Not Your Average Cabin in the Woods! Located in the rugged Iron Peak area northeast of Laytonville, this exceptionally private 35.86-acre property offers something rarely found this far off the beaten path: a two-story home of just over 5,000 square feet, plus a detached workshop/garage. Surrounded by forest, this is a truly remote mountain property with room to spread out and plenty of privacy. The home needs work, but the sheer size and scale of the residence create possibilities well beyond the typical mountain cabin. The property is off-grid with well water and offers the opportunity for a buyer to restore and make this unique retreat their own. There are known County code issues, and buyers are encouraged to investigate permit history, existing improvements, zoning, access, utilities, and all other property characteristics to their own satisfaction. If you're looking for the quiet, privacy, and independence of remote Mendocino mountain living but want considerably more room than the typical cabin in the woods, this one deserves a look.
