About this home

This well-maintained 2-3 bedroom, 1-bath home offers comfortable year-round living with exceptional off-grid capabilities and a proven history of low operating costs. The home features a spacious kitchen with solid oak cabinetry, a built-in oak china cabinet, large pantry, fireplace, wood cook stove, and newer propane range. Recent improvements include a new furnace (2025), new backup generator (2026), newer water heater, and newer washer and dryer. Additional amenities include a private well, metal roof, two decks, indoor and outdoor covered firewood storage, and a 3-car attached two-story garage.

The property's off-grid energy system consists of a 2,200-watt solar array with a 24-volt nickel-iron battery bank and 12 KW backup generator. The system is fully programmable from the kitchen and has provided reliable power for full-time residents for the past eleven years. Enjoy no electric bill, no water bill, and historically only one 1,000-gallon propane tank refill per year (tank is owned and included). The land is a homesteader's dream, featuring established food-producing plants including blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, Concord grapes, apple trees, peach tree, sour cherry tree, highbush cranberries, rhubarb, asparagus, and comfrey. The surrounding area also offers abundant wild edibles including morels, chaga, chicken-of-the-woods, honey mushrooms, and shrimp-of-the-woods mushrooms. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the exceptional hunting and recreation opportunities with abundant deer, bear, ruffed grouse, and excellent fishing nearby. Current owners have successfully grown and preserved a large portion of their own heirloom fruits and vegetables while maintaining a productive flock of laying hens.
