Or, how about a charming seasonal cabin to get off the grid?! Grab your paddleboard and follow the trails down the hill to the waterfront at the end of private Bergen Lake. After a swim, take a hike around the beautiful 10 acres offering picturesque views, sounds of nearby wildlife, and the peacefulness of living in a wooded sanctuary. To wind down the day, grab a pale of water and hop on your four-wheeler for a quick ride to the custom-crafted sauna that is set on an insulated concrete slab and features log construction sourced from the mountains of Laramie, WY. When you realize that you are too tired to hike any further, rest easy in the quaint one-bedroom cabin set up on the hill. You could even homestead at the cabin seasonally while completing the next phase of building within the grand 36 X 42 lodge. This structure is AWE-INSPIRING and boasts 2 X 8 construction with an energy conscious design. Additional features include a spacious lofted area, open concept design, and the structure is stubbed out for sewer, water, gray water, and electric service just a few yards from the building. An outhouse is located at rear of the cleared property, and some electricity within the cabin, but no water or sewer connection. There is a 300' drilled well and holding tank for septic, but both awaiting connection. This property could be the perfect intersection of new construction and lake living, without the costly clearing, concrete, and material issues! Not to mention, the lodge and surrounding improvements were designed with forever in mind by a geotechnical engineer! Schedule a private showing today and take the next step towards the coveted lake life! Due to current status of utilities, 20% down likely required. Call for additional information regarding financing.
