Live off of the grid on this beautiful 3-acre, private, fenced property with AG zoning, a productive organic garden complete with a greenhouse, water, electric and an automatic, programmable irrigation system (22 zones with 16 presently in use). Many beautiful professionally installed plantings including palm trees, bougainvillea, crepe myrtles, ginger, turmeric, moringa, mango, and much more.

There is also a 20kw backup generator which runs the whole house (including the central air conditioning) fueled by propane from an in-ground 1,000-gallon propane tank. Pay a $33.00 per month fee for the electric meter, so you can sell your excess electricity to the utility company and get a check back every year! Delicious, clear and cold well water with a whole-house water filter all enclosed in a nice, decorative, protective shed. The home has been set back on the top of a gently sloping hill allowing positive drainage away from the home with scenic views all around.

Stainless steel Maytag top-of-the-line 19-SEER solar-compatible variable speed HVAC system that will run on generator even when the power goes out, and an on-demand hot water heater that runs on propane. If the power goes out you can keep the water hot and the air cool. 36' tall TV antenna tower (All over-the-air channels are FREE!) with rotor. The home also has Spectrum cable and high-speed internet. Huge driveway with an oversized parking pad. Large, sturdy 16'x4’ chicken coop with a 16'x14' triple-screened secure fenced-in run with electricity and water. The 14 laying hens living there convey with the sale, if desired.
