Discover the tranquil beauty of Moshannon Forest II Subdivision with this inviting cabin retreat. Situated amidst nature's embrace, this cabin offers a rare amenity of electricity, blending modern comfort seamlessly with rustic charm. Originally acquired in October 1999, the current owners meticulously crafted this cabin and accompanying storage building/privy, ensuring a comfortable retreat for up to 8 guests. While initially off-grid, electricity became available 3 years after the purchase of the lot and brought newfound ease to the wilderness experience. Approved for a sand mound septic system upon construction, the recent installation of an incinerator-style indoor toilet in 2020 further enhances the comforts of the cabin. A metal roof was installed just six years ago. Tucked away from the bustle of road noise and traffic, this property offers a sanctuary for both relaxation and outdoor adventure. The large front porch is a great place to relax watching the wildlife. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the exceptional deer hunting opportunities and the stocked Black Moshannon Creek, promising excellent trout fishing experiences. A nearby easement provides convenient access to the stream, ensuring countless hours of exploration and enjoyment. There is also direct access to the renowned Snow Shoe Rails to Trails system from this cabin for ATV's, RTV's, snowmobiles, and street legal motorcycles. The lot lays nicely and offers easy access and great privacy. The only decision left to make is selecting and installing your desired ceiling for the second floor, allowing for personalization tailored to your vision. Don't miss the chance to make this idyllic retreat your own. Explore the captivating images and immersive video tour, then reach out to your preferred agent for personal viewing. With cabins in high demand, opportunities like this are rare.
