Property Description

Extrordinary property overlooking DeSoto Falls in Mentone Treasured for over 80 years by the same family this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property with sweeping views of DeSoto Falls. Located on the crest of the DeSoto Falls basin are Cliff House & Canyon View Cottage. These two charming custom cottages, each thoughtfully nestled into the natural landscape create a true one of a kind property that rarely comes to market. Cliff House boasts a stunning, unobstructed view of DeSoto Falls, with expansive windows and outdoor living space that puts the waterfall and basin on full display, morning to evening. The custom home features a split-plan open living area vaulted with wood walls, ceilings & a unique fireplace. The kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters and custom cabinetry, opening to inviting living and dining areas made for long dinners, easy mornings, and the kind of gatherings that turn into memories. Each home also includes a private primary suite, second bedroom, in-unit laundry, and generous storage. Canyon View Cottage is handicapped accessible, offering easy-access living so guests or family members with mobility needs can be part of every gathering. Privately set in the natural landscape, the cottage has a lovely screened porch, vaulted living area and an accessible kitchen & bath. A wonderful place to unwind and relax. Just a short walk from Cliff House, this cottage is beautifully set up for family enjoyment and privacy. Whether used as a family compound, an income-producing dual rental, or a private escape, this is a rare location and an even rarer chance to own it.
