EXCEPTIONAL BIG CREEK FRONTAGE WITH 7.93 ACRES. This well built 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin is being offered for the first time ever.

With all the privacy, charm and location that everyone is looking for in Highlands, retreats of this caliber are highly sought after and seldom come on the market. Priced right at $685,000.
