Unique 2-storey home with 65 acres of land with great views of the Bay of Fundy. Located off the power grid, power is generated by solar panels, a 1.5kW wind turbine, and, if needed, a 10kW generator. Outbuildings include a greenhouse, barn, sugar maple hut, generator room, and wood shed. All power systems have been upgraded since 2007. The exterior and interior have been repainted and the kitchen and bathrooms remodeled. New roof and gutters were installed in 2009.
The home has solar panels, a wind turbine, a European style wood heating system and, finally, a generator that will automatically come on to supply power, in the unlikely event that alternative energy sources are unavailable. Batteries hold 800 amp hours of reserve.
The home is surrounded by original growth forests and blueberry fields. The views of the Bay and forests are unbelievable.
The nearest fishing village is Advocate. The town of Parrsboro is the areas central commercial center.
