Situated deep in the unspoiled nature of St. Lawrence County, the spectacular cabin is a desirable home base for hikers, hunters, and other nature lovers. With 42 private, wooded acres, the cabin has been newly remodeled and features fresh pine throughout its 700 square feet of living space. The cabin offers an authentic rustic experience combined with the practical simplicity of a retreat in nature where one can live in low maintenance and get away from the stresses of modern life, yet have easy access to the great outdoors and all the activities that can be enjoyed there.
Wood clapboard siding, stonework, and large picture windows give the cabin a charming and very cozy look. The log walls bathed by the sun are surrounded by a stand of towering pines, spruces, and hemlocks, and to the rear, a lovely screened porch, which is the perfect spot to capture the forest’s peaceful sounds or the ever so delightful sight of animal visitors, looking over the back acreage. The home has been situationally placed in the middle of the surrounding woods. Around the property, there’s a network of interior trails from which one can easily choose to walk or ride an ATV.
The land is mostly flat with a mix of hardwoods giving it the feeling of a park, while the presence of a woodland pond and a small creek offer water based features that complement the overall peaceful environment of the cabin.
Upon entering, one can enjoy the cabin’s refreshing and natural look and feel. The open concept is finished with wooden pine slab flooring, pine boards on the ceiling, and walls paneled with wood that together create an inviting and cheery atmosphere. A beautiful old fashioned wood heating stove forms the heart of the living area and will keep you warm even during the coldest winter nights. The living room area has been laid out in such a way that it will provide you with the utmost comfort and pragmatic simplicity which is very suitable to unwind your body and mind or be used as a common ground where friends can be entertained and will happily share with you the stories of their daily adventures.
The kitchen has all the essential appliances that facilitate preparation of different types of meals. For instance, a nice stove with burners and an oven can be used for cooking food whereas refrigerator can be utilized for food preservation and storage. Besides this, the kitchen is so open that its design has managed to accommodate everything needed while at the same time everything is kept straightforward and easily accessible from the main room of the house. The interior design of the cabin has been done in such a way as to allow the coordination of food preparation and dining to be the most harmonious and pleasurable experience possible with sufficient space for movement yet at the same time maintaining an intimate, warm, and cozy cabin atmosphere.
The cabin’s sleeping quarters feature a good number of arrangements to accommodate a variety of needs in a very comfortable way. For example, if there are a few people to sleep, one of them can take the bunk room which is practically a separate room and, hence, can be utilized as a bedroom. Also, the main room can be used for additional sleeping arrangements.
The design and layout of the cabin have been such that the creation of a dormitory has been given priority. It is to be noted that nothing disturbs the sleep, since the woodlands adjacent to the cabin are very quiet and conducive to deep and refreshing sleep after an exciting and energy demanding day lasting several hours.
The shower and toilet are satisfactory and well fitted with the necessary accompaniments in a simple way only; at the same time, the cabin’s overall approach to keeping it in good condition requires very little effort and in this case, the prerequisites are power and high speed internet, which are already available, along with water brought in and an outhouse, so that the owners may focus on enjoying the cabin rather than maintaining it. The cabin is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, even though it can be connected to the modern world of technology and communication if desired, yet the sounds and sights of the wilderness have the power to attract one every time without fail.
Most of the benefits from this cabin are the surrounding features of this residential or inhabited area. One of the things that make the screened porch a special and more attractive place is that the kind of coffee one enjoys there in the morning, the relaxing time in the evening, and the following day are all quite different, as the porch offers beautiful views of the entire 40 acres in the distance.
The extensive trail system at the back of the house is used for hiking, ATV riding, or just a leisurely walk in the woods for gathering of firewood or watching animals. It should be noted that the cabin is adjacent to an extremely extensive public land area, and therein lies one of the best attributes of the place, i.e., the line of boundary in this case which is shared only by an owner of the cabin limits the adventure possibilities to a very certain extent. The other possibilities such as hunting, snowmobiling, or mere forest exploration in the nearby state forests are fully open and accessible literally alongside the property already.
This is an amazing location in Russell, and if the cabin could speak, it would say that it is one of the most beautiful natural areas in New York. The untouched forest around gives the property the feeling of complete seclusion; at the same time, it is not very far from some local facilities a family restaurant is only minutes away, convenience stores are a short drive, and larger towns are within easy reach. The Adirondacks, Canadian border, and Lake Placid are all within reasonable distance, making the cabin an ideal hub for year round exploration. Spring brings fresh green growth, summer offers warm days perfect for trail riding, fall paints the woods in brilliant color, and winter transforms the landscape into a snowmobiler’s paradise the cabin’s warm interior a perfect contrast to the crisp air outside.
