Lakefronts in Big Bear on larger size lots are hard to come by, especially at a reasonable price. As well, the quaint, classic lakefront cabin that many of us spent summers in as a child is also a rare find. With this new listing located at 39124 Waterview Drive, you can have both!
This vintage 1948 lakefront cabin sits on over a half-acre of land in a desirable Waterview Drive location. The lot is gently sloped and is well treed giving it that mountan feel that so many are looking for in a Big Bear lakefront home. The lake frontage is relatively wind protected and deep water - two of the most important qualities in a lakefront property.
The cabin itself is classic Big Bear. Sitting well off the street, it offers the privacy that many buyers look for. The livingroom has a native stone fireplace and the entire interior is wrapped in traditional knotty pine walls. There is an attached covered porch with lake views through the towering pine trees and plenty of storage space in the attached garage below.
In addition to the main house, there is a detached two car garage at the street. Under this garage is a finished bunk room with it's own bathroom. What a great place for the kids to escape to and for adults to escape from!
Perhaps the most intriguing quality of this property is that there are so many potential directions you can go with it. You can keep the property as-is and use it as it currently stands. You could perhaps add an additional new home closer to the lakeshore and use the existing house as a guest house. Or maybe you might want to pursue splitting the parcel into multiple lots. And there's always the option of removing the current structures and building one's dream lakefront on a spacious lot on a beautiful part of Big Bear Lake.
Considering that a half acre of unimproved land on the lake would likely cost more than the list price of this property, this home is priced well and will provide for someone the lakefront opportunity they've been looking for!
