Off-grid home and 43 acres for sale in Northern New Mexico: http://www.offgridhomeforsale.info
Flagstaff, AZ USA
This beautiful Flagstaff self-sufficient style home is for sale by owner for someone with a desire for fresh mountain air, relaxed living, homesteading, and a bit more independence to be able to raise their own food and provide for their own energy needs while still having all available utilities. Built in 1994, this home has 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, a green room for your indoor plants, fireplace with gas insert, attached 2 car garage, root cellar and private Jacuzzi/relaxing area.
This property is 2.51 acres square, has room to park everything, has several independent 6’ wood and chain-link fenced areas for privacy, micro-climates and animals (approx. 1500 feet of fencing) and a total of 9 building including the following: two detached green houses with a very large garden, one garden shed, one horse/goat shelter and one chicken/turkey shelter with independent pens, solar power and a small tack shed for indoor storage, our camping gear shed 10×12 ft, the work shop 16×20 with work benches & electrical, one detached 24×24 building with water, electrical, sewer and a new unused wood cooking stove (could easy be converted to an apartment). This place has been designed to be self-sufficient with 44 solar panels that produce over 10,000 watts of electricity (that is enough for almost two homes) never pay for electricity again. You could be completely off the grid with minimum conversion if needed.
We produce almost all our own food by raising chickens, turkeys, ducks, miniature cattle, horses, bees, and rabbits for food and cold fertilizer. We grow enough food in the green houses, fruit trees and berry bushes for a minimum of six months every year. If you put in a small underground green house you could easily grow food year round. Our property also has a 40×80 foot pond that is filled with the run-off from two buildings through diverter valves from the gutters. The house also has a full system of gutters and valves that can fill and maintain 21-55 gallon drums for the garden or drinking in case of emergency (distill all water first). The pond is used for watering the garden.
The entire property is hooked to Doney Park water and has a bunch of well established trees and berry bushes of all kinds through the above ground water system. For gas you have two options, we prefer propane and buy it once a year, or if you like natural gas you could have the gas company run a line in to your meter, their main line is at the front of the driveway.
If you’re looking for a home that is out of the city, away from the smog, noise, pollution, trash, and gangs where you can live the life you have always dreamed of than this is what you want!
