About this House

Custom designed home by Architect John Minchin, built in 1994 for the Rumery's. The setting of the home for the views and the energy from the towering mountain above, make this a special home. Expansive wrap around decks, windows and sliding glass doors combine the indoor living space to the outdoors. Grand wood features with log railings, thick natural edge slab countertops and hard wood floors unite with 24" travertine, nice carpet and a balance of paint finished walls and wood. The downstairs master bedroom is easily accessed from the front entry or the attached 1 car garage. It has an ensuite full bathroom with copper sink and quartz stone counter tops. 2 closets and an additional storage area provide plenty of space. The upstairs bedroom features electric skylights, auto lit closets and giant bathroom with separate bath, shower and powder room. Recently repainted inside, refinished floors and stained decks among many other maintenance and upgrade items. This house can be configured as a 2 bedroom with an office and a work room/laundry/studio room or a 4 bedroom if the laundry moved. One could see the vision of expanding the laundry room over into the garage for a master suite

    "There are many dog-friendly people in the neighborhood, and there are great trails and hiking areas where leashed dogs are welcome; however not all dogs in idyllwild are socialized, and there are not many enclosed public spaces where dogs can safely play together off-leash."

    "Good luck finding people to rent to you if you have a dog for a town that has a dog for a mayor it doesn’t like dogs. You need them too. Cause there is a bunch of wild life around you might need help to protect from "

    "It’s a very small village of About 1,800 full time residents. It’s a resort mountain town with no skiing. It’s known for rock climbing & hiking. Perched above the low desert of Palm Desert people escape here from the high heat there. No fast food and Mom and pop shops. Dogs as Mayors for the village. It’s like living back when everyone knew your name, kids could ride their bikes, and they were safe. It’s a secret, not many people even know we are up here. So shhh we like it that way! It’s Magical!"
