The property offers a mix of topography with hardwood flats, rolling ridges, rock outcrops and valleys with beaver ponds. The forest consists of Maple, Black Cherry, Yellow Birch and other northeastern hardwood and softwood trees including some nice stands of Hemlock. The trees have been thinned throughout the years leaving a healthy forest behind. The property is also bordered by State Land on three sides. The cabin offers a peaceful setting with a huge yard that sits along the edge of the private pond with south facing views. It has an open living/kitchen area that overlooks the pond and has two bedrooms and one bathroom on the first floor and a 3rd bedroom on the second floor. The cabin was built in 2005 and was used for a recreation getaway. This cabin was powered by solar, wind and water. Unfortunately, all of the systems that provided the cabin with off-grid power need repair and are not currently working. Currently, the seller uses a gas generator for power when they need it. If you have been looking for that one-of-a-kind property that offers a sense of privacy and the opportunity to be self-sufficient, this is definitely worth a look.
