Tucked away in a quiet, wooded setting, this rustic retreat offers 10 partially fenced acres in a remote location with year-round potential. A well-built cabin sits at the heart of the property, featuring separate kitchen, living, and sleeping quarters, a sunroom, and a bathroom ready for your finishing touches. A natural spring provides fresh water that is already piped to the cabin and just waiting to be plumbed into the kitchen. Additional structures include an outhouse with added storage and a generously sized woodshed. Across the road, there is an open meadow with wide open solar potential, with an outline of trees. The property is completely off-grid, with the nearest power source 13 miles away along the freeway corridor. In winter, access is by snowmobile, though some residents work to keep the road plowed for as long as possible and it is possible if you pitch in to plow, you would not need a snowmobile. There is no formal driveway—access is up a grassy hillside via a legal and filed easement that is shared with the neighbors. The road is maintained by a local association funded through a cattle grazing lease, and while it cannot be blocked, it is regularly managed by volunteer hours. Free-range cattle do roam the area, so fencing is recommended if you want to keep them out. With no covenants and only exceptionally minimal county building codes, this is a rare opportunity for someone looking to live close to the land with freedom and privacy. Sellers are motivated and ready to pass this peaceful hideaway on to its next steward.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
