42280 Moonridge Rd
Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

42280 Moonridge Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile commercial development property in Big Bear Lake with C4 Commercial Recreation zoning, existing site improvements, and a substantial amount of preliminary planning already completed.

The offering consists of approximately 1.5 acres across two parcels and is positioned along Moonridge Road in one of Big Bear Lake’s key recreation and visitor corridors. The rear of the property directly touches the Rathbun Creek Trail, creating a unique connection to the surrounding outdoor recreation environment and giving a future developer the opportunity to incorporate trail access and the natural mountain setting into the overall project concept.

The property currently includes an existing building shell with garage and two seller reported wells, providing infrastructure and improvements that may offer a valuable starting point for redevelopment.

C4 Commercial Recreation zoning is intended for destination oriented recreational facilities serving a regional market, along with uses that support tourism and recreation. The zoning framework includes recreational facilities and supportive visitor uses such as lodging, restaurants, specialty retail and related services. This creates the potential for a buyer to explore a variety of hospitality, recreation, lodging, food and beverage, retail, entertainment and visitor focused concepts, subject to City approval.

The current seller has also invested significant time and planning into a proposed Moonridge Adventure Van Resort. Preliminary plans have been reviewed with the City of Big Bear Lake Planning Department and received preliminary planning approval, with final approvals and permitting still required. The conceptual plan includes approximately 36 sites designed to accommodate Sprinter vans, small RVs, pop up campers and truck campers up to 24 feet. 

The Adventure Van Resort concept includes check in and retail space, showers and restrooms, mineral baths, a central lawn, entertainment stage, water hookups, electrical service and additional guest amenities. 

The preliminary plans identify the project as the Moonridge Adventure Van Resort at 42280 Moonridge Road and include APNs 232829126 and 232829110. 

A buyer may choose to continue pursuing the Adventure Van Resort concept or use the existing planning work as a starting point for an entirely different C4 development. With commercial recreation zoning, existing improvements, two parcels, trail adjacency and preliminary development work already completed, this property offers a combination of flexibility and opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in Big Bear Lake.
