    A RARE MOUNTAIN ESTATE on 2.41 ACRES!! PRIVACY & COMMANDING RIDGE-LINE VIEWS. Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a substantial 2.41-acre double-lot property where expansive open space, privacy and breathtaking mountain vistas create a truly extraordinary setting. The offering includes a 1.65-acre homesite together with an adjoining 0.76-acre vacant parcel, creating an uncommon sense of scale and seclusion rarely found in Idyllwild. A 1676 sq ft residence blends timeless mountain character with an enviable connection to its spectacular surroundings. The classic lodge-inspired living room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling natural-rock fireplace & framed by an open-beam ceiling and original wood floors, creating a warm and authentic mountain ambiance. The light-filled kitchen features pine cabinetry, a natural wood breakfast bar and a dramatic wall of windows designed to capture the ever-changing ridge-line panoramic views. A generously sized bedroom and full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the home rises into an impressive cathedral-ceiling family room/office, where expansive gable-end windows transform the space into a private viewing gallery for the surrounding mountains. Built-in cabinetry and shelving provide both character and functionality, while a mini-split system offers year-round comfort. The spacious primary suite is equally compelling, featuring open-beam detailing, elevated view windows, skylights and direct access to a private deck. The adjoining primary bath offers a luxurious sunken tub beneath a skylight and a separate walk-in shower. Outside, the property's extraordinary acreage becomes the defining feature. Multiple decks invite outdoor entertaining and quiet contemplation, while the expansive grounds offer exceptional privacy, room to explore and endless possibilities for creating your own mountain retreat. A circular driveway, additional parking, single-car garage, basement storage, washer/dryer area with sink and three storage sheds add considerable practicality. The adjoining 0.76-acre parcel, included in the sale, creates a rare buffer of open space behind the residence and significantly enhances the property's privacy, views and long-term appeal. For the discerning buyer seeking something beyond the ordinary, this is an opportunity to own a substantial mountain property with dramatic ridge-line views, authentic character and the kind of land and privacy that are increasingly difficult to find.
