The Castle Glen neighborhood is one of the most sought after locations in all of Big Bear Lake.

Generally referred to as a subarea of Fox Farm, Castle Glen is known as the area “up on the hill” above Stater Bros.  It also borders Hwy. 18 along the Baker Pond section of Big Bear Lake.

History of Castle Glen

Castle Glen, which consists of a total of 245 parcels, was first developed at the end of 1998 in the hilltop area previously referred to as ‘Rebel Ridge.’  Lot prices in the first phase ranged from $39,900 up to $69,900.  As the second, third, and final phases came in, prices for the top lots in the area were well over $200,000.

Today, the subdivision is approx. 70% built out.  Most of the homes are newer log or mountain style, with sizes ranging from 1,800 sqft. to over 5,000 sqft.  Lot sizes in area range from 10,000 sqft. on up to 40,000 sqft., nearly an acre.

What makes Castle Glen so attractive?

Within walking distance to the lake and shopping, and just a short drive to the ski slopes and Village area, Castle Glen’s central location is obviously one of the major upsides to owning a property in the area. There are plenty of other advantages as well. The subdivision sits perched high up on the hillside, making for some attractive views of the Big Bear Valley.  In fact, some of the best lake, ski slope, and mountain views in Big Bear are found in the Castle Glen area.
