Welcome to your off-grid mountain retreat—40 acres of clean water, privacy, and year-round natural abundance. Perched on a sunny mountain-top ridge approximately 6.5 miles up Out Doody Ridge Road, this property is designed for independence, comfort, and a deep connection to the land.
The home was built with solar-passive principles and sturdy 2x6 construction, and it sits surrounded by forested hillsides, sloping terrain, and a generous stretch of usable flat land near the residence. Winter months bring exceptional solar exposure on clear days, with much of the property offering southern exposure. A strong gusher spring and a creek running through the acreage also provide impressive water resources, including potential for hydro-power.
Inside, the home features an open layout with two bedrooms and one bathroom. The central kitchen, dining, and living area is bright and inviting, with access to large decks on both ends of the houseperfect for watching wildlife, soaking in the quiet, or taking in expansive forest and mountain views.
The land itself includes three access points and has been fully surveyed. A 1,000-square-foot shed provides additional storage or workspace. With no abatements and an ideal setup for off-grid living, the property offers both practicality and peace.
Whether you're seeking a secluded homestead, a private getaway, or land with exceptional water resources and self-sufficiency, this mountain-top property delivers the freedom and lifestyle you've been searching for. 4x4 access is recommended. Buyer to verify all information.
