Property Description
Previously used as a full-time residence, the home features an open-concept main living area with wood flooring, exposed ceiling beams, built-in shelving and storage, and a gambrel-style roof that provides additional loft space. The loft includes a small sleeping area on one side and storage on the other. A separate bathroom area includes a composting toilet and gravity-fed shower setup.
The property is configured for off-grid living with a 700-watt solar array, although batteries are not currently installed. Some wiring is in place for future electrical upgrades, and a wood stove chimney connection provides an option for installing a wood stove. A water well is located on the property for pumping water as needed. Conventional electricity and natural gas are also available at the property for those wanting additional utility options.
Outside, you'll find a newly constructed covered rear deck completed in August 2026, an additional open deck, fenced yard, raised garden areas, and a storage building with an attached covered area for firewood or equipment. A creek winds through the property, adding to the peaceful country setting.
Situated along a low-traffic county backroad with access by all vehicle types, the property is approximately 6 miles from Grantsville for groceries, restaurants, a hospital, pharmacy and everyday necessities. Calhoun County has no county zoning or building codes.
Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, hunting camp, tiny-home project or a place to pursue a more self-sufficient lifestyle, this property offers plenty of possibilities!
