52600 Idyllmont Rd

For the first time in more than 35 years, a one-of-a-kind cabin on Strawberry Creek is ready for its next chapter. Designed by esteemed local architect Robert Priefer, the cabin's angled lines and thoughtfully placed windows draw the forest and creek into every room. Set on .44 acres, the property offers 2 bedrooms and 3 baths across two structures: a 1,140-square-foot main house built in 1976 and a 742-square-foot guest house built in 1967. A carport at the street opens onto a long gravel driveway winding down to the property, completely hidden from the road, near the Grotto Trail and Idyllwild Arts.Inside, knotty pine walls and vaulted, open-beam ceilings run throughout the main house, where a wall of windows rises to the roofline, filling the living area with light. A freestanding mid-century cone fireplace in glossy orange centers the room, with a small family room to one side and a generous loft above. Built-in wood shelving lines the walls, and sliding glass doors lead to a deck that runs from the entry to the backyard, furnished for lounging and dining with sweeping creek and forest views. The kitchen offers ample counter space, a full electric range, and a sink beneath a window framing the lilac garden and guest house entry. The primary bedroom feels like its own sanctuary, with high ceilings and oversized windows overlooking the treetops. A three-quarter bath sits nearby, with a dedicated laundry area and half bath tucked between the kitchen and hallway.Just outside, the guest house offers a large kitchen area with expansive counter space, a sink, and a refrigerator, ready for a range. Open-beam ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace anchor the bedroom, with a sleeping area beneath oversized, newer double-paned windows overlooking the trees. A three-quarter bath completes this retreat, where guests enjoy their own private space among the woods and creek.Properties like this rarely come along in Idyllwild. Don't miss your chance to make it yours.
