Property Description

Step back in time and discover a rare opportunity to own an authentic mountain getaway nestled deep within the San Bernardino National Forest, just east of the peaceful hamlet of Fawnskin. Originally built in the early 1900s and lovingly held by the same family for generations, this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath, single-story Recreation Residence Cabin offers a glimpse into Big Bear's rustic past. Perched at the top of a paved but unmaintained road, the cabin enjoys a serene forest setting surrounded by mature oaks and pines, with a filtered view of Big Bear Lake peeking through the trees. Wildlife sightings are common, and the quiet, remote location provides the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. This cabin is a major fixer-upper and will appeal to buyers with vision, craftsmanship, and a desire to restore a historic mountain retreat. If you're looking for a project and don't want to spend a fortune, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. The cabin is served by a private water system shared among neighboring cabins, a septic system with leach field, a free-standing wood-burning stove for heat, and propane-fueled kitchen range and water heater. As a Recreation Residence located on U.S. Forest Service land, the property is subject to a special use permit and certain Forest Service requirements regarding ownership, maintenance, and use. Offered at just $100,000, this is currently one of the most affordable opportunities to own a mountain cabin in the entire Big Bear area. Bring your tools, your imagination, and your appreciation for mountain history—this hidden forest retreat is ready for its next chapter.
