Steeped in rich Lake Arrowhead history, the Gatekeeper’s House stands as one of Orchard Bay’s most iconic and cherished residences. Lovingly owned and meticulously preserved by the same family for over fifty years, this rare legacy property captures the timeless essence of mountain living at its finest.
Step inside to discover original hardwood flooring, beautifully aged wood-clad walls, and a vaulted beamed ceiling that exudes warmth and character. The inviting living and dining rooms each feature their own wood-burning fireplaces—perfect for creating the cozy, nostalgic ambiance of times gone by. The upstairs bathroom showcases a charming clawfoot tub, while many of the home’s original details remain intact, honoring its authentic mountain heritage.
Outdoors, the original built-in stone barbecue and sitting area offer a gathering space reminiscent of mid-century mountain retreats. A seasonal stream meanders gently toward the coveted waters of Orchard Bay, adding to the home’s natural allure. Included is a rare, grandfathered-in oversized single-slip dock, offering both convenience and exclusivity.
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Lake Arrowhead’s storied past—where history, craftsmanship, and setting unite in timeless harmony.
