic drive around the shore. The vacant lot is also available at $128,000 — buy both offerings and own over 3/4 quarters of an acre.
