This contemporary ranch, nestled within a gently sloped and tranquil 11 acre wooded parcel (which borders State Park land), offers the cozy feel of a getaway cabin combined with efficient design – highlighted by the grid-tied solar array . The home is designed to optimize its southerly orientation – large picture windows and sliding doors open out to a spacious front deck, and infuse the main living space with natural light filtering through the canopy. This central space combines a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, dining area, and a living room complete with wood stove. Two bedroom spaces are complemented by a possible third bunk room or office which connects to the utility and laundry area, as well as a bright full bathroom. The home runs without on-site fossil fuels, and the 3,900 watt solar array with battery bank provides peace of mind, a sense of self-sufficiency, and low running costs. The setting is truly special – a gravel driveway leads up to the home site with low maintenance social areas, and then back into delightful mixed deciduous and pine woods. The parcel adjoins Oquaga Creek State Park land both behind and across the road, with more state land nearby.
