About this home

Welcome to a completely different side of Kern County. Democrat Hot Springs is not just a property, it’s an experience unlike anything else on the market. Offered at an incredible price of $585,000, this one-of-a-kind retreat sits just before Lake Isabella with its own private entrance directly off Highway 178. Behind the gated entry with coded access, you’ll find privacy, security, and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. The property is professionally maintained with a full-time caretaker on site and maintenance services that keep the green areas, pools, and cabins looking their best year-round. This unique opportunity includes two private cabins, each designed for comfort and relaxation. Both cabins feature a kitchen area, dining space, walk-in shower, private restroom, and a spacious primary bedroom with sliding glass doors leading to a private deck. Each cabin offers a loft area with two additional beds, perfect for kids or guests, comfortably accommodating up to four people per cabin. Each cabin also includes AC and heating, making this a perfect getaway during every season. Owners and guests also enjoy access to additional community amenities throughout the property, including shared guest cabins, a main kitchen area with laundry facilities, and an additional bunkhouse-style cabin for extra sleeping space. The experience continues at the hotel area, where you’ll also own a private hotel suite currently scheduled for updates. The hotel amenities include a shared kitchen, living room, dining area, and entertainment space. Step outside and enjoy resort-style amenities throughout the grounds, including a pool area with cabanas and TVs, outdoor BBQ areas with beautiful views, and the famous hot spring pools perfect for relaxing after a long day outdoors, easy access outside community showers and restrooms throughout the property. The property also offers direct river access where the water runs calm and flat, ideal for jet skis, kayaking, and enjoying the canoes already on site. Large camping areas, and plenty of space for outdoor adventures with recreational vehicles make this property truly unlike anything else available in the area. Whether you’re looking for a private family retreat, or a place to escape and enjoy nature in comfort, Democrat Hot Springs delivers a rare opportunity to experience Kern County in a way most people never have. 2 CABINS FOR SALE, NOT THE RESORT, LAND OR HOTEL.
