Description
This unique property offers the ultimate oasis in self-sustainability and independence. Surrounded by farmland, this straw bale house boasts exceptional insulation and charming architectural features, including curved walls around windows and doors. Designed with prepper principles in mind, the house features redundant water and heating systems designed with possible grid down situation in mind. Water is sourced from a well, rooftop collection, and three interconnected cisterns, while heating is provided by both a Woodmaster outdoor furnace and a Temp-Cast masonry heater, ensuring thermal stability and efficiency. Outside, the property is a haven for nature enthusiasts, with abundant hunting opportunities and proximity to Bear Creek and Deep Creek Lake for fishing. The yard hosts a chemical-free raised bed garden, and an orchard with various fruit trees. Additional amenities include a parking pad/basketball court, a spacious workshop with woodstove heating, a separate building housing the Woodmaster furnace, and a greenhouse equipped for year-round cultivation. With its array of features and emphasis on self-sufficiency, this property offers a unique opportunity for sustainable living in a serene environment! A MUST SEE!
