The Cabin on the Etna Claim. 1 claim, 5 acres. Fully constructed, Well, Septic, & Electricity installed. This “cabin” represents Chip Webster's (Architect and Owner) creativity and desire to build interesting buildings that complement and are informed by the environment. It was inspired by the mining cabins around in this area in varying stages of disrepair. The Cabin is situated exactly 2 miles above sea level and is architecturally impressive. Inside, it's warm and simple, with the Master BR off of the Living/Kitchen Room, a wood burning stove, and a second BR in the Loft. The views are extraordinary. It has one of the 5 wells Chip installed on his entire property, that puts out the most volume of them all. Directly south of this Etna claim lies many acres of US Forest land, so it feels like it is a much larger piece of property. This jewel of a getaway can be had for $995,000.
