Property Description
Privacy doesn't have to mean sacrificing comfort. Hidden among the pines within the gated Sun East community, Twisted Pines Retreat sits on 44.3 private acres for those who value independence, outdoor recreation, and a true escape from city life. Near over 300,000 acres surrounding the Wenatchee National Forest, this custom-built log cabin offers year-round adventure in every direction. Built from scratch in 2002, the cabin features Canadian spruce log walls, Arkansas yellow pine flooring, tongue-and-groove knotty pine ceilings, and handcrafted log furnishings that create an authentic mountain atmosphere. Unlike many rec properties, this retreat was designed for dependable long-term off-grid living, it includes solar power, backup generators, propane appliances, and water catchment with year-round storage. The protected basement houses the mechanical systems, providing easy access for maintenance while shielding critical infrastructure. A detached guest cabin expands sleeping accommodations, while the detached garage offers excellent storage for ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, trailers, and outdoor gear. The natural landscape provides exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, and established gathering spaces without the upkeep of extensive landscaping. Whether you're looking for a recreational headquarters, hunting retreat, snowmobile basecamp, or peaceful place to disconnect and recharge, Twisted Pines Retreat is a fully established mountain escape ready to enjoy from day one.
