Step back in time to this never-lived-in mountain cabin offering 1,216 square feet of masterfully crafted living space on 1.38 acres. Ready for you to finish, with lots of materials and extras included. The cabin overlooks Forbes Park common land which will never be developed, and thus preserve your view of the original settlement. Built by an experienced craftsman, this durable home features an open-concept main floor with a master suite and 3/4 bath, plus an upper loft with an additional bedroom and full bath. The exterior features a 3/4 wrap-around deck perfect for taking in mountain and meadow views and watching passing wildlife and the occasional train. Below, a massive 768-square-foot, two-car garage sits on an epoxy-sealed concrete slab with reinforced cinderblock walls, featuring both a standard garage door and a taller door for RV parking. This is the perfect blank canvas for your custom finishes! The exterior and structural work are complete, leaving the interior walls, flooring, heating system, kitchen appliances, countertops, and cabinetry ready for your personal design. The seller is including two premium hickory vanities and an abundance of building materials-such as extra logs and concrete bricks-to help complete the project. Intended for off-grid self-sufficiency, the cabin features a 170-foot private well, an independent septic system, and two solar panels. Bordering scenic common land, this unique property reminiscent of the Old West combines rugged quality with the opportunity to customize your serene mountain getaway. **Adjacent Lot 1669 is also available for negotiation with your offer. Proof of funds required prior to showings. Architectural drawings are available upon providing proof of funds. Home is sold As-Is.
