About This Property
Get away from the noise and craziness of the world with this comfortable forest cottage. Nestled away in the woods, sitting on 8 private acres, and bordering 1600 acres of undeveloped forest land, this place is just the right combination of rugged and modern to sit out the apocalypse in style. It offers city water and electricity from the grid, but there is plenty of room to homestead and collect rain water, and a generator hook up. There are also 3 fruit trees, an apple, plum, and pear tree. They are getting quite large, and should be fruiting soon.
Deer and other wild animals are plentiful here. You could put out some bait in the front yard, and then just wait from the comfort of your own deck, or even from a window, and the deer will just come and check it out. They will even walk right up to the house.
The stove and heater run on propane, and the large propane tank is more than enough to get through a whole year. The house is tight, so heating with propane is very efficient. It's nice and cozy, even during the coldest parts of the winter.
There is also a detached 256 square ft. workshop building with electrical power and a work bench. Photos of the inside of the workshop will be added once it is cleaned out. In the cold of winter, this building could easily be used to age a deer carcass.
The right owner for this place would own a rugged enough 4WD vehicle to get up the driveway. A truck or SUV with 4WD is enough. They would also be able and willing to do their own home maintenance. And most importantly, they must love the peace and quiet of nature, and enjoy solitude. This is the type of person who would thrive here.
