The Space:

Wake up steps from the water, spend your days on the dock, soak in the outdoor hot tub and enjoy the firepit with panoramic views as the sun sets over the lake. End the night in a game room built for the whole crew. The Black Cormorant is Big Bear lakefront living at its best.



The lake level is the heart of the home — a bar, refrigerator, shuffleboard, ping pong, and multiple play areas open onto an expansive deck with an outdoor hot tub, lounge seating, and a BBQ. Two roll-up garage doors connect this level to the large backyard and grass area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space. During the summer when the dock is in the water, you can park your boat and have your toys out there!



The entry level offers a cozy setting near the fireplace, the owner's suite & a fully equipped kitchen. The primary suite has an amazing private soaking bathtub for that ultimate state of relaxation.



Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a dedicated kids' room — a great fit for multi-family groups.



For your comfort, this home offers flexible climate options across all levels. The upper level is equipped with heating and A/C, while the entry-level floor features a mini-split and also stays naturally cooler thanks to that wonderful lake breeze. The main entry level is not air-conditioned.
