The cabin was built by the Forest Service 50 year ago, as the residence for the snow crews who kept Tyler Foot open in heavy snow that made return to town at the end of the day unsafe or impossible. The County assess the value at $6000. You will decide for yourself what it is worth. It is gambrel style, with an attached lean-to for a garage. There is no septic, but the old guys had a good water source directly from a spring above the cabin, that still cranks out the liquid living substance, very clean and straight from God's garden to your lips. There are a few pipes and man-made cisterns, and the remnants of three generations of pot pirates, but you will portably redo everything anyway. There is organic soil in a collapse green house, and the occasional off-casting of those who homesteaded in a way of life you might wish to emulate. There is more history here than you ever got in school. This is real deal, land not untouched by human design, but repurposed in every generation, to make a world paradise, where your land and how you steward it, is the measure of your worth. This one is $90, 000. When you come to look, bring your checkbook. You will want it.
