Property Description
A beautifully crafted off-grid log home set on 40 private acres in the Forbes Wagon Creek Subdivision, offering the perfect blend of modern comfort and self-sufficient living. This two-bedroom, one-bath retreat features an open living, dining, and kitchen layout accented by abundant oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and a cozy wood-burning stove. With 12 solar batteries, newer upgraded solar panels, additional insulation between the log construction and all essential conveniences, the home delivers reliable independence without sacrificing comfort. Enjoy stunning valley and mountain views in every direction, along with Trex decking, a partial exterior-entry basement for storage, and tons of cut firewood ready for use. The property also includes a two-car garage with an attached powered shop, power garage doors, a greenhouse, and a separate heated pump house with its own solar. Located at the front of the subdivision, it offers easy access while still feeling secluded. A rare opportunity to own a fully equipped, scenic, off-grid haven.
