The cabin on the 45 acres of secluded land in Osceola, New York, located deep in the heart of Lewis County’s famous snowmobile country, is the kind of place people dream of when they think of a perfect North Country escape.
This beautiful cabin surrounded by whispering pines, animal trails, and absolute quietness offers the rare combination of real seclusion and real comfort thus making it a perfect four-season retreat for hunters, snowmobilers, ATV riders, or anyone seeking a kind of peace that can only be found miles away from the nearest neighbor.
The cabin greets you like a traditional postcard from the moment the long private driveway leads to the clearing: warm wooden siding, a strong metal roof made to withstand the heaviest lake-effect snows, and a big covered front porch that practically invites you to sit with your coffee and watch deer wander through your own 45-acre backyard.
The land is a sportsman’s dream—rolling hardwood ridges, secret clearings, and thick softwood that is home to deer, bear, and turkey all year round. Yet, you are still just a few minutes away from the famous Lewis County snowmobile trail system and the extensive ATV trails that crisscross the Tug Hill region.
When you come in, the cabin is an instant hit with its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The main floor through its open and cosy design greets you with: a bright eat-in kitchen with lots of cabinet space, a comfortable living room heated by a wood stove, and a full bathroom with modern fixtures. Large windows offer uninterrupted forest views, while the central vacuum system is a considerate feature that most off-grid cabins lack.
Up there, various sleeping areas along with the hunting party or family will find enough space, and also a lot of headroom and natural light. The whole cabin rests on a full poured-concrete basement—an unusual and valuable attribute that contains the utilities, provides tornado-grade shelter, and gives you dry storage for your gear, food, or maybe even a future finishing project.
Here, everything is meant for real four-season use. A reliable well and septic system are already there, power is running smoothly from a generator (most owners install solar later), and the 12’×16’ detached garage is keeping snowmobiles, ATVs, or a side-by-side safe and ready for the next ride. The covered porch runs along the front of the cabin, giving you a front-row seat to every sunrise, storm, and starry night that the Tug Hill can bring. A simple fire pit area just off the porch is great for late-night stories after a day on the trails.
The land is what really makes this cabin different. Forty-five acres of your own woods mean that you have plenty of room to roam, hunt on your own land, make food plots, or just walk for hours without running into another person. The land is easy for walking but has enough different features to hold game, and the location puts you in one of New York’s best big-buck towns. In winter, the groomed snowmobile trails are literally minutes away; in summer and fall, ATV trails and salmon fishing at the nearby Salmon River are just as close. Camden is only 15 miles away for groceries and supplies, while world-class salmon and steelhead fishing in Pulaski is just 24 miles north.
Whether you want a permanent off-grid homestead, a family hunting camp, a snowmobile base camp, or an investment that you can rent to outdoor enthusiasts, this cabin is a level winner. It is ready to move into but still leaves a lot of room to add your own personal touch—solar panels, a bigger garage, or even a guest cabin down the trail.
The lovely cabin and the entire 45-acre parcel are now on the market for $264,900. To view more photos, get trail maps, and book your private tour, go to the official listing with NY Outdoor Realty.
