Offered for the first time in years, this timeless 1928 mountain lodge is nestled in the coveted enclave of Crest Estates—a private, storybook neighborhood where listings rarely surface. Tucked among towering pines, this home blends rich historic character with refined modern upgrades. The moment you enter, you're greeted by soaring two-story trestle-beamed ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling rough-hewn granite fireplace that anchors the sun-drenched great room. Nearly every room—save the bathrooms—boasts sweeping panoramic views of Lake Arrowhead, stretching almost to the marina. The main level features a chef’s kitchen with brand-new, never-used appliances (still in protective wrap), custom cabinetry, and a statement powder room. A charming mid-stair window seat offers a moment of retreat with breathtaking views of both lake and forest. Upstairs, the primary suite reigns supreme with its own private balcony and open loft-style landing, creating a secluded sanctuary above it all. Downstairs, find a secondary bedroom and utility room with direct access to updated systems including FAU and a tankless water heater—plus space to add a bathroom. To keep things low maintenance, a new septic system and electrical panel round out the system updates. Outside, a fully renovated detached guest house provides studio-style luxury with its own lake views. While this property does not currently hold lake rights, consider pursuing them via an Arrowhead Woods lot purchase. In the meantime, you'll enjoy a setting so private, serene, and visually commanding it barely seems real. This is not just a home—it’s a legacy opportunity. Properties like this whisper through the market. By the time you hear them, they’re already gone.
