Lakefront Homes for Sale in Big Bear CA in price order below.

Big Bear Lake is a premier four-season mountain escape nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest, located just 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Sitting at an elevation of 6,743 feet, this completely man-made alpine lake spans roughly 7 miles long and 1 mile wide, boasting over 22 miles of scenic shoreline. Originally created by a historic rock dam in 1884 to supply water to Southern California’s downstream citrus groves, the area has transformed from its 19th-century Gold Rush roots into a year-round recreation hub. Basking in more than 300 days of sunshine annually, the valley attracts outdoor enthusiasts for world-class skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and vibrant boating, fishing, and hiking during the summer.
