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

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
