Nestled high in the foothills of the ancient Appalachian mountain range, amidst a budding community of homesteaders, this large off-grid home comes with all the amenities and conveniences of a city home while offering the tranquility of the country.

This property could be used as a family home, shared with family and friends, as a home-based business, organic restaurant, retreat, and/or used as a starting point for your own Ecovillage.

The solar assembly is wired for back-up power by generator.
