We are looking to sell a 2000 sq. ft. home that backs onto a wildlife management area on the Redbird River in eastern Kentucky. The house has free natural gas and sits on a flat area above the valley, 12 acres of field and woods with the closest neighbor about 200 yards away but not in sight of the house. It is secluded with the main road a quarter of a mile away. House overlooks beautiful sweeping valley of the Redbird River. It is a brick house with a high loft that captures the heat in the summer and insulates in the winter. Main electric bill comes from AC in the summer and we have rarely paid over $130 a month in electric bills. Natural gas oven, fridge, and dryer. Twenty miles to nearest town and 10 miles to nearest clinic. Vast wildlife area in background for horseback riding, four-wheeling, hunting deer, elk, turkey.

Jonathan Edwards, Rawles

Nestled in a sunny clearing in the forest of the Oregon Coast Range is a cottage on 12+ acres. About half the land is open with room for a small pasture and large garden with mature fruit trees. The rest of the property is forested with variety of trees, mostly maple and alder which would provide fuel to heat the buildings on a sustainable basis. Wildlife abounds. The 1495 sq. ft. cottage has a kitchen, living and dining open floor plan and a spacious bath, pantry and utility on the main floor. There are two bedrooms on the second floor. A three story second building could be made into a lovely 3,000 sq. ft, home. The ground floor is currently being used as a shop with extra bath. Buildings are heated with wood and the household water is supplied from a spring which runs year around and also supplies a small pond and stream. This property is located in a remote area about 8 miles from the town of Alsea , within one hour drive of Corvallis, home of Oregon State University and one hour from the Oregon Coast. The property is set up to be self sufficient and has at times been operated off the grid, however, surprising for such a remote location, power, telephone, high speed internet and even garbage service is available as is coverage by the Alsea volunteer fire department and emergency medical service. The town of Alsea (65 households) offers a k-12 school, 3 churches, a general store, gas station, restaurant, a health clinic and a full service library. This property will provide a comfortable safe haven now and has the potential to become a show place in the future. It can be viewed in the winter - no leaves on the trees and bushes and no snow.

Cozy cottage on 12+ scenic acres located in the mild climate of the beautiful Oregon coast range. About half of the property is open with space for a small pasture and a large garden with plum, pear, apple, peach and fig trees as well as grapes already in production. This sunny clearing is surrounded by trees for privacy. The rest is forestland that has not been disturbed for many years. The trees are mostly Alder and Maple with some Fir and Cedar. It is capable of providing firewood for the homeowner on a sustained basis and still remain fully forested. There is abundant wildlife including deer and elk on and near the property and a world class Salmon and Steelhead river is just a few miles away.

It is located in a remote, forested area for quiet and privacy. It is 7 ½ miles SW of the village of Alsea on the Alsea-Deadwood Highway and then a mile West on a seldom traveled gravel road. It is one hour drive to Corvallis, home of Oregon State University and listed on this site's blog as the safest city in the USA. One can drive in the other direction for one hour to the town of Waldport on the Oregon Coast. Surprisingly, for as remote as this property is, it is in a volunteer fire department and emergency medical service district and has electric power from the grid, telephone, high speed internet and even garbage service available. The school bus stop is nearby.

The home is 1495 square feet. The main floor is an open floor plan (kitchen, dining and living) with a pantry and a spacious bath. There is a deck and an attached utility room. A spiral staircase leads to 2 upstairs bedrooms. Many windows give multiple views of the property. The whole house is heated by a wood stove. One can choose either electricity or propane for cooking and heating water. There is a diesel generator on the property which has been used to operate the place off the grid. The water is supplied by a spring. An additional 3 story building is approximately 3,000 sq.ft. The ground floor is a spacious shop with cement floor, a bath and possible 3rd bedroom. The owner had planned to convert this building into a house. The second floor was to be the living and kitchen area with a large deck and 3 sliding glass doors to view of the property. The third floor was to be bedrooms. The roof would be a great site for solar panels.

Nearest town about 15 minutes from the property is Alsea. Alsea has about 65 households and serves an extended community of about 1200 people. It has a K-12 school offering small class size, a full service library, a health clinic, a general store, gas station, restaurant, post office, fire station and three churches. It is a place where majority of the people still pride themselves on being self sufficient and neighborly. This is a property of possibilities. The shop building could be made into a very nice house. The spring could possibly be developed to be used for micro-hydro power. This is a great property for someone who wants to live off the land, a safe retreat, enjoy a rural lifestyle or just have a fun vacation spot or hunting cabin.
