Property Description
Rare opportunity to acquire an estate-sized .89-acre (38,889 sq ft) parcel in the highly desirable Knickerbocker Ridge subdivision — now aggressively priced for immediate interest.
This downslope parcel offers a prime opportunity for builders to design a multi-level luxury home that maximizes views, privacy, and architectural appeal — a key advantage in Big Bear's high-end market.
Investment Highlights:
• $20,000 price reduction – priced to move
• Downslope lot ideal for tiered or walk-out basement design
• Enhanced lake view potential from upper levels (tree mitigation during build)
• Surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes supporting strong resale comps
• Generous lot size allows for creative design, decks, and view corridors
• Utilities nearby (buyer to verify)
Why builders are drawn to this type of lot:
• Elevated positioning = better views = higher resale value
• Multi-story builds often achieve stronger price per sq ft in this area
• Unique architecture stands out from flat-lot competition
• Opportunity to incorporate view-facing decks and premium outdoor living spaces
Prime Location:
• Approx. 3 minutes to Big Bear Lake & The Village
• Approx. 6 minutes to Snow Summit
• Approx. 10 minutes to Bear Mountain
With limited large parcels remaining in Knickerbocker Ridge, this is a compelling entry point for builders, investors, or end users looking to create a high-end custom or spec home in a proven luxury pocket.
Seller is motivated and has priced this property to sell — bring all offers.
