This is a rare opportunity to acquire a lightly used 1966 cabin built on land that is like a park with its forest ecology and gentle topography. The cabin sits far away from the street, about 100 feet, on a large forested lot (.81acres). The land is mostly level or very gently sloping. Inside the cabin, one window is facing Marion Mountain, another faces South Ridge. Outside, Lily Rock is visible through the limbs of an old oak tree.. More than a hundred pines, cedars, oaks and manzanita grow on the land. A grand boulder stands at the front corner of the land. The land is habitat for many species of birds as well as squirrels, chipmunks and deer passing through. A habitat tree stands toward the back of the lot. Hiking trails are not far away, but a fifteen minute walk in forested solitude on your own land starts outside the cabin door. Across the street, step into the National Forest and walk as far as you like. The cabin is an honest structure that feels safe and blends quietly into the landscape. Outdoor walls are solid cedar. Indoor walls are solid knotty pine and used brick. The ceiling downstairs has open beams supporting solid wood planks for the second story floor. The stair railing is redwood. The cabin's steep roof sheds snow quickly. Its design makes the cabin feel larger than it measures.
