Steps and a pathway lead to the approx. 1,050 sq ft. cabin that offers a light filled 2-level open versatile floor plan with 1 bedroom, loft with potential 2nd bedroom area, kitchen with dining area, plus 1 full bath. Central air and heating. The construction was inspired by traditional vault cabin ceiling design. A large great room enjoys a magnificent stone fireplace and a wall of glass overlooking the valley below. Approx. $90K in tasteful upgrades, including extensive dual-pane windows & protective security shutters. Property has Video/Audio security camera system on premises. The exterior viewing deck allows 360 degree views of the old growth Cedar and Pine trees and a perched birds-eye view of the valley below. Prime locale to the base of a scenic trail head that reaches the San Antonio Falls and the Baldy Notch, and the Ski Hut. When snow falls, the scene transforms into a winter wonderland! Forest service requires a new owner to pay approx. $1,329/year for the forestry lease (usually a 20-year renewable term). Approx. $500/year cost for water. Annual property taxes will be approx. 1% of the sales price in the first year. For insurance, check with an insurance broker and the California Fair Plan. Indoor laundry.
