Property Description
This modern, off-grid, single bedroom, 960 sf cabin was built on a concrete block foundation using lumber produced from pine trees harvested from the property. The full dimension rough lumber used includes: 4” x 10” roof rafters and loft floor joists, 2” x 6” sidewall framing and 1” board & batten siding. Fully insulated, a full-size basement, and steep pitched, painted steel roof, indicates this place was built for warmth, low maintenance and endurance. A Jotul (Norwegian) wood stove is the premier source of heat during the winter months while a Renai propane gas heater serves well the rest of the year. Completely wired for electric, the 8,000-watt generator (in a separate building out back) provides power when there is a demand for extra lights, running water and refrigeration. A newly drilled, 200’ deep well with submersible pump and conventional septic system are the ultimate necessities for both comfort and cleanliness!
The ~100 acres of recreational land included with this cabin has a network of trails which make hunting, hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and riding through these woods easy and enjoyable. Deer are also quite fond of these trails as well as the ~1.5-acre food plot just north of the cabin, as witnessed by numerous paths, scrapes and rubs. The mixed hardwood and pine forest has been managed for timber production for ~30 years. It’s recent thinning has stimulated the growth of new tree seedlings and berry bushes, which attracts more wildlife to the property in addition to providing additional growing space for the remaining trees.
The Town Line Road, east of the intersection with Shibley Road, is abandoned and becomes part of Snowmobile Trail C8B in winter months. From this location you can just hop on your sled and ride in any direction! During the warmer months neighboring roads just around the corner to the north and east are open to ATVs.
The adjacent ~103-acre lot with access via Abbey Road is also for sale by the same owner for $79,900. Combined parcels double your recreational space and provide alternative sites to construct one or more cabins of your own design.
There are numerous destinations and activities in the area for outdoor enthusiasts to discover and enjoy. Just south of Town Line Road is the High Towers State Forest and the Independence River Wild Forest, both available to the public for a number of recreational adventures including; hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing and horse-back riding on the Otter Creek Horse Trails. Other popular options just minutes away include; canoeing, kayaking and fishing along the Black and Beaver River Canoe Routes, downhill skiing at Snow Ridge in Turin and cross-country skiing at BREIA in Boonville to name a few.
This would be a very comfortable and convenient place to own if your focus is outdoor recreation in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains!
