Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1941, this cabin is over 80 years old and retains its original kitchen and wood paneling. While the listing notes it has been meticulously maintained with newer carpeting, the interior finishes (ceiling tiles, bathroom, and kitchen) are significantly dated and exceed the 20-year threshold for updates, though it remains functional and move-in ready.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7841, living area = 850.
The sale includes two separate parcels—the cabin lot and an adjacent wooded lot—providing exceptional privacy and potential for future expansion or preservation.
Situated high on a hillside with numerous windows, the property offers expansive, unobstructed views of the surrounding forest while maintaining complete privacy.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 850, other record living area = 519.
At only 850 square feet with a single bedroom, the compact layout may be restrictive for buyers seeking more living space or guest accommodations.
The property is being sold in 'as-is' condition, which, combined with its 1941 construction, may necessitate immediate investments in modernizing systems or structural repairs.
Complete privacy and charm at an amazingly affordable price! This light and bright one bedroom/one bathroom cabin is a rare find. Built in 1941, this approximately 850 sq. ft. cabin has been lovingly and meticulously maintained as a family retreat for decades. When you walk in the front door you can't help but notice the many windows that provide expansive forest views, yet complete privacy, as the cabin is built high onto a hillside. The wide open great room features a fireplace with wood-burning stove surrounded by original wood paneling and newer carpeting throughout. The cute original kitchen includes all the necessary amenities, including a stove, refrigerator, cabinets, and a microwave. The single bedroom offers two closets and has direct access to the 'jack and jill' bathroom. Best of all, the cabin sale includes two separate lots -- the first that holds the cabin and the beautifully wooded vacant lot to the right. The property offers a long private dirt driveway with plenty of parking off of Fernland. This 'must see' retreat is an 'as is' bargain of old Idyllwild charm not to be missed!
