Eagles Nest Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a private mountain property with multiple separate living spaces, income potential, and room to create a lifestyle that works for extended family, guests, or tenants. Set on approximately 3 secluded acres just 5 scenic miles from Idyllwild, this unique property combines the privacy of a rural setting with the convenience of being close to the village. The property includes a single-family residence, a detached 1-bedroom apartment above a 2-car garage, and a separate 2-bedroom Garden Cottage with its own fenced yard. The thoughtful separation of the residences provides an uncommon level of privacy and flexibility, making this an appealing opportunity for an owner occupant looking for supplemental rental income, multigenerational living, or an investor seeking multiple income-producing spaces on one property. The main residence features vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, spacious living and dining areas, abundant natural light, and 3 bedrooms, including 2 ensuite bedrooms. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and spacious bath accented by a custom oval window. Covered and screened outdoor living areas provide comfortable spaces to enjoy the surrounding forest and spectacular sunset vistas, while expansive wraparound decking extends the living space outdoors. A substantial approximately 500-square-foot detached workshop adds valuable space for a business, hobbies, storage, or creative projects. Above the detached 2-car garage, the 1-bedroom apartment features vaulted ceilings, a full kitchen, and laundry, providing a comfortable and private space for a long-term tenant, guest, family member, or potential rental income. The detached 2-bedroom Garden Cottage offers another separate living environment, complete with its own fenced yard and peaceful forest views--ideal for tenants, guests, or extended family who value their own private space. With approximately 3 acres to enjoy, trail access, room for horses, multiple structures, and a peaceful forest setting, Eagles Nest Ranch offers flexibility rarely found in a single property. Whether your goal is to generate rental income, accommodate multiple generations, establish a private mountain getaway, or simply enjoy the space and independence of acreage, this property presents an opportunity to create a mountain lifestyle with built-in versatility and income potential.
