Description

This off-grid cabin is move-in ready. Completely secluded, this seasonal cabin is the perfect getaway plan for artists, hunters, and homesteaders alike. Set on 5.7 acres of lush forest land, you will experience a level of peace and quiet that people talk about, but can rarely find. There’s an outhouse with composting toilet. A mountain spring feeds a gravity fed water system for your kitchen. There’s even an outdoor shower. The oven is powered by propane, and the wood stove easily keeps the cabin...This off-grid cabin is move-in ready. Completely secluded, this seasonal cabin is the perfect getaway plan for artists, hunters, and homesteaders alike. Set on 5.7 acres of lush forest land, you will experience a level of peace and quiet that people talk about, but can rarely find. There’s an outhouse with composting toilet. A mountain spring feeds a gravity fed water system for your kitchen. There’s even an outdoor shower. The oven is powered by propane, and the wood stove easily keeps the cabin warm. This cabin has previously served as an Airbnb, and could continue down that road. Don’t miss this opportunity to own your own little piece of paradise. All contents (except for the rocking chair!) convey with the property. Please do not attempt a drive-by showing, you will not find this cabin with an agent to show you the way.
