23717 Scenic Welcome to Whispering Pines Retreat, a secluded mountain sanctuary offering elevated living among the trees. Set on one of the largest and most secluded lots in the area, this home delivers a true sense of escape—quiet, serene, and immersed in nature—just minutes from Lake Gregory and downtown Crestline. The home’s private, elevated setting above the forest floor creates a one-of-a-kind experience, placing you eye-level with towering pines and the surrounding mountain landscape. The bright, open main level features a cozy living room centered around a classic wood-burning stove, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a remodeled bathroom, and a second bedroom. Step onto the private balcony, where morning coffee feels like a forest meditation and evenings offer front-row views of Lake Gregory’s Fourth of July fireworks. The entry level includes a private bedroom with access to the lower level, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, storage, or future expansion. Outdoor living shines here with a spacious deck, private walking trails, and ample room to create a she-shed, meditation space, or personal zen retreat surrounded by mature trees. Parking is intentionally separated for peace, privacy, and quiet, preserving the tranquil atmosphere while remaining conveniently located out front and just across the street. Ideal as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or Airbnb income opportunity, this home offers year-round enjoyment with nearby hiking, lake activities, community events, and seasonal recreation. If you’re seeking privacy, views, and a lifestyle connected to nature—Whispering Pines Retreat delivers mountain living at its finest.
