Description

Life by the water offers stunning views of Big Bear Lake and the surrounding National Forest—it truly doesn’t get better than this. Ideal for a serene mountain escape or hosting visitors, the property offers seller financing with 50% down. This rare Recreation Residence in Big Bear Valley was once owned by artist and cartoonist Victor Clyde Forsythe (1885–1962), a close friend of Walt Disney. Built in the 1920s, the cabin still holds original sketches and notes scattered throughout. The spacious family room believed to be Forsythe’s art studio, features a massive skylight and plentiful windows that bring the outdoors in. The front door opens to tall, vaulted ceilings in the large living room with a beautiful native rock fireplace and an open loft bedroom. Additionally, there are two bedrooms and a half bath on the second floor. A separate guest suite just outside the kitchen door adds more sleeping space with its own half bath and hookups for a stackable washer/dryer. Though updated for modern comfort, the cabin retains its rustic charm, with a kitchen boasting new cabinets, countertops, and plumbing, alongside a still-functional antique Wedgewood stove. A covered porch provides the perfect spot to relax and take in the water views right across the highway. A new roof was installed in 2024 and ample parking for 2 cars. The driveway can be plowed in winter, offering year-round access. Situated on the peaceful North Shore, it’s just 15 minutes from the Village and 2 miles from the quaint hamlet of Fawnskin. As part of the USFS Recreation Residence Program, the land is federally owned and subject to certain restrictions, and short-term rentals are not permitted.
