West Jefferson, NC 28694
Description
Have you ever dreamed of owning a private mountain retreat where you can live independently and be surrounded by nature? Welcome to 211 Independence Way, a remarkable 67-acre estate in the mountains of West Jefferson, NC, offering the rare opportunity to embrace off-grid living without sacrificing comfort or space. This sprawling 3,732-square-foot ranch home has operated completely independent of the electrical grid for the past 20 years, utilizing a combination of solar power, solar thermal, wood, diesel, propane, & fiber optic internet. For buyers seeking additional convenience, utility power is available nearby, allowing the existing system to be converted into a hybrid grid-tied setup. Built with energy-efficient Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction, the home delivers exceptional durability and year-round comfort, staying warm in winter and naturally cool in summer. Hydronic radiant heat warms both the main level and the full unfinished basement through a combination of solar thermal panels and a wood-fired boiler, creating an efficient and comfortable living environment. Relax on the decks or simply open the windows to enjoy the peaceful sounds of South Beaver Creek rushing below the home. The property also offers abundant storage and workspace, with an oversized attached three-car garage and a large metal building housing the solar array, generator, and wood-fired boiler, and providing plenty of room for equipment, vehicles, and recreational gear. The expansive unfinished basement, complete with a partially finished safe room/root cellar, presents outstanding potential for additional living space, a workshop, or customized storage. While the current electrical, heating, and hot water systems have served the owners for two decades, some buyers may choose to expand the existing off-grid infrastructure or connect to utility power to create a hybrid system tailored to their lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a self-sufficient homestead, a private mountain sanctuary, or an extraordinary property with room to grow, 211 Independence Way offers a rare combination of independence, efficiency, and natural beauty.
