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 décor, this home is simply unsurpassed. In a highly sought-after deep water, wind protected cove on the lake, you'll enter Twin Pines through 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 with over 200 feet of lake frontage. 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. Functionality was not ignored at Twin Pines with a full Lutron system offering the best in smart home technology for lights, climate, music, shades, security and more. Radiant heat and air conditioning throughout offers cozy, consistent temperatures year round and even services the garage and driveway areas. There's elevator access to all levels, and of course, a security gate with remote accessed intercom and full custom iron fencing to respect your privacy. With Twin Pines only a few hours drive and less than an hour's flight from almost anywhere in Southern California, you won't find a quicker, easier or more convenient access to world class alpine lakefront living anywhere else. Relaxing lakeside, spending a day on the slopes, going on a hike or bike ride in the mountains, or boating on our mile-high blue jewel called Big Bear Lake from your luxury Big Bear retreat will always be just moments away. 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!
