Escape to the pines and experience the quintessential Idyllwild lifestyle in this charming split-level mountain retreat. Built in 1965 and filled with rustic character, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers about 1,134 square feet of comfortable, versatile living space on an approximately 7,841-square-foot lot. The inviting living room centers on a classic brick fireplace with a raised hearth, the perfect gathering place on crisp mountain evenings. The open kitchen features a breakfast bar and spacious dining area, creating an effortless setting for casual meals and entertaining. A spiral staircase leads to the lower-level third bedroom, an adaptable space that could also serve as a home office, creative studio, guest room, or cozy bonus room. Step outside and enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings from the balcony or second-floor deck, where you can breathe in fresh mountain air and take in scenic views among the pines. Conveniently located near Idyllwild’s local shops, restaurants, village center, and school, this property offers a wonderful balance of peaceful mountain living and everyday accessibility. An adjacent, fully fenced parcel of approximately one acre is also available for sale. The parcel includes gated access near the lower portion of the property and may be purchased separately or bundled with the home, presenting a rare opportunity to secure additional land alongside your mountain retreat. The sellers are open to selling both parcels together.
Idyllwild Mountain Park, located between Mount San Jacinto State Park and the San Bernardino National Forest, is a mountain and artsy Idyllwild-Pine Cove neighborhood with pine-scented trails and cabin-lined lanes. The town’s character concentrates around North Circle Drive at Village Center Drive, where galleries, coffee counters, and gear shops cluster under tall conifers. Community touchstones include the Idyllwild Arts campus, the Rustic Theatre, and the Idyllwild Brewpub. Architecture leans to A-frames, mid-century cabins, and newer mountain homes with decks and wood siding. Daily life follows trailheads, seasonal festivals, and patio tables with forest views. Granite outcrops and high-elevation air shape the pace year-round.
