BACK ON THE MARKET!!!!
Experience the pinnacle of sustainable mountain luxury. Tucked away on 6 gently sloping, wooded acres, this spectacular 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom custom wood cabin perfectly balances self-sufficiency with upscale architectural design. Surrounded by a vibrant, mature forest canopy, this private retreat is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, featuring direct access to world class trout fishing on the renowned South Toe River.
The property boasts an exceptional, fully independent infrastructure designed for effortless off-grid living. A solar panel array situated discreetly beside and above the garage handles daily power generation, completely backed by a heavy-duty propane generator for seamless redundancy. Drink in the pure, crisp taste of the mountains with a pristine, gravity-fed spring water system that provides natural water pressure without relying on an electric pump, complemented by a fully permitted private septic system.
Architecturally striking, the cabin features dramatic prow front windows, a soaring timber-framed covered deck, beautiful stone accents, and a massive solid-rock foundation profile that anchors the home into the hillside. Inside, the spacious 3-bed, 3.5-bath layout offers ample room for hosting family or operating a high-end vacation rental. Whether you are casting lines into the crystal-clear South Toe River, relaxing on the expansive elevated deck, or enjoying the warmth of the wood-finished interior, 165 Winding Trail offers a rare lifestyle of absolute freedom, privacy, and natural beauty.
