Hey who has not at some point in their life wanted their own cabin in the woods? Well here is your chance! This lovely A-Frame style 2 story cabin with large detached garage and gated access is available, the first time it has ever been on the market! Located in the Piute Mountains above the Kern River Valley on the way to the little hamlet of Claraville, this cabin sits in just the perfect spot. Only 10 miles in from the main access road its the perfect Hunting Cabin, summer home or family compound. Surrounded by Pine and Cedar trees and sitting at almost 7,000 feet in elevation, clear skies, cool temps and privacy are all the norm up here in the high country! Inside you will find a lovely floorplan complete with large kitchen and vintage appliances, full bed and bath downstairs and a large loft with half bath upstairs. Not to mention the absolutely beautiful steel and pine spiral staircase. There is a front patio and a back deck and also an unfinished basement that is used for storage. Better yet the large garage is perfect for storage or a work shop. The generator and battery backup provide plenty of power and propane is available as well. Come take a look!
