About this home

Tucked along the tranquil shores of Big Bear Lake's Metcalf Bay, this rare multi-unit lakefront property is rich in history, nature, and opportunity. Purchased by the family in 1975, it became Harbor Cove Resort, once home to ten charming cabins. Many of the home’s distinctive features were reclaimed from those cabins and thoughtfully incorporated into the current residence, which was completely rebuilt and expanded in 2016. The main home offers a spacious kitchen/dining/family area upstairs with additional play and game areas, 5 bedrooms—including two master suites, one with a stone fireplace—3.5 bathrooms, and an elevator for full accessibility. A detached 1890’s cabin, updated in 2009, adds 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, perfect for guests, personal use, or long-term rental potential. Set on more than half an acre of prime lakefront land, the property features a unique channel trench dug with neighboring owners to allow boat access even during low-water years. Surrounded by soaring pines and panoramic lake views, the grounds include a whimsical wheelchair-accessible miniature golf course, wandering creek, and expansive decks and pavilion to enjoy eagle and heron sightings. As a plus, the adjacent neighbor has been open to sharing dock space. Whether you’re seeking a legacy estate or a versatile mountain retreat, this is a one-of-a-kind offering with unmatched land and water access in Metcalf Bay. Seller is motivated and open to all offers.
