We all love classic Forest Service cabins, but nice ones are hard to find. Too many have been neglected, dark, and in need of repair. You can stop looking—this one is bright, clean, and has had many important upgrades. PREMIUM MODERN UPGRADES: New plumbing system, including replaced water and sewer lines. Newly installed shower, bathroom sink, and farmhouse-style kitchen sink. New water heater, electric refrigerator, and modern electric lighting. DEPENDABLE OFF-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM: Custom off-grid energy system designed for year-round sustainability and reliability. Powered by 3 solar panels (two 175W, one 200W) configured in a 24V system. Connected to a 3 kW inverter/charger with a battery pack consisting of three 100Ah, 24V batteries in parallel for substantial storage capacity. Includes a 3600W dual-fuel generator configured to charge the batteries during overcast conditions or periods of limited sunlight, ensuring continuous power peace of mind. SUPERIOR INSULATION AND SAFETY: Insulated throughout with high-quality stone wool thermal batt insulation for excellent thermal performance. Material is non-combustible, fire-retardant, water/moisture-resistant, and inorganic (will not promote mold growth), contributing to a healthy, resilient living environment. FOREST SERVIVE CABIN DETAILS: This is a Forest Service leased cabin. Cabins must be purchased with cash, and there are restrictions regarding their use and modification. The official Handbook can be had for the asking. Drive up and see this turnkey mountain haven today!

For sale is a highly sought after charming, and rustic mountain cabin on Forest Service land. Just look at the knotty pine, honey colored walls! The nearby stream flows year round. This cabin features a living room, kitchen, and bath on the first floor and a loft upstairs. Currently, one big loft that is being used as two bedrooms. Cabin has a wood burning stove and a metal roof. The metal roof is perfect for those drizzly, stormy days and the wood burning stove serves as a heat source and adds ambiance to this quaint cabin in the woods. There is indoor plumbing and water to the cabin. A septic tank was installed around 2008. There is a small propane tank included with the house but it needs to be hooked up. No electricity to the house but there are alternate sources of energy that can be used there. House to include all furnishings and appliances. FYI, the kitchen has an icebox. Well, enough about the house. It is located on Forest Service land. As such, cash is required for the purchase of the cabin. The land is leased from the Forest Service. The Forest Service Special Use Handbook is available upon request and is included in the "Supplements" for agents to download. Cabin cannot be used as a year round residence and cannot be rented out but will make a great vacation home for generations to come. (See the Special Use Handbook for this and other requirements).
