Off-Grid Living at Its Finest! Welcome to this stunning 2022 built, solar powered home. Nestled on the edge of a sprawling 25-acre pond and thoughtfully designed for sustainable living, this property offers the perfect balance of comfort, efficiency, and connection with nature. Step outside and enjoy wood chip walking trails through the forest (pictured — shady, easy paths leading down to the water), a private dock with bench seating and an umbrella-perfect spot for fishing, swimming or relaxing, a stone patio with pergola and lounge seating for outdoor dining and fireside gatherings, and a soothing waterfall that flows into the fish pond. Unwind in the homemade sauna (dry or steam) or relax in the hot tub powered by solar energy — the hot tub is tucked beneath a covered deck area for privacy and year‑round use — and there is also a rustic outdoor wooden shower adjacent to the sauna for rinsing off. This low-load 200W home runs almost exclusively on solar, with a battery system that lasts up to 2 days before recharging. For peace of mind, there's a generator plug-in - though its never been needed, as the home has never lost power. Operating costs are incredibly low: Propane approx. $200/year, Wood approx. $800/year. Inside, you'll find modern features like pot lighting, a bright walk-out basement with large sliding glass doors that open directly to the patio and waterside areas, an open-concept living area with contemporary finishes and abundant natural light, and efficient open spaces. Outside, enjoy wildlife watching year round, skating on the pond in winter, and no lawn to mow, just natural beauty everywhere you look. Located just 24 minutes to Perth or 16 minutes to Sharbot Lake, you'll experience peaceful, off-grid living with convenient access to amenities. Whether you're seeking a year round residence or a private nature retreat, this one-of-a-kind property offers the ultimate in rural living with unmatched sustainability. (id:1945)
