Property Description
Escape to your private waterfront paradise on Big Bear Creek. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom two-story home offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and refined living. The crown jewel of this remarkable property is the spectacular water frontage, boasting over 300 feet--more than a football field--of the nicest, clearest stream frontage available anywhere. It is a true sportsperson's dream where you can launch your kayak, canoe, tube, or raft directly from your backyard, watch trout and salmon migrate right from the bank, and even explore the excellent potential to add a personal artesian trout pond. Whether you are tending to the fully fenced garden or sitting by the flowing water listening to the sounds of nature, this property offers a peaceful sanctuary like no other.
