The official listing for the home can be found here. Please contact the listing agent directly.
What is not reflected in the mainstream listing is that we originally purchased the property as a preparedness measure against Peak Oil / Limits to Growth and have spent 13 years making intentional improvements to become more resilient to that threat. Though life has now led down a different path for us, the homestead can offer these attractive attributes to another buyer as we head into the greatest energy shock in history.
Aspects that we think make this property especially attractive to this community:
- Two, 20’x96’ hoop houses (high tunnels) used for season extension and year-round vegetable gardening;
- Commercial kitchen that can provide another income stream and which has been specifically designed around preserving food grown on the property;
- 9.6 kW solar + 13.44 kWh battery system that backs up key circuits in the event of power failure, including walk in cooler and freezer to avoid saved food loss and key greenhouse circuits to avoid loss of tender seedlings;
- Redundant energy systems across the buildings to support basic needs in the event of a wide range of emergencies, including wood heat, propane, solar/battery back-up, and grid power;
- Close to endless water sources;
- On an island with two points of entry (bridge and ferry) and a local community that recognizes defensive needs around both;
- Property sits back from the road down a private drive, so it blends in more easily; but close enough to build community with other folks – many of whom are similarly, preparedness-inclined.
