Rustic cabin & shed w/ many valuable improvements on 3.06 acres in beautiful Danby. The seller planned to build their dream home here, but opportunity knocked elsewhere. Over the past 3 years, they installed a 175' long gravel drive, cleared & leveled a building site for the existing cabin & shed, had a professional excavator install a 40’ x 60’ crushed limestone building pad to the east of the cabin for a permanent home that they intended to build, built the 12' x 12' cabin with loft storage w/ attached storage shed with Plexiglass roof, installed a 200 amp electric service panel on the cabin, & drilled a 120' well that produces 20 gallons/minute. Cabin & shed are built on 4" x 4" pressure -reated wood on a bed of drainage gravel. They also dug water diversion swales around the clearing and built a stone bridge to go over it. Septic permit exists for a to-be-built 1 br home.
