Property Description
Would you like some peace and quite? Do you want to live "up where the wild things" are? Would you like to live at the end of the road, on top of a mountain? But really, would you also like all the comforts of home? This is it: a 1440 sq. ft., two bedroom, one bath home on 20.27 acres on 2 separate lots that is totally "off grid". This "earth sheltered" home was built in 1996 by a master electrician to the highest of standards. Truly a self sustaining homestead with home solar system, full house propane generator system, supplemented with both wood heat and propane heat. Water comes from a developed spring on the property with buried water tank and main line with enough water pressure to feed the house and gardens without a pump. Game cameras show deer, elk, moose, bear and mountain lions move freely thru the forest. Two well built and comfortable deer stands guarantee an enjoyable day of hunting on your own land. The land features, a large greenhouse, large fenced garden area with raised beds, top of the line chicken coop, covered dog run with tile floor, orchard with apple, cherry, plum and raspberries, two wood sheds, one temperature controlled root cellar, generator shed, utility shed, patio/BBQ area, and covered deck. Home features remodeled kitchen with new plank tile floors that look like wood, propane cook stove and propane refrigerator, and a beautiful antique wood cook stove. Bathroom has also been remodeled with new tile in shower, stone floor in shower, new plank tile flooring and new fixtures. Other upgrades to the home include new paint, new Anderson windows, instant hot water, new smoke detectors and Co2 detectors and a home air exchanger system insure safety as well as healthy living. An earth sheltered home means cool in the summer, warm in the winter and very quite and peaceful. If you enjoy the outdoors, working in your garden, harvesting your own food, or just sitting in a rocking chair on your deck, you will enjoy living here. Earth sheltered home means that it was built into a hill. Total reinforced concrete floor, walls, and ceiling and then covered with dirt. Open on the front of the house with lots of natural light. Road is a year-round road as long as you plow your section.
