Description
Experience the simplicity of off-grid living without sacrificing comfort in this thoughtfully built custom studio surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Situated on 3 acres just off the paved road, this approximately 400 sqft unpermitted studio offers a peaceful setting with privacy, usable space, and room to expand. Seller financing considered. Built in 2021, the home features a clean, modern interior along with a fully enclosed 240 sqft lanai that adds flexible living space and a comfortable indoor-outdoor feel. Set up for independent off-grid living, the property offers freedom from traditional electric utility bills, with a gas stove, tankless gas water heater, key-start generator, and 1,000-gallon water catchment system. The generator has helped maintain everyday comfort through recent stormy weather, offering added peace of mind when conditions are less predictable. An attached 2-car covered carport adds convenience, while the structure was designed with the possibility of a future second story in mind. Mature tropical landscaping surrounds the property, with a variety of established fruit trees and flowering plants throughout. Enjoy oranges, pink lemon, white guava, papaya, breadfruit, passion fruit, and multiple avocado varieties, along with orchids, hibiscus, blue jade, roses, lavender, gardenias, aloe, and mature palms that create a peaceful garden setting. With established infrastructure and room to make it your own, this property offers a unique opportunity to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
