Off-Grid Living with Modern Comforts
One of the most interesting things about this home is that it is completely off-grid. You won’t have to worry about an electric bill because the house is powered by solar panels. There is a propane generator for backup, but the main energy comes from the sun. The solar panels are tucked away so you don’t even see them from the main house.
For heating, the owners installed a large outdoor wood furnace. This system takes care of the house, the hot water, and even the hot tub. If you don’t want to use the wood furnace, there is a secondary geothermal system for cooling and backup heating. Everything is well-insulated with foam from the crawl space to the roof to keep the temperature steady.

- Solar power system
- Backup propane generator
- Outdoor wood furnace

Your Own Backyard Oasis
The backyard is built for entertaining and feels like a private resort. There is an in-ground salt-water pool that looks like a lagoon. It has a sun shelf where you can put lounge chairs right in the water. Next to the pool is a hot tub wrapped in stacked stone that overflows into the pool. You can control the lights and the heat for the pool and hot tub with a simple remote.
The rest of the property is just as impressive. There is a wrap-around porch with a wood ceiling where you can sit and look out at the trees. From parts of the yard, you can even see North Mouse Creek. Because the land is so large, you will often see deer and turkey walking through the woods.

A modern ($22,000) outdoor wood furnace heats the house, the hot water, and the hot tub. The home also has a propane tankless hot water heater that is secondary or backup to the outdoor wood furnace. This property has a secondary geothermal heat system that would only need to be used as a heating source if buyer chooses not to utilize the outdoor wood furnace.
