Off-Grid Living at Its Finest with Beautifully Upgraded & Turnkey CabinExperience off-grid living at its very best in this thoughtfully upgraded and impeccably maintained cabin, where comfort, convenience, and craftsmanship come together seamlessly. Every major system has been carefully improved, making this a truly turnkey retreat.The home features a new metal roof and trusses (2016), vinyl windows (2017), and new drywall and pine finishes (2017), creating a warm, inviting interior. Comfort is ensured with a vented gas log heating system (2016), tankless hot water heater (2017), and luxury vinyl flooring (2017).Designed for ease of use, the cabin is wired for 110V and powered by a robust energy system including a Honda EU3000i generator (2022), Magnum pure sine inverter with monitor (2017), and a six 6-volt battery bank (2017). The inverter system is remarkably user-friendly—simply press a button when you arrive and all the lights turn on; press it again when you leave and everything powers down.Additional upgrades include PEX plumbing with a drain-down system (2017), propane range and refrigerator (2017), and propane lighting throughout. The exterior was freshly painted and caulked in 2023, enhancing durability and curb appeal.Outdoor living is equally well considered with a fully fenced and gated front deck, a storage shed in the backyard, and a setting that invites relaxation and enjoyment. The cabin is being conveyed with a golf cart, BBQ, microwave, and most charming “cabiny” furnishings and décor, reflecting the pride of ownership evident throughout.Beautifully decorated, easy to operate, and meticulously cared for, this exceptional off-grid cabin is ready for you to arrive, flip the switch, and start enjoying the lifestyle immediately.
