This unique property offers a tranquil and versatile retreat, combining rustic charm with a wealth of opportunities. The log cabin, perched overlooking the expansive San Rafael Valley, provides a peaceful haven after a day of outdoor pursuits. Nestled among oak and juniper trees, the property includes practical amenities for equestrian enthusiasts, such as horse turnouts, hay storage, and a round pen. But that's just the beginning. The property also boasts its own mineral extraction opportunities. The property has a grazing lease with a nearby ranch, so your taxes are only $30.00 per year on the vacant acreage. If you are a rockhound this is a home to the Japanese Twins, calcite and many more valuable minerals. This private property is a hidden gem!
