Description
Price Improvement — Your Big Bear Escape Awaits Welcome to 991 Colusa Lane, a one-of-a-kind A-frame retreat where timeless mountain architecture meets modern comfort and unforgettable views. Perched above the trees on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Moonridge neighborhood, this fully furnished mountain escape captures sweeping vistas of Big Bear Lake, Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, and the surrounding snow-capped peaks. From glowing sunrises to vibrant sunsets, the ever-changing scenery becomes part of the home itself. Thoughtfully remodeled and updated in 2021, the residence blends warm rustic character with contemporary finishes. Soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, walls of glass, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open-concept living space create an atmosphere that feels both dramatic and inviting. Natural light fills the home throughout the day, framing mountain and lake views from nearly every room. The home features two bedrooms, one beautifully updated bathroom, and a versatile lower-level living area with its own gas fireplace and coffee bar. An additional storage space offers the potential to be reimagined as a sleeping area, game room, or guest retreat. Step outside onto the expansive deck and take in breathtaking 180-degree views stretching from Big Bear Lake to Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. Set on an approximately 10,000-square-foot lot, the property offers the privacy, setting, and scenery that make mountain living so special. Additional improvements include a newer roof, freshly painted exterior, reconfigured and updated kitchen, remodeled bathroom, central heating and air conditioning, an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, and a Tesla charger. Currently operating as an active Airbnb, the home offers flexibility as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, second home, or income-producing mountain retreat. Bear Mountain, the golf course, Big Bear Alpine Zoo, hiking trails, dining, and year-round recreation are all just minutes away. Now offered at a newly improved price, 991 Colusa Lane presents a rare opportunity to own an architectural mountain escape with commanding views, thoughtful upgrades, and an exceptional Moonridge location. Come for the scenery. Stay for the lifestyle!
