LOOKING FOR A SAFE REFUGE! This sustainable property has a lot to offer. It has a newer built 3000 sq. ft. home. This home is currently "on the grid" but is "off the grid" ready. There are beautiful oak cabinets in the kitchen with two pantries for all of your canning/storage needs! One of the pantries is a walk-in. The owners use two very nice and efficient cook/wood stoves to heat their home, one for the upstairs and one for the downstairs. . Along with the open floor plan between the living room, kitchen and eat-in area, the main floor of the house also has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Downstairs has 2-3 more bedrooms, a nice family room/den and three great rooms for storage with wood shelves already installed. This would also make for a great storm shelter area. It also has an over sized 24x26 attached garage. There is a 20x30 building with concrete floor and attached enclosed lean-to for wood storage. There is an older second home that has a total of 8 bedrooms and 2 baths, also with two cook/wood stoves. This home has a lot of square footage, but is in need of some repairs. Besides those 2 homes there is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin also with cook/wood stove. There is a new outhouse along with well that has a hand pump. For self-sustaining farming for both summer and winter there is a Wallipini (underground garden). For more information go to www.the-meal.net/graph/manuel_walipina_benson.pdf and check it out. Also the owners have a 22 ft. diameter Geodesic Dome greenhouse, it comes with all the bells and whistles. The owners have made this greenhouse very productive besides vegetables, flowers, and herbs they also have a lemon and orange tree that is close to bearing fruit. There are 18 fruit trees, grapes, berries, and herbs. The owners have a deer fence surrounding the growing area due to the abundance of deer showing up at night. This should be exciting for the deer hunters. The land itself consist of a deep large pond and one smaller pond. It has 20 acres of timber good for both wood cutting and excellent deer hunting. There are 10 acres of fenced pasture and near 50 acres of farmland presently in alfalfa and grass.
