3 bed, 1.75 bath cabin-style foothill home on Zanja Creek in Mentone. 2,306 sq ft plus 208 sq ft guest cabin on 19,350 sq ft lot. Built 1936, updated 2003, 2013, 2016. Properties where a natural creek flows through the land rarely come to market in the Mentone foothills, and this property on Zanja Creek offers a setting where the sound of moving water becomes part of the daily atmosphere. Located on Mill Creek Road, the property includes a 2,306 square foot main home, a 208 square foot guest cabin, and a 19,350 square foot lot with the creek running through the front portion of the property. The main residence features three bedrooms and one and three-quarter bathrooms with a kitchen and living area centered around a fireplace. Two front bedrooms and an enclosed patio room were added with permits, expanding the functional living space of the home. The enclosed patio room includes a heating cook stove that creates an additional gathering space and secondary heat source. Recent interior improvements include new flooring installed in 2025 in the kitchen and bedrooms, updated recessed can lighting in the kitchen, and a new stove. An enclosed laundry room located off the primary bedroom adds everyday convenience. Major system upgrades have been completed over time. Central heating and air conditioning were installed in 2003. The septic system was replaced in 2013. Electrical updates were completed to support the permitted additions completed in 2016. In 2025, new roofs were installed on all structures across the property. In addition to the main residence, the property includes a detached guest cabin of approximately 208 square feet with a half bathroom. Additional structures include a detached one-car workshop garage, a two-car carport, a woodshed, a storage shed, and a garden shed with power in each, providing useful workspace and storage options. Outdoor improvements include updated sprinklers and downspouts installed around the main home. The property also features mature fruit trees including orange, persimmon, avocado, tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit. Set in the foothills of Mentone along Mill Creek Road, the property offers a combination of land, flexible structures, and natural surroundings that create a distinctive foothill setting within reach of nearby Redlands and surrounding Inland Empire communities.
