The home comes with its own new compact and sufficient solar system with panels and inverter; a complete water catchment system with water pump, pressure tank and filtration; and an efficient on demand propane water heater. Another bedroom was recently ingeniously built near the home, under a tent on top of a solid wooden platform, and tastefully furnished. This guest suite also boasts its own solar system for all its electrical needs. Nearby is a large nursery recently used to grow tomatoes and a very large tent cover in front of the house, ideal for parking or multiple projects. There is an incredible cave entrance in the back of the property with lava tubes!
