Spring-Fed Off-Grid Cabin on Two Timbered Parcels in Aeneas Valley — $115,000

The thing that stops you here is the water setup. There's a spring on the property feeding a cistern, and the cistern runs gravity-flow pressure to the cabin. No pump, no power bill for water, no well to maintain. That's a meaningful piece of infrastructure for a place that's otherwise off the grid, and it's already in place.

The cabin itself is small. 576 square feet, one bedroom, three-quarter bath, built in 2006. It reads as a solid starting point rather than an endpoint. The construction is recent enough that you're not walking into a deferred maintenance situation, but there's no pretending this is a full-time house for most people without some thought about the square footage. It works well as a base camp. Whether it becomes more than that depends on what you want to do with the land around it.

The two parcels together give you a range of terrain. Some of it is level. Some slopes gradually. The steeper sections are timbered. So you get the flat, usable ground alongside tree cover and topography, which matters if you're thinking about privacy, hunting access, or just having something to look at. The property is part of the Lyman Lake Ranches within the Sun Ranches HOA, so there is an association involved. Worth knowing before you get too far into it.

Storage is covered. There's an attached garage and a large equipment shed, which adds meaningful covered space for tools, a side-by-side, firewood, or whatever you're running up here.

Aeneas Valley sits in Okanogan County in north-central Washington. The area draws people who want distance from things, recreational land, and a quieter pace. This property fits that pattern. It's already set up to function off-grid, the water system works without electricity, and you have two parcels with real variety in the landscape.

At $115,000 for all of it, the math is worth sitting with. The infrastructure alone would cost real money to replicate.
