Secluded 5-BR Off-Grid Homestead with Soaring Ceilings and Stunning Views
Description: Experience true independent living in this unique, completely off-grid 5-bedroom, 1-bathroom home. Perfect for homesteaders or those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, this property features no utility bills and sits surrounded by breathtaking views of peaceful pasture and private woodland. House is not visible from the road, it sits 800 feet off a quiet gravel road.
The heart of the home boasts an incredible 21-foot peak ceiling accented by exposed timbers, creating a dramatic, open atmosphere. The main living spaces feature durable, easy-to-clean tile floors throughout, leading to a charming loft with a wooden floor that is perfect for an office, studio, or extra storage.
Off-Grid Living Details:This home is fully self-sustaining. Please review the specific utility setups before applying:
Power: Fully solar-powered. On most days, there is sufficient solar power to run small appliances like a toaster oven or an air fryer. Note: There is no traditional stove, oven or clothes dryer installed and not enough power generated to support any of these.
Water & Waste: Private well water and septic system (no monthly water/sewer bills). Garbage pickup is tenant responsibility.
Hot Water: Serviced by a 12-gallon hot water tank. There is a light switch to turn on the hot water because during low light times you will have to ration power as you see fit.
Climate Control: Heated exclusively by a central wood stove. There is no backup heating system for the winter, and there is no air conditioning available.
Foundation: Built on a slab (no basement), but includes a functional root cellar for traditional cold storage.
Outdoor Amenities: The outdoor space is a homesteader's dream, featuring a massive fenced garden area of up to 2 acres, ready for crops or small livestock. A children's playset is also included on the property, making it a wonderful space to enjoy the outdoors.
Pole Barn: Large pole barn on property to be shared with owner. Ample space for all your outdoor toys. Barn includes a basketball half court painted on concrete.
Absolutely no smoking - immediate eviction, loss of current month's rent and entire security deposit as well as smoke cleaning fees.
Firewood and Garbage disposal are tenants' responsibility.
Yard maintenance and landscaping is tenant's responsibility. Access to farmland must be granted to the farmer.
Neighborhood is amazingly quiet and peaceful, disturbing the peace will not be tolerated (incessantly barking dogs, overly loud music, etc.)
