Set along the tranquil shoreline of Big Bear Lake’s sought-after Metcalf Bay, this exceptional lakefront estate offers a rare blend of privacy, history, and refined mountain living. Originally part of the iconic Harbor Cove Resort, the property was acquired by the current family in 1975 and thoughtfully reimagined, with the main residence completely rebuilt and expanded in 2016. Select architectural elements from the original cabins were preserved, adding character and warmth throughout. The main home features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area ideal for entertaining, multiple recreation spaces, five bedrooms including two primary suites—one with a striking stone fireplace—3.5 baths, and elevator access for convenience and accessibility. A beautifully updated detached 1890s cabin offers two additional bedrooms and one bath, perfect for guests or extended stays. Situated on over half an acre of prime lakefront, the property includes a private channel trench providing boat access even during low-water seasons. Beautiful Park-like grounds in the spring and summer showcase towering pines, sweeping lake views, expansive decks, a pavilion, meandering creek, and a charming wheelchair-accessible miniature golf course A truly rare find—ideal as a legacy estate, luxury retreat, or exceptional waterfront investment in one of Big Bear’s most coveted bays.
