The story
HORSE PROPERTY -- fully fenced, 3/4 acre in Big Bear City. Big round pen up front, a red 700 sq ft barn with two stalls, two more corrals on the sloped rear of the lot and tie-ups -- and a mudroom like no other: huge and vaulted, warm wood everywhere, skylights overhead, room for every saddle you own, and French doors opening to the backyard. The working ground is level where it counts; behind it, the land rises into pines and boulders. Oversized driveway, room for the rig -- and you can ride straight off the property into the forest. The house is a log-sided mountain home with a 1950s soul: knotty pine, vaulted beamed ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a kitchen that keeps its original character -- pine cabinets with glass doors, Formica counters, an original Wedgewood stove. Three bedrooms including a loft, and a multi-level deck that wraps the house. 3 bed, 2 bath, 1,668 sq ft -- $579,000, below its $618,000 appraisal.
