The story
Built in 2011 this stunning home blends modern architecture and design with the countryside setting for a private retreat. The home was designed and built to integrate owned solar power with the local utility grid. While the grid connection was never finalized, the core solar infrastructure is in place. The property currently runs on limited solar power with two supporting generators in preparation to hook up to the grid or upgrade the solar system capacity to fully power the home. The home is priced to accommodate connecting to the grid.
