The off-grid 2 bed 1 and 1/4 bath house on 3.44 acres was built 1962. Power comes from rooftop PV panels to 60 amp MPPT solar charge controller (new 2024), to bank of ten deep-cycle 12 volt storage batteries (new 2024). A 4kw continuous pure sine wave inverter (new 2024) supplies AC to power refrigerator/freezer, washer, and all else.
A former commercial orchid farm operated from approx. 1975-2000. 40 2-1/2” steel supports, set in concrete, held up ¼ acre of shade cloth and the overhead sprinkler system. Shade cloth is currently removed and bagged, ready to re-hang if desired. Overhead sprinklers are still installed but irrigation pipe to pond would have to be re-established to operate. Steel supports are still in good shape. Area is currently used for orchard and gardening. The 24’x 60’ greenhouse would need a new roll of plastic for roof and then ready to go. The adjacent farm building, currently used for storage, was a work space and also once served as worker housing. It has its own 1500 gal. catchment tank, sink, outdoor hot shower, and solar power.
Producing trees include assorted avocado, banana and plantain, papaya, Meyer lemon, sour lemon, lime, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, breadfruit, cacao, starfruit, eggfruit, guava, Malabar chestnut, cashew, betel nut, dozens of coconut palm. Also, white pineapples, basil, Japanese eggplant, vanilla, lilikoi, blackberry, and lots of space in two raised garden beds for more plantings. Abiu and breadnut not yet producing.
