Completely renovated from the studs out, this cabin sits on 7.83 unrestricted acres in Mill Spring, where creeks border three sides of the property and long-range mountain views stretch beyond a landscape of pasture, hardwoods, and natural beauty. Every surface, finish, and system has been thoughtfully updated, creating a home that feels fresh, comfortable, and ready to enjoy from day one. Outside, the property offers the kind of flexibility that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. A detached garage and additional outbuildings provide space for equipment, hobbies, storage, or animals, while the unrestricted acreage opens the door to countless possibilities. A newly added RV hookup with septic connection allows you to comfortably live on the property while building, host guests, or create an additional basecamp for weekends in the mountains. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, investment opportunity, small farm, or future homesite, the value here extends far beyond the cabin itself. Whether your vision is a mountain getaway, family compound, or custom home overlooking the water and mountains, this property offers the space, freedom, and infrastructure to bring it to life.
Are you looking for a place in the middle of nowhere? Or are you wanting to be off grid? Or are you looking for a private secluded weekend getaway? Then this might be just the property for you! A long Gravel drive leads you over a creek back to a 1 BR 1 BA cabin that sits on 7 acres surrounded by pastures & woods. The only thing out there are the birds & the wildlife! A very nice creek runs along the Northern Border. The Land is mostly rolling pastures! This is an estate sale, so very little is known about the property. It has a well & septic, Gas Heat, A Wood Stove in the Living Room, a Barn, a couple of sheds & storage buildings. Property is being sold As-Is. The property begins at the bridge - the neighbor has agreed to sign a right of way easement. (It's never come up before!! That's how easy going folks are around here!!) A one of a kind property - needs a little TLC - but could be a great getaway or self sustaining farm.
