39196 Seminole Drive, Fawnskin, CA 92333

Property Description

There's a side of Big Bear the crowds never find. Cross the dam to the north shore and the pace changes — pines close in, the lake glitters through the trees, and you arrive in Fawnskin, the storybook village locals call the best-kept secret in the mountains. Just across the street from the lake in the Grout Bay area, with stunning mountain and lake views and endless blue sky, sits a beautifully maintained two-story mountain home that's been lovingly upgraded and is truly move-in ready. The home lives larger than its footprint — 3 bedrooms including a main-floor bedroom, 2 full baths, and a bonus room across approximately 1,400 square feet, warmed by a modern gas fireplace and central heating. Recent upgrades tell the story: a new roof, new energy-efficient windows, fresh paint inside and out, a remodeled primary bath with large walk-in shower, and a full kitchen remodel with granite countertops and new refrigerator. The detached two-car garage is finished to a higher standard — insulated, drywalled, and painted, with a new garage door, 20-amp outlets, and pull-down overhead storage. A private well serves the property, with a newer well pump, wellhouse, water heater, and washer/dryer rounding it out. Outside, split-rail fencing and towering pines set a scene straight off a postcard — no HOA, no water bill, and room to roam that few Big Bear properties offer. And then comes the rare part: this is a three-lot offering, conveying together as one. The main house and two-car garage sit on a double lot, while the rear parcel — fronting Cherokee Street with its own separate entrance — is already improved with a three-car garage built on oversized footings and 2x6 framing, engineered with second-story potential. Store the boat, the trailer, the sleds and the summer gear today. Beyond the fence line, the seasons deliver: winter skiing at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain with a Village glowing for the holidays; spring wildflower trails and prime rainbow trout fishing steps from your door; summer boat days, paddleboards, and fireworks over the water; fall forests turning vibrant for Oktoberfest, with national forest trailheads open year-round and Big Bear Village a scenic drive around the shore. A turnkey mountain home today, with room to dream tomorrow — this is the one worth crossing the dam for.vThe adjacent vacant lot at 39190 Seminole Drive is also available, offered separately at $128,000 — buy both offerings and own over 3/4 quarters of an acre.
