TIMBER FRAME CABIN RETREAT Here is a wonderful opportunity to own an affordable, rustic, off-grid retreat where the possibilities are limited only by one's imagination. This charming one bedroom beautifully crafted timber frame cabin is wired for a generator and equipped with a propane refrigerator & range as well as a pretty green enameled wood cook stove for heat and cooking. There is also a drilled well with both a hand pump and submersible pump which can be run with a generator. The +/-15 acre property is mostly wooded land and features a tranquil stream with a waterfall and some open pasture/meadow land with a selection of wild apple trees. Currently the cabin has an outhouse, but soils testing has been completed confirming a septic site offering the possibility for someone to make this a finished year round home. Located in Wells, Vermont, on a town maintained dead end gravel road, the secluded location offers serenity and privacy yet amenities in the village are just 3 miles away. You will find outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, incredible mountain biking (slate valley trails) cross-country skiing, as well as access to nearby Lake Saint Catherine. Additionally, the property boasts a spacious barn with two stalls and second floor space/storage, making it ideal for a small-scale farming venture or use as a well-equipped workshop. School choice for grades 7 through 12. A special property with many possibilities and a great opportunity
