Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1964 but recently updated, this A-frame cabin is in move-in ready, turnkey condition. While the structure is older, the interior features newer flooring, modern lighting, and refreshed paint. The bathroom has been updated with contemporary colors and fixtures, though it retains some vintage elements, fitting the profile of a well-maintained property with a 5-15 year renovation feel.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13068, living area = 1280.
Situated in the highly desirable upper Fern Valley, this property features a rare flat and usable lot, offering easier access and more functional outdoor space than typical sloped mountain parcels.
The cabin is updated and comes mostly furnished, making it an ideal 'plug-and-play' opportunity for a vacation home or an immediate income-producing short-term rental.
Built in 1964, the property may have underlying aging systems or insulation limitations common to older A-frames that could require future capital improvement.
At 1,280 square feet for three bedrooms, the living spaces and sloped-ceiling upstairs rooms may feel restrictive for those prioritizing spaciousness or large-scale entertaining.
Escape to your own private alpine sanctuary with this updated A-frame cabin, delivering the quintessential Idyllwild lifestyle! Nestled on a flat, usable lot surrounded by towering trees, this upper Fern Valley gem is a true must-see. Inside, warm knotty pine detailing pairs with an inviting open living and dining area, anchored by a cozy fireplace. The thoughtful layout features a convenient main-floor bedroom and full bath, plus two spacious bedrooms and a 3/4 bath upstairs. Step out onto the attached deck to entertain, spot local wildlife, or breathe in the crisp mountain air. A beautiful seasonal creek runs nearby, creating a true nature lover's playground. Mostly furnished and turnkey, this retreat is ready for weekend getaways, an income-producing rental, or peaceful full-time living. Enjoy an idyllic escape from the city, located just moments from the heart of Idyllwild!
