Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino County, California
Historical Restaurant with assets, Hotel and Multi-Use Property !! Price Reduction!!
Property Description
Step into the romance, intrigue, and architectural grandeur of California’s Golden Age with a rare opportunity to own a legendary mountain enclave. Nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains, Arrowhead Villas was originally envisioned in the 1920s as “Club Arrowhead in the Pines”, a secluded playground for Hollywood’s elite. Originally developed across 45 acres and powered by its own artesian wells and early electric infrastructure, the resort quickly became synonymous with privacy, luxury, and notoriety. At its height in 1929, under the rumored influence of Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, this hidden retreat earned a reputation as a “Little Las Vegas” of the mountains—complete with gambling, speakeasies, moonshine crafted from pristine well water, and whispered tales of secret tunnels and celebrity escapades.
Today, this storied past lives on in a remarkable trio of properties known collectively as “Tudorville.” The Tudor House (currently a restaurant, bar, and playhouse) and Bracken Fern Manor (currently a 10-room hotel) are offered together, while The Clubhouse is available separately – each fully restored and reimagined for modern use while honoring its extraordinary heritage. Located in San Bernardino County, an hour drive up the scenic mountain, these properties are very close to the Lake Arrowhead, Sky Park at Santa's Village, Wildhaven Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary, seasonal water sports, and much more!
The Tudor House & Bracken Fern Manor (Offered Together)
The Tudor House stands as the crown jewel of Arrowhead Villas. Designed in striking half-timbered English Tudor architecture, this landmark structure originally served as an exclusive, members-only casino and speakeasy. Its magnificent Grand Hall—crafted in a rare “King and His Court” design—features soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, a raised professional stage with a greenroom, and extraordinary acoustics so refined that performers often forgo amplification. The hall now thrives as a restaurant, live entertainment venue, and wedding destination, complete with a sound and lighting system, and a bar (with a 41 beer and wine license; see Agent). In addition, there are two adjoining private apartments, each featuring its own bedroom, bath, living area, and kitchen, offering endless possibilities. Located at 800 Arrowhead Villa Road, this 11,011 sf building sits on a 36,958sf lot (APN#332-104-02, zoned CN) and is listed at $1,975,000.
Across the street, Bracken Fern Manor— once known as “The Market” and later “The Crib”—served as the luxurious guest quarters for the resort’s most discreet visitors. The Manor is now an enchanting 10-room historic inn rich with storybook charm. Each guest suite is unique and features an attached private bathroom. The property features a guest kitchen, dining room, library, sauna, cozy fireplace lobby, and expansive outdoor decks on both levels, the Manor is now a sought-after lodging and special event venue for weddings, retreats, reunions, and private gatherings. Featured on television and YouTube (Google "Bracken Fern Manor and ghost adventures"), it remains one of the mountain’s most distinctive and atmospheric destinations. Located at 815 Arrowhead Villa Road, this 3,840 sf building sits on an 8,550sf lot (APN#332-062-34, zoned CN) and is listed at $950,000.
The Tudor House and Bracken Fern Manor represent a rare chance to steward two interwoven pieces of California history—fully restored, income-producing, and poised to celebrate the Tudor House’s centennial anniversary. From rumored underground passageways and Hollywood hideaways to modern film nights and community events, these properties seamlessly blend legacy and vision.

NOTE: SELLER MAY CARRY A NOTE WITH CASH DOWN AND WELL QUALIFIED BUYER
The Clubhouse (Available Separately)
Completing the historic triad is The Clubhouse, the original sports and social epicenter of the resort. In its heyday, the surrounding grounds featured an Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts, ski access, stables, and artisan well water that supported the entire development. Today, this two-story building with basement has been remodeled for versatile commercial or residential use. The renovated upper loft includes a bath, while the main level features two bedrooms, two baths, a living room, and a kitchen.
The finished basement—equipped with two restrooms—has been redesigned to accommodate a brewery, wine tasting room, card room, cigar lounge, or intimate black box theater. A spacious rear patio provides an inviting setting for entertainment and special events, complemented by front parking areas and an additional adjoining lot. Adjacent to Bracken Fern Manor and directly across from the Tudor House, The Clubhouse offers exceptional standalone potential while remaining connected to the legacy of the greater estate. Located at 850 Arrowhead Villa Road, this 3,366 sf building sits on a 28,120sf lot (APN#332-104-01, zoned CN) and is listed at $825,000.
An Enduring Legacy
Arrowhead Villas has always been a place of vision and vitality; after nearly a century of colorful lore, these properties embody architectural significance, cultural intrigue, and commercial opportunity. Whether acquired together as a landmark hospitality and event compound or individually as a dynamic commercial venture, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a fully restored and interconnected piece of American history—where the echoes of the Roaring Twenties still linger in every beam, stone, and mountain breeze. This is a piece of history and ready for a qualified successor to bring back its luster! The property is being sold as-is and has many grandfathered conditions. For the right buyer, the seller will offer generous financing; speak with Agent regarding terms.

Established Franchise Food Prep Business
$ 50,000
This is a meal prep franchise specializing in quick and easy dinners designed with families in mind. This location is in an affluent part of the South Bay Area, California. Families get meals in three different ways. They can order online, selecting from a monthly menu of entrees. The team will prep, portion, and bag the meals, ready for the family to refrigerate or freeze. Alternatively, people can come into the store, and prep the meals themselves onsite, which allows for greater customization. Lastly, they can order meals to be delivered. Dream Dinners is a great place to gather and prep meals with neighborhood friends. The recipes are wide-ranging, with options that cook in under 30 minutes and no-mess pan meals that go straight in the oven. Each recipe includes easy-to-follow cooking instructions to make things simple. The owners each have full-time jobs and have been running this as a side business since day one. The efforts of both have finally become too much, and they are looking for a buyer who can invest their full time and energy into the business. A growth-minded buyer can take an active approach and build the business: advertise to local families and community groups, promote through social media, offer food prep classes, host creative parties and social events, and even rent out the space to other meal prep businesses to increase revenue. Alternatively, the space would work well for other well-established concepts that do not need to cook, as the facility has no grease traps or hoods. This is an opportunity waiting for a buyer to grow. The seller’s split attention is a buyer’s gain: they’ll get a $200k+ buildout for $50k, without the hassle of construction and permitting. If meal prep is your dream business, this could be the opportunity for you. Call the agent today!

Laguna Beach, California
Five Star Beachside Restaurant Location
$ 100,000
This assets sale restaurant location is your opportunity to own one of the finest 5-star beachside restaurant sites in Orange County. For over 30 years, this restaurant has been serving fine Italian cuisine to locals and tourists alike. Located in beautiful scenic Laguna Beach, it is less than a 5-minute stroll from popular beaches frequented by millions of tourists and locals throughout the year. When the current owner took over in mid-2016, he remodeled the entire kitchen and dining room, with all new furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and brought the space completely up to code. Now we are selling a complete restaurant with all equipment in place. We have a 47-liquor license available for an additional $125,000.00. Although a buyer can acquire a Beer and Wine license for around $2,000.00 and place it at this location if they want too. The seller currently uses this location as an overflow site when his primary restaurant gets busy on the weekends. In addition to the local art scene, this upscale Laguna Beach location has many annual events that draw huge crowds such as the Festival of Arts, Sawdust Festival, and Pageant of the Masters. The owner is starting the journey into retirement, so it is time for him to focus on just one restaurant. This prime location is ready for a new concept under new ownership. Advertise to the local community, open the restaurant during all regular hours, and serve food that’s worth coming back for. Tremendous growth is available for a new owner who is interested in serving breakfast, lunch, Sunday brunches, or aggressively advertising for catering. Many upscale concepts would succeed here, including Mediterranean, fine dining, and many more. This is an asset sale, so the restaurant name, concept, and menu are not included. Prime restaurant sites rarely come to the market. If you’re a restaurateur with experience and successful concept, this may be your next prime location. Questions? Interested?

K-12 Textbook Wholesaler
Call/Email
CF : $ 1,100,000
Accepting indications of interest until January 30, 2026. This is a well-established wholesaler of quality, pre-owned affordable textbooks to K-12 public schools, private schools, school districts, and charter schools everywhere. The fundamentals of the pre-owned textbook business are strong. They're less expensive: a big plus for districts and schools (public and private) impacted by budget cuts. They're required: schools teach an established curriculum for 5-10 years, which means using a consistent set of textbooks over a long period of time. Several states even have laws requiring students have access to two sets of textbooks: one at home and one in-class (or on campus). Schools are repeat business: every year, a new class of kids adds wear, tear, and destruction to last year’s books. Finally, some schools simply prefer the material as presented by older textbooks. Over the last 20+ years, the company has built a robust customer database of 750+ schools and districts and currently owns and operates a warehouse with 110,000+ textbooks in stock. The business sells both wholesale direct and via e-commerce platforms (85%/15% split). The business enjoys outstanding cash flow and profitability in this strongly seasonal business (May through October). For those interested in purchasing real estate, the warehouse is also available to purchase, and was recently appraised at $2.49M. This opportunity that checks all the boxes: outstanding profitability, repeat customers, huge growth potential, is recession resistant, has repeat business, and the opportunity to acquire ideally suited real estate. Next Steps We are currently accepting Indications of Interest (IOIs). To qualify, buyers must provide a Buyer Bio / Capability Sheet and Proof of Funds. Must have the capacity and experience to smoothly and efficiently execute the transaction process; busy season begins mid-May. No absentee investors, please. The ideal buyer will have the experience to build a sales team and implement systems at scale to take the business to the next level. Complete the contact form to speak to the listing broker, execute an NDA, and receive the information package.
