Mountainside Off Grid Homestead

The cabin is 18'x24' with upper loft, wood heat, wired for mini hydro and generator. Spring fed water with gravity flow and storage tanks. There is a nice 16'x24' shop with work area and 8'x20' metal shipping container for secure storage.
Over the years the owners cleared and terraced about two acres and planted orchards of about 70 different apple, plum trees, blueberry bushes and constructed a cement-block root cellar to store their harvest year round. A hydro-electric system provides power as long as the stream is running well. Sanitary facilities consist of a two-chamber Farallones Design composting toilet with no moving parts and odorless operation. A two bedroom septic is on the property but as of now the kitchen sink is all that is connected to it.
The Sellers spent a decade living this dream of independent oganic lifestyle on this beautiful mountainside; it is now ready for the next owners who can appreciate the unique opportunities and pleasure this forest clearing and homestead has to offer.
