Description

Perched among the trees in sought-after Moonridge, this one-of-a-kind “Tree of Life” retreat is far more than a cabin—it’s an enchanted artistic and writer’s retreat, a living work of art. This 2-bedroom with a loft, 2-bath artisan-crafted home offers a rare blend of architectural beauty, natural surroundings, and unforgettable views of the lake and ski slopes, all just minutes from Bear Mountain. Originally handcrafted over a decade by a master craftsman as a tribute to his wife, every inch of this home tells a story. Custom woodwork, intricate glass details, and curated artistic elements are thoughtfully woven throughout, highlighted by the stunning “Tree of Life” mosaic—an irreplaceable centerpiece that defines the home’s character. The open-concept living space is warm and inviting, designed to bring the outdoors in with expansive windows framing treetop vistas. A custom kitchen features high-end appliances, unique finishes, and a handcrafted island, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas—perfect for entertaining, quiet mountain evenings, or creative inspiration. The main-level “Tree of Life” suite serves as a romantic and artistic sanctuary, ideal for reflection, writing, or peaceful escape. It features a cozy queen bed and one of the home’s most breathtaking focal points. This room showcases extraordinary custom leaded glasswork and three handcrafted cedar closet doors, each weighing approximately 200 pounds and adorned with an intricate mosaic of crushed stone, glass, and tile. Taking over a year to complete, this remarkable installation stands as a true testament to craftsmanship, artistry, and devotion. Step outside to find a private, serene setting complete with a landscaped garden, tranquil waterfall, gazebo, and spa—creating a truly enchanted retreat atmosphere surrounded by nature, perfect for artists, writers, or anyone seeking inspiration and escape. Homes of this caliber and character rarely come to market. When they do, they command attention and often sell well above typical market comparisons due to their irreplaceable design and craftsmanship. There truly is nothing else like it in Big Bear. Whether you’re looking for a personal escape, a luxury short-term rental, or a standout investment, this property offers an opportunity that simply cannot be replicated. Don’t miss your chance to own one of Big Bear’s most iconic and unforgettable homes.
