Tucked away in Oracle, this unique off-the-grid retreat seamlessly blends historic charm with state-of-the-art modern upgrades. From the moment you arrive, the elevated driveway welcomes you to a property designed for true sustainable living, featuring a private backyard with ample space to park an RV.At the heart of the home is a high-performance 12-volt DC solar energy production system. Powered by six ground-mounted solar panels producing approximately 2,000 peak watts, the energy is stored in two state-of-the-art Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery banks totaling 7200 watt-hours, which make up the Main and Auxiliary systems which power the primary home 12vdc loads and a main switchable inverter alongside four mini inverters that easily handle your 120 vac daily needs. Also included is a portable unit, charged by a 7th PVP, that powers the furnace and other 120 vac loads such as a computer. The total system powers everything from the Eco 12V refrigerator/freezer to the Eco Maytag 120 vac washing machine. The home features double-pane argon gas windows, a rooftop solar hot water pre-heater, and passive solar heating along the south edge. If traditional grid power is ever desired, the owner notes a licensed electrician can reconnect the home's conventional 120VAC grid wiring as a battery charger for the 12 VDC loads and for replacing the inverter 120 VAC loads for approximately $5,000.Step inside to find warm wood laminate flooring, painted exposed brick walls, and spacious bedrooms throughout.
