Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of Friendship, Maine, in a home that epitomizes simplicity and sustainability. This home has been a full-time, year-round residence, designed to leave a minimal footprint on our environment. As you step inside, you'll feel the peace that comes with a self-sufficient lifestyle which is ready for you to move in and start living off the grid immediately. Water is ingeniously collected through a rain catchment system, providing gravity-fed supply to the sink and shower. Picture yourself heating water on the stovetop or woodstove, mixing it by hand for washing - a simple yet fulfilling routine. Drinking water comes from a local spring or can be purchased, but there's room to add a well, powered by solar, a generator, or extend power from the road. Embrace the charm of using two composting outhouses that are reliable even in the harshest of winters. If you prefer, there's ample space to install a septic system. Charging phones, powering outlets, and lighting are all managed with a small generator connected to the existing electrical panel box. Rechargeable batteries power the lighting, USB chargers, fans, radio, vacuum, etc., seamlessly blending modern convenience with off-grid living. Cooking is a joy with a traditional stove and refrigerator, both running on propane. Imagine cozy winter nights by the woodstove, providing comforting warmth. When you're away, the propane stove ensures a steady temperature. This home isn't just about what it offers now, but what it represents - a blueprint for future possibilities. Whether you choose to maintain its current simplicity or more systems, the potential is endless. Live sustainably and affordably, with the freedom to shape your environment as you see fit. By choosing this home, you're not just buying a house; you're embracing a lifestyle that values sustainability, innovation, and a deep connection to the natural world.
