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. Whether you're exploring the outdoors, enjoying quiet mornings on the screened porch, or connecting with the welcoming Pinewood community, this property delivers a truly unique experience.Ideal as a weekend retreat, artist's hideaway, or full-time off-grid lifestyle, this cabin offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern self-sufficiency.Experience it for yourself--view the aerial drone video here:https://vimeo.com/1053973
