A custom-built cabin on almost 5 unrestricted acres, w/ intentions of living "off the grid." The "best of both worlds," can be had. Grid or not, the property is located approximately 15 minutes from West Jefferson and 20 minutes to Boone. The custom features include the following: Timber frame w/ structural panels on the walls and roof. Two fireplaces w/ 1 in the GR and 1 in the MBR. Outdoor wood boiler with zoned hydronic heat in the cabin, w/ gas back-up heat. All Energy Star appliances. Gas stove, gas dryer, and gas water heater. There is a 2500 watt solar system partially installed. There are 7 more panels at the house to install and then batteries added in order to go off of the grid. The owner is a contractor; however, the cabin still needs some completion: the upstairs loft needs to have permanent flooring installed, and railing installed around the area looking down into the GR. They will give a flooring allowance w/ an acceptable offer. There is a separate entrance to the basement, but it has space under the staircase that can lead to the basement. There are several outside buildings for storage and equipment. This is an opportunity to put your own style into the cabin.
