In the heart of the scenic woods of Worcester, New York, this gorgeous rustic off-grid cabin is located on 126 acres of private, natural land that really feels like another world. The cabin is a charming, straightforward sanctuary that with its traditional log design sets an authentic mood that instantly tells you that this is the place for quiet and nature-oriented living. The property’s woodland surroundings along with the trails make it very private and beautiful. Such a setting is perfect for hunters, outdoor adventurers, and anyone else who wants to get away totally from the rest of the world on a regular basis.
The outside of the cabin reflects the true character of old-fashioned off-grid homes. The thick logs that make the walls have been left with their natural weathered colors so that the cabin blends well with the forest around it. One small area with a roof pool to the front of the cottage is a perfect place to spend time while resting on the porch and feeling the wind blowing through the trees or observing the animals crossing the clearings.
The cabin itself is really at home in this environment, simple, small, and very much in harmony with the land on which it stands. Only a small portion of the landscape has been developed, thus maintaining that wild and natural aspect of the property that makes it special.
At the core of the large and open living room is the wood stove that is used not only to provide warmth but also as a visual centerpiece. The rustic log walls naturally exposed along with the unpretentious finishes give off this feeling of timelessness, comfort, and that it has been lived in. The overall design is simple and effective, the living, kitchen, and dining areas are interconnected with no wasted space, so the 700 sq ft work quite well and comfortably can hold small groups or individuals who want to retreat. Even on a dull day, natural light from high-positioned windows ensures the home remains well-lit.
The kitchen is small but very functional and well thought out. The work surfaces are ample and the basic cabinets help to keep the space in order. The wood burning stove located nearby is the source of heat and also an additional less direct cooking method. The whole idea was to create a real off-grid living environment, one that is simple, reliable, and at the same time focused on what matters the most when one is surrounded by a forest and far from the town. Cooking and eating here are accompanied by the faint aroma of burning wood and the feeling of having produced one’s own food.
Th sleeping setup is small but maximizes efficiency. The bedroom on the main floor is warm and inviting and the loft can be used for sleeping or any other purposes that require more space as it is underneath the roof slope. The loft although on a different level still maintains a visual contact with the main room below so the cottage’s space is both shared and partitioned for each of the two areas at the same time. Everything is at hand and comfortable which is perfect for a household, two hunters, or anyone who prefers intimacy to complicated separations.
The bathroom is fully equipped and suitably planned. The sanitary ware is modern and water pressure for showering is adequate and together with the septic tank and deep well there is a complete lack of dependence on public utilities. The cabin’s off-grid aspects which include generator electricity, wood heating, and water drawn by gravity only, have been very carefully designed and installed, thus not having to compromise the comfort level while at the same time being surrounded by nature without any inconvenience will allow one to live there comfortably.
In the exterior, the 126 acres reveal a beautiful blend of matured hardwood trees, the evergreens, and some open spaces. The internal paths running through the property gently connect the areas where the food sources are plotted, the natural funnels, and the viewpoints from which the continuous presence of the wildlife can be observed. The land features are wonderful with the flat meadows, ridges, and low areas being superbly arranged. This is obviously the very reason why the diverse fauna that live here use the habitats that they find in these varied landforms to survive and flourish. Not to mention that several of the hunting stands and blinds here are already well established, so the land has a history of being used for hunting as well as being managed and therefore it must be presumed that the hunting aspect will continue.
During the different seasons, the area gets laid out according to nature’s plan and this change keeps the interest up, season after season. In springtime, the understory is all fresh green and turkeys are vocal; the summer season is when there is a lot of shade and the insect ‘music’ going on all the time; the autumnal season sees the woods filled with the colors of leaves changing to the range from brilliant reds to orange and golden and of course the deer are in the midst of their regular movements; winter opens up the landscape to allow longer views and there is this sense of a stillness that is only broken by the sound of the snow being compressed underfoot. One can enjoy all of these natural and gradually changing phenomena by using the cabin’s porches and the surrounding trails.
