About this home

Extraordinary ''Dennis McGuire'' architectural masterpiece in the desirable Big Cedar Glen neighborhood! One of a kind custom beauty positioned on a rugged hillside of boulders and native plantings. Amazing redwood built home with captivating views of Tahquitz rock and the forest beyond. Exquisitely designed and very private this home is truly a piece of art! Interesting angles with rock formations juxtaposed into the living space while HUGE walls of glass capture the beauty and create a sense of calm while living among nature. 2 bedroom, 2 bath in the main house and separate guest quarters that will be the envy of all your guests that visit. Spread out on 3 separate lots featuring granite boulders, manzanita, pine & cedar, this home is beautifully sited with meandering paths and lovely patio areas to enjoy anytime of the year. A home of this quality and uniqueness are rare in Idyllwild and the replacement cost would likely far exceed the price of this home. Live the life you've always dreamed of and cherish the memories to come in this spectacular home!
