High atop the tranquil slopes of Highlands’ prestigious Big Bear Pen Mountain lies an enchanting retreat at 1135 Big Bear Pen Road. Imagine waking each morning to the gentle whispers of mountain breezes drifting through lush, mature trees, the early sun painting gold across rolling hills and distant peaks.
Recently transformed by a major renovation, this lovingly maintained home gracefully blends rustic elegance with sophisticated comfort. Rich wood accents create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout, while expansive windows frame breathtaking vistas that evolve beautifully with each passing season. The generous living spaces, crowned by soaring ceilings, invite gatherings filled with laughter around the stone fireplace or peaceful afternoons enjoying the serenity from the spacious decks.
Cooking becomes a delight in the thoughtfully designed kitchen, where modern amenities blend seamlessly with classic charm, offering both function and beauty to inspire your culinary creativity. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, highlighted by a luxurious tub and spa-like shower that will rival any exclusive retreat, providing ample space to rest and rejuvenate amid tranquil views.
Rarely found, the property spans two flat lots just shy of an acre, completely fenced in, offering privacy, security, and abundant outdoor space. Outdoor enthusiasts will cherish the surrounding natural beauty, with opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and simply reconnecting with nature just steps from your door. Yet, the convenience and charm of downtown Highlands, celebrated for its vibrant boutiques, fine dining, and cultural events, remain just moments away.
1135 Big Bear Pen Road is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a personal retreat, and a timeless sanctuary awaiting its next chapter with you. Owner/broker listed.
