About This Property
Sited on over 1.5 acres of premier lakefront frontage, The
Waterview Estate on Big Bear Lake, conceived by Framework Design +
Build with exterior architecture by award winning firm The Ranch
Mine, presents one of the most striking examples of bespoke
architecture in the region. Gracing Boulder Bay and Metcalf Bay,
the estate offers more than 10,000 square feet under roof,
including a seven-bedroom residence spanning over 7,000 square
feet. Two wings connect through a dramatic central atrium and
courtyard, where floor to ceiling glass frames a suspended
fireplace and creates an uninterrupted sightline through the
residence to the lake. Sustainably sourced timber, natural stone
and brick tile connect the architecture to its mountain setting.
European white oak envelops the kitchen, featuring Wolf and
Sub-Zero appliances, two Ceppo Rosso marble islands and an Earth
stone wood fired pizza oven detailed in hand painted aged brass.
Dual stairways lead to an entertainment level with a full wet bar,
wine and beverage refrigeration, aged brass island and great room
anchored by a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, one of five
throughout the home, and panoramic lake views. Expansive patios, a
covered pavilion and central courtyard extend the living spaces
outdoors with integrated audio, exterior dining, a gas fire pit and
custom cedar soaking tub. Two primary suites offer private
terraces, fireplaces and spa like baths finished in Grey Beauty
marble and Taj Mahal quartzite with Studio Ore fixtures. Additional
guest suites feature forest, courtyard and lake views, including a
floating lakefront balcony and fieldstone wood burning fireplace. A
cedar sauna with Wi Fi enabled HUUM heater, recreation room and
flexible home office complete the home's wellness and entertainment
spaces. Exceptionally private and gated grounds feature mature
aspens, native cedars and pines, sculptural landscaping, more than
40 hand selected monumental boulders and a native stone gabion
fence. Over 80 landscape lights, zoned irrigation and exterior
speakers enhance the outdoor experience. The property carries a
remarkable history. With roots in Big Bear's mining era, it later
became a celebrated filming location, most notably serving as Dr.
Stephen Falken's iconic lakeside home in the three-time Academy
Award nominated 1983 film Wargames. Today, the storied setting has
been reimagined as a sophisticated contemporary retreat while
preserving its privacy and sense of place. Advanced infrastructure
includes a fully heated driveway, Wi Fi 7 Ubiquiti UniFi network,
smartphone controlled digital energy management, 4K AI powered
surveillance, integrated gate control and more than 12 zones of
multi room audio. Two garages include a climate controlled "toy
garage" designed for a boat, jet skis, an Airstream, recreational
vehicles or automotive collection. The buyer may also select a
preferred dock configuration at purchase. Rich in history and
boldly forward in design, 39224 Waterview Drive brings together
extraordinary scale, privacy, architecture and provenance to stand
as one of Southern California's most significant private lakefront
estates.
