A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine one of Huntington Lake's most historic lakefront resorts. Cedar Crest Resort dates to 1878, with its original compound developed in 1922. It offers a historic 1920s lakeside setting, including local lore that it served as a private Hollywood retreat during Prohibition. Located on Huntington Lake's north shore, Cedar Crest is among California's premier lakefront resorts. Its forested setting, lake frontage, historic structures, and commercial infrastructure create an exceptional redevelopment opportunity. The resort operates under a U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Sierra National Forest Commercial Use 133 Permit covering approximately 14.3 acres. The permit authorizes construction, operation, and maintenance of a resort/marina, including food service, retail sales, boat docks, boat rentals, and ancillary facilities. The Sierra National Forest owns the land; the resort owners own the improvements and operating permit rights. Improvements include an approximately 3,000 sq. ft. original lodge with commercial kitchen, seating for approximately 50, small bar, grocery store, and on- and off-site liquor sales license; 14 lakefront/lakeview rental cabins; the original 1922 owner's cabin; chef's cabin; staff bunk cabins; men's and women's shower/restroom building; laundry building; A-frame shop; tool sheds; and support structures. Approximately 11,500 sq. ft. is under roof. The property also includes 18 RV sites and 12 camping rental sites needing redevelopment, plus a marina designation permit for docks and boat rentals. Many original 1922 structures remain ready for restoration, renovation, and new wood decks that preserve the resort's timeless character. Cedar Crest is a distinctive, once-in-a-lifetime, multigenerational opportunity. Its unmatched location, historic charm, infrastructure, and permitted resort/marina use ideally position it for a visionary buyer to restore, revive, and preserve.
