QUAINT CABIN THROUGH THE WOODS…A TRUE GEM! Your new retreat has an authentic, nearly off grid, back to nature presence in Allegany County, Bolivar NY. A glass front wood stove will be your cozy heat source. Take advantage of spring water rights and get connected. There is also a water collection barrel close-by on the property once used by a previous owner. An outhouse with electric is close-by as well (clean). A new composting toilet is conveying with the sale for new owner if you wish to utilize. Foundation is an angle iron/pier system. You will appreciate the dawn to dusk outdoor lighting. You won’t need to bring much for a weekend getaway, it’s all here! Plenty of outdoor space for all! 15-20 minutes to Bolivar, NY and Cuba, NY. Most furnishings stay. Do not let this one “get-a-way”!
