Positioned in one of Big Bear’s most desirable year-round locations near the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, Bear Mountain Golf Course, and Bear Mountain Ski Resort, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath modified A-frame captures the classic character buyers are looking for in a mountain property while placing them moments from the energy of the evolving Moonridge corridor with popular dining and entertainment nearby. Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout offers a warm and inviting cabin atmosphere centered around a wood-burning rock fireplace, creating a natural gathering space after a day on the slopes, trails, or golf course. Two of the bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms, offering added comfort and flexibility for guests, full-time living, or vacation rental use, while the third bedroom presents an ideal opportunity to create a bunk room, game room, or flexible recreation space if desired. With its blend of location, charm, and versatility, this property presents an exceptional opportunity as a primary residence, mountain getaway, or income-producing retreat.
