About This Home
This 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath Victorian Craftsman home has 1508 square feet on a double lot overlooking both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. The tram to the slopes is within walking distance, and the resort is a quarter mile away. The golf course, bike trails, walking path by a stream and the zoo are all part of the immediate neighborhood. Grocery stores are nearby. There is room to build an apartment with a 2-car garage with a sweeping view of the slopes. The house is known as The Magic Castle in Enchanted Evergreen Forest with Airbnb. This house was hand built with redwood and was the original property in lower Moonridge known as the Moonridge Mountain Estates, and it owned many more lots at that time. The house is completely private surrounded with trees, and each bedroom does not share a wall or floor with another bedroom. An attached apartment with its own entrance has an 11 x 16 loft space above for more storage. The home needs some upgrading and improvements but they are cosmetic only. With a little TLC this could be your resort dream home or as a short or long term rental and investment. Enjoy views of Snow Summit from the large Trex deck, fireworks from the front porch, and the Torchlight Parade on New Year’s Eve from upstairs. With its prime location, historical charm, and expansion potential, this is one of the most versatile fixer opportunities in Big Bear.
