Property Description

Watch the sunset from your front door and enjoy breathtaking night skies filled with stars. This 18.76-acre off-grid retreat offers unmatched privacy and a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from it all. It is perfect for hunters, homesteaders, or anyone seeking true seclusion.The nearly new 2023 cabin features an inviting open layout with a versatile loft that can serve as a third bedroom, office, or additional sleeping space. A metal roof, just two years old, provides durability and low-maintenance living. The cabin can also be sold fully furnished, as most major furniture pieces are included.A detached summer kitchen helps keep the cabin cool during warmer months, while an Amish wood-burning water heater provides a continuous supply of hot water without electricity. The property also includes a root cellar, ideal for natural food storage and long-term preparedness.A riding lawn mower and a collection of gardening tools are included, giving the new owner a ready-to-use setup for maintaining the property. The land features a large 50' x 50' garden space with a 7-foot-tall fence to protect crops from wildlife.A beginner orchard with approximately 20 trees, including varieties of apples, peaches, plums, and pears, is thoughtfully laid out. Many trees are already producing, with several yielding abundant fruit. Twelve hazelnut bushes are tucked against the hillside, with more than half producing well. Three well-established black walnut trees, native to the property and now approximately five to six years old, are beginning to produce and provide sought-after walnuts and husks for food and natural wood stains. The land also includes three new chestnut trees, along with a lush variety of native plants such as blackberries, strawberries, shagbark hickories, oaks, and many more that display beautiful seasonal colors of purple, blue, orange, red, and vibrant green.The property also offers approximately half a mile of interconnected walking and biking trails that are easily maintained with the riding mower. The trail system ranges from flat and straight paths to curvy and steep sections, providing peaceful morning or evening walks as well as smooth or technical rides suited for all experience levels.The full solar system is strategically designed so the well pump and other essential electrical components can operate independently, ensuring reliable energy distribution and enhancing off-grid efficiency. With no electric or water bill and two backup gas generators included, the property provides dependable, long-term energy security. A private well, well house, and 500-gallon water tank supply clean water with no monthly cost.For those who may prefer traditional utilities or feel cautious about fully off-grid living, electrical service can be run to the home and configured as desired. The cabin is easily heated by a wood stove and remains comfortable during the summer months. A mini-split heating and cooling system could also be installed if electrical service is added or if the solar system is expanded. Running electrical service to the cabin would cost approximately $8,000 to $15,000, depending on whether it is installed above or below ground, with an additional $3,000 to $5,000 to install a breaker box and desired fixtures.The seller has chosen not to install traditional electrical service at this time, as the property may be most appealing in its current fully off-grid, self-sustaining condition.This is a rare opportunity to own a fully equipped, self-sustaining property where peace, productivity, and natural beauty come together.IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER AND BUYER AGENT TO VERIFY ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN
