There is a two-bedroom cabin for sale with 5.34 acres of land. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Prince George BC to the property.
But for those willing to live far away from the comforts of a large city (Costco/Whole Foods), then this $160,000 property might be for you.
The property is located at 32392 Thutade Germansen Landing in Mackenzie, British Columbia.
It has been vacant for three years, and it’s in need of some serious TLC. The property comes with two storage sheds and a wooden stove.
There are six 100-pound propane bottles waiting for you, but they are empty. Also included are a log splitter, snow blower, some solar panels, and a forced-air wood furnace.
The property is around an 11.5-hour drive from Vancouver.

Included as a bonus are water rights to “Rose Creek.” It’s perfect for those that want to get away and be one with nature. Or for those that can’t afford property prices in Vancouver.

I spoke to Jova Xu with Jovi Realty, and she said that statistics show that off-grid living is becoming increasingly more common in today’s world. According to a survey conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, approximately 1.7 billion people worldwide live without access to electricity.

A wooden stove?! Wouldn’t it go up in flames? Maybe you mean a wood stove.
Wood stove indeed!
