Escape to your dream hunting lodge with this stunning off-grid retreat, nestled on over 73 acres of pristine wilderness! Built in 1991, this beautiful camp showcases an open-concept living area, highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and a massive limestone wood-burning fireplace that serves as the heart of the home. The craftsmanship is impeccable, featuring maple hardwood floors, a knotty pine ceiling, cherry wainscoting, and hand-cut white cedar beams, all sourced and milled locally from the property. The main level offers a cozy bedroom and full bath, while an additional loft bedroom overlooks the living space. For added convenience, there’s an attached heated and insulated two-car garage with a loft above, perfect for converting into an extra bedroom or living area. Step outside to a large rear deck with breathtaking views of Merwin Creek, and follow the walkway to the generator shed, which fully powers the cabin. Solar panels are also negotiable to supplement power for an even more sustainable setup. Water is supplied by a drilled well with a natural artesian flow, while a septic system takes care of waste from the indoor plumbing. The property is easily accessible via County-maintained River Road, with a solid trail road and easement over a power line providing seamless entry. Multiple trails wind through the expansive acreage of Maple, Elm, & Poplar, ideal for hunting, hiking, or exploring, and it comes equipped with 3 deer blinds for prime hunting opportunities. Gas appliances and lights are included, with some furnishings negotiable. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind off-grid retreat on over 73 acres, where adventure and tranquility await!
