This off the grid home , tucked away on a quiet discontinued town road on 15 acres is a perfect place to get set up with independent living. There's plenty of space for gardening and raising livestock. When a storm causes the power to go out, you will still be able to go along as if nothing were wrong. You have power stored from the sun and your back up is a generator. Stay warm and snug with the woodstove and if it's really cold, a propane monitor will add additional heat. Propane powers the refrigerator, stove, lights and hot water heater also. This property is priced to sell and you can make it your own. If self sufficiency is what you are looking for, look no further. You just found it There are still projects that need to be completed on the house. Bring your ideas and skills and make it your own. Please, do not drive back to the property without an appointment with an agent. Thank you
