Situated on a sprawling 91-acres of land, sits the perfect property to create your self-sufficient haven. The steel framed, earth-sheltered home offers increased structural integrity and was originally built as a bomb shelter. Set up for solar power upgrades this type of home can efficiently maintain comfortable temperatures without relying on external power sources. The property will allow you to stockpile supplies comfortably and cultivate a sustainable garden and crops to establish a secure and self-sufficient off-grid lifestyle. There are multiple water sources, including a drilled well and over 7,000 feet of combined water frontage on the Thornapple River. Along with a freshwater supply, land for food production, and an efficient earth-sheltered home, this property offers everything a survivalist or prepper has been looking for.
