Welcome to a rare opportunity in the gated community of Pinewood, where the lifestyle is just as special as the property itself. This is more than a cabin--it's a way of life. Pinewood is known for its close-knit, self-sufficient community where neighbors look out for one another, share knowledge, and embrace the beauty of off-grid mountain living. Surrounded by towering pines, fresh mountain air, and the peaceful sounds of nature, this is a place where you can truly disconnect and recharge.Built in 2021, this thoughtfully designed 240 sq ft insulated wood cabin offers soaring 14-ft ceilings that create an open, airy feel, complemented by a 120 sq ft screened-in room--perfect for enjoying the outdoors year-round. An additional 140 sq ft powered workshop and a detached bathroom bring the total covered space to approximately 500 sq ft, offering both functionality and flexibility.The property is fully equipped for comfortable off-grid living. Systems include a 1500-watt solar setup, dual propane on-demand water heaters, a wood stove, two wall heaters, a swamp cooler, dual-fuel generator, and three propane lamps. A rainwater catchment system with over 2,100 gallons of storage provides impressive water pressure, supporting daily living with ease.A standout feature is the water-based toilet connected to a functioning septic system (tested and confirmed working as of January 2026)--a rare and valuable upgrade in off-grid properties. The bathroom includes a tub, sink, and toilet, along with a 110-gallon non-traditional septic setup.Inside, the cabin is both cozy and efficient, featuring a Murphy bed to maximize space, WiFi/hotspot capability for connectivity, and thoughtful finishes throughout. The large 280-gallon propane tank (with delivery service available) ensures reliable fuel access, while the workshop comes equipped with tools--ready for your next project or creative pursuit.Set on a spacious and private lot, the property offers stunning natural views and easy access to nearby Fuller Mill Creek and hiking trails.
