Elevated Mountain Living Across from the Village — Custom Built, Light-Filled & Designed for All Seasons. Positioned on a prime corner lot directly across from the Village, this custom-built residence delivers scale, light, and rare walkability in one of Pine Mountain Club’s most coveted settings. Built in 1990 with above-standard construction, the home offers 9-foot ceilings on both levels, expansive double-pane windows, and eight skylights that flood the interiors with natural light. A west-facing orientation captures passive solar warmth in winter, enhancing both comfort and efficiency. The formal living room is anchored by a marble and wood fireplace — refined, architectural, intentional. A Vermont Castings Encore wood stove centers the kitchen and casual dining area, creating warmth at the heart of the home. Crown molding, transom glass panels, dimmer lighting, and custom built-ins add depth and presence throughout. The kitchen is generous and highly functional — ample prep space, extensive storage, walk-in pantry capacity, coffee bar cabinetry, and a brick-accented stove alcove. Beneath the staircase, temperature-controlled wine storage offers a subtle nod to entertaining. The enclosed sunroom is a defining feature — a private, year-round retreat designed for snowfall mornings, wildlife sightings, and long summer evenings with doors open to mountain air. Upstairs, all bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned. The primary suite offers volume and privacy, complete with dual sinks, jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and additional storage access. Secondary bedrooms enjoy western views, walk-through closets, and operable skylights. Laundry is conveniently located on the upper level. Exterior elements include Trex decking, a west-facing rear deck plumbed for gas, composite fire-resistant siding, stone accents, motion lighting, insulated garage walls (2021), oversized water heater, soft water plumbing, basement storage with lighting, and roof replaced in 2020. Ownership in Pine Mountain Club includes access to the Olympic-style pool and spa, golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, equestrian center, clubhouse, hiking trails, year-round snow removal, trash service, and 24/7 patrol. Kern County Fire Station 58 with paramedics and helipad is located within the community. This is not a typical mountain cabin. It is a substantial, enduring residence designed for those who value presence, proximity, and permanence.
