About This Home
Tucked along Forrest Brook, this recently restored 3-season off-grid cabin offers the kind of peaceful mountain escape that’s getting harder to find. The 492 square foot sanctuary packs a surprising amount of comfort and charm into it’s thoughtful design. Inside, the open-concept living space is filled with an abundance of natural light, high ceilings and warm wood details throughout. On cooler evenings, enjoy the cozy-wood burning stove framed by a beautiful riverstone hearth. The thoughtfully designed kitchen space and dining area includes a mini fridge and eat-in counter overlooking the brook and wooded landscape. The cabin is equipped with portable solar panels, making off-grid living both comfortable and functional, while the loft-style bedroom adds to the rustic charm and efficient use of space. Outside, enjoy the newer roof, warm wood siding, and a firepit by the brook perfect gathering under the stars. The perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility, this special property captures the true mountain cabin experience, and is in close proximity to shopping, dining and all of the four-season recreation the MWV has to offer. Please note: due to the unique nature of this property, it will not qualify for FHA, VA or USDA financing and will most likely require a cash or portfolio buyer.
