It took a collaboration of master craftsmen, designers, and curators, and almost a decade of construction with unsurpassed attention to detail and focused intention in every feature and appointment to create this inspiring Big Bear Lakefront masterpiece affectionately known as Twin Pines. The pinnacle of lakefront living in Big Bear, and perhaps in all of Southern California, Twin Pines blends the finest elements of Craftsman, European, Rustic/Southwest, and Distinctive Contemporary design to invoke a uniquely comfortable yet elegant ambiance. From soaring cathedral ceilings with hand hewn antiqued beams, artist inspired backlit stained glass showpieces, amazing panoramic views from almost every room and balcony, the most intricate details in every aspect of finish work, to the intentional selection of every individual piece of art and decor, this home is simply unsurpassed. In a highly sought-after deep water, wind protected cove on the lake, you'll find a gated entrance leading to a parklike setting where stone paths wander past lush landscaping of Weeping Sequoias and native boulders to the water's edge. Lakeside terraces include two sprawling lawns, a campfire retreat, a custom 2-story playhouse, a flagstone patio with pergola at lake's edge, artisan inspired mosaic seating area, outdoor shower, and a terrace level kitchen and bath. With far too many features to list, you are welcomed to a private showing to share with you the entirety of what Twin Pines has to offer.
