Pros & Cons

Pros

Self-Sufficient Living: The property is fully off-grid, equipped with solar, propane, water, and septic systems, offering independence and reduced utility costs.
Expansive Private Acreage: Boasting over 17 acres across two parcels, the property provides significant privacy, natural beauty, and ample space for outdoor activities.
Unique Lifestyle & Recreational Potential: Featuring three multi-use cabins with lofts and various 'camp sites,' it's ideal for a nature retreat, creative pursuits, or a unique outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
Scenic Views: The property offers sunny exposures and picturesque views of park/greenbelt, valley, and trees/woods, enhancing its natural appeal.
Gardening & Homesteading Ready: Equipped with multiple water tanks and south-facing terracing, it's well-suited for developing a bountiful garden or small homestead.

Cons

Challenging Accessibility: Located almost 4 miles down a privately maintained gravel road, resulting in a 20-minute commute to main roads, which may deter daily commuters.
Non-Traditional Living Setup: The property consists of '3 multi-use cabins with lofts' rather than a conventional single-family home, potentially limiting appeal to buyers seeking standard residential layouts.
Niche Market Appeal: Its off-grid, remote, and rustic nature caters to a very specific buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer marketing period and smaller pool of interested parties.
