Your off grid vacation retreat awaits you with this brand new build that provides a well appointed primary suite on the first level with spacious closet and full bathroom with private access to the rear deck, open concept living, dining and kitchen with cathedral ceilings adorned with tongue and groove and wood beams tastefully highlighted with a massive chandelier with LED lighting. Kitchen comes complete with stainless dishwasher, full size refrigerator, microwave and propane range. In addition to the conventional propane range for cooking, also featured is a J A Roby Strato Woodburning Cookstove with water tank which can be used to heat the cabin with wood or cook dinner. The first level also houses the laundry/full guest bathroom and small storage closet. The second floor offers birds eye views of the cabin from the open loft area and the second guest bedroom. The loft area is a comfortable den or perfect space for the home office. This home is located in an off grid subdivision. The subdivision is surrounded in part by Kumbrabow State Forest and timberland. Homeowners use either solar or generators to provide electric power. There are two full-time residents and several vacation cabins. This cabin uses primarily solar power but does have a generator hookup for backup power. Currently 3200 watts of solar panels are installed which connect to a 10KW POWMR hybrid inverter with an integrated MPPT charge controller. The inverter supplies up to 10Kw of 240AC electrical power and sends excess power to an array of twelve 280Ah LiFePO4 batteries. The batteries provide about 43Kw of storage. In addition to the solar array, the backup generator outlet connects to the inverter and can be used to both power the home and charge the batteries if needed. The home has two electrical panels. One panel supplies lights, refrigerator and a few outlets, the other panel supplies power to heavier loads like washer/dryer, mini-split, etc. This was done to allow the homeowner to be a light or heavy user of electricity. The number of solar panels currently installed are sufficient to use the home as a vacation cabin. For permanent living, more panels would likely need to be installed. Conduit is buried in place to facilitate the installation of additional panels. The water system is designed to either fill tanks by hauling water or use rainwater collection. There are three 1100 gallon tanks in the crawlspace. These tanks are connected to a pump which supplies water to the home. The filtration system uses standard 4" X 20" water filters. The cabin comes complete with a Starlink system for internet and security cameras for peace of mind when away. If you are on the search for the perfect West Virginia getaway in the mountains - this could be the one! Schedule your tour today.
