• Remarks Public: West Virginia where Mountaineers Are Always Free! Nowhere is this more evident than at this “tiny off-grid” home that sits pretty on peaceful Duckwall Road. This home was lovingly constructed with functionality and style in mind and is literally a potpourri of cool things. Let’s start off with the 3 acres of unrestricted land that it sits on. Land borders a seasonal stream called Mountain Run. This location is also very near to the Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area. The Sleepy Creek WMA is almost 23,000 acres that offer a plethora of activities including hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and bird watching. If you like festivals, activities, and shopping, downtown Berkeley Springs is about 10 minutes away. Although small in stature at 192 square feet, the living area is quite comfortable for a weekend getaway or even an Air BnB for those intrepid souls who want to get away from it all. A great deal of thought went into every aspect of this home construction. From the rough cut, live edge siding, to beautiful metal roofing, to the rustic charm of the front porch with the wonderful view (the unparalleled star-gazing is a sight to behold). Once inside the home, you are greeted by the cutest living quarters ever! Oak hardwood flooring, a stained glass window, and a tin wall, add to this property’s character and appeal. All the windows were recycled and are over 100 years old. There’s a 1930’s laundry sink with old-fashioned pitcher pump that brings water in from the rain barrel that comes with the home. Custom butcher block counter allows for workspace and storage underneath. The sofa converts to a queen-size bed, and you can feast your eyes on the custom-built bar/table on wheels that’s constructed from old barn wood with penny/resin top. Just when you think things couldn’t be more adorable, you’ll notice the small woodstove from Minnesota that can provide heat in the winter. Let’s not forget to mention the “wall of windows” that allows that view to entertain you from inside the tiny house. The owner has configured a small solar panel to provide limited electricity to the home, with portable electrical outlets and a powerful rechargeable fan. Outdoors you will find a primitive kitchen made from recycled bricks (many dating back to the 1600’s). You’ll get a kick out of the privy outside with compostable toilet as well. A hammock for relaxing, nestled between the trees, and a partially fenced area to keep your furry family members within sight. This home has been known to have epic Lip Sync battles for several years, much to the delight of the neighborhood and definitely makes the hills come alive! With the unrestricted acreage, you could even build a main residence and use the tiny home as a guest home. The power company has an easement through the property, so if “off-grid” is not your style, electrical access can be easily obtained. So, is it time to channel your inner mountaineer and take a look at this home? The pictures cannot due the property justice. This is a property that you EXPERIENCE and not tour.
