Hiking in the woods? You could be home now!

For some, this might look like a golden opportunity to be closer to nature in the Cleveland National Forest. For others (including myself), it only looks like a little cabin in the middle of the woods.

62 Upper Trabuco, R. Santa Margarita, 92678
Asking price: $289,000
Asking price/ sq ft: $361
Income requirement: $72,250
Size: 2 beds, 1 bath, 800 sq ft (built in 1962)
MLS: S505195 (19 days on Redfin)
2006 property tax: Not listed
HOA dues: Ha ha ha
Type: Single Family Residence
Style: Other (Yes, that's really what it says)
Stories: Split Level
From listing (my emphasis in bold): Nestled in the oak and sycamore trees six miles into the cleveland national forest stands a recreational cabin located next to a seasonal running stream which is stocked with trout. With your nearest neighbor 1/4 mile away this fully self-contained cabin offers peaceful serenity. Waterfalls and miles of hiking and mountain bike trails (which connect to the ortegas)await the naturist as well as the athelete in training. New carpet & flooring, generator & watertank. Turnkey, a must see!
Before I read the part about it being good for the "athlete in training" I totally had it in my head that this would be the kind of place a boxer would traditionally retreat to before a big fight to train in isolation.

Talk about being off the grid. Wow...Guess that's why this property is being marketed as a "recreational cabin" and not a primary residence. Anybody else wondering where you're supposed to park your car? Perhaps by that tree stump.

What i like best about this place is the "seasonal stream that is stocked with trout." I'm guessing that means it only runs when it rains right? Or does water magically appear in the winter time when somebody turns the water on so they can stock it with trout?

Do you think they are clear on the definition of "naturist?"
