The property is off the grid. The Solar System includes 4,000 Watt continuous sine wave converter, with solar panels and wind generation. Also included is  a stand-by propane generator and new battery bank.  Total utility bills were about $70 mo. in 2009.

The shop is 32X60 and includes a propane heated 16X32 workshop complete with work benches. An additional 12X32 covered wood/tool storage parking area can provide parking for RV or tractor. 

The deep well provides exceptionally good, non-mineralized water. Water can be pumped into tanks via solar, propane or gasoline generator. Because the holding tanks are higher than home site, water is gravity fed from the tanks to house, shop and garden/orchard. Water pressure is great.

About 4 acres of the homesite has been fenced to keep out wildlife.  Garden/orchard are also fenced.  The  orchard has 22 fruit trees with raspberry, blackberry and grapes. Fenced garden is about 60X80 and it grows excellent crops.  We have a large, custom-built  green house.

We will finance one half of the purchase price for five years, with other terms negotiable. Additional adjacent acreage is available with some pasture land and views of lakes and rivers.
