Currently powered by a generator with batteries and an inverter. It is completely wired downstairs with lights installed. Composting toilet and sink/shower (hot water) that runs off the bulk water storage tank. OFF-GRID living with the amenities of home. 22 acres include a dug pond, field and woods. There is a lower area of woods surrounding the pond, then the clearing and field with planted fir trees, then the upper woodlot. Excellent hunting property!
