Hi,
I'm still facilitating community at a rustic, off grid home in the Washington Cascade Mountains. Depending on the number of community members, monthly costs could range from $300 to more.
This is an original 1897 Historic home in beautiful, sleepy mountain community, commutable to Everett & Seattle: 50 min & 1 hour 20 min respectively. Breathtaking 45 degree views of surrounding peaks. It has the original shiplap interior with 3 bedrooms. There are 6 lots with a seasonal stream. The community is off the power grid, however telephone service was installed two years ago. The best tasting water you'll ever experience from hand pump well.
It's currently in it's original 1897 condition hence there's no running water. I need to emphasize rustic, this is in it's original 1897 condition hence no running water inside. However, it would not take much to upgrade, I have acquired some of the hardware including a reproduction clawfoot tub, a propane hot water tank & a sink. As far as the toilet goes there is an outhouse nearby. Me being environmentally conscious planned on installing a composting toilet. This is an ideal environment to start off totally green. You can acquire solar panel very affordably now to power a battery for a water pump (which I also have). Most people have gas lights which have the added benefit of heat.
There is sufficient privacy with adequate spacing of neighboring homes.
Recreational opportunities including c.c. skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, fishing, etc.. Included are pictures of area hikes. There is a trail about the equivalent of a block from the cabin which goes up Silver Gulch (this feeds Silver Creek which runs through property), this semi-rough trail leads to an incredible canyon that has a shear wall several thousand feet high and many, many waterfalls. (this is the Mt. in pic behind cabin). Deer Creek Road is 1 mile East, it leads to the Lake Kelcema trailhead (4.5 mi.) & the rough Deer Creek Pass Trail. The lake has tons of blueberries & huckleberries around it in summer. Coal Lake Road is just 4 miles, it leads to it's namesake & the Independence Lake Trail. Next to this road is Perry Creek Road which leads to Perry Creek Falls & Mt. Forgotten - excellent fall color & lots of mushrooms. Mt. Dickerman is 5 miles east, the 4 mile well maintained trail leads to breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Cascades, Glacier Peak & Mt. Baker. My absolute favorite hike starts at the Monte Cristo (former ghost town) trailhead (12 mi E), 1 mile up is Gothic Basin which is a 3.7 mile trail that leads to amazing rock formations, alpine tarns & a lake. To the west is another fave, Cutthroat Lakes which terrace down the mountain at high elevation. Mt.
