Crafted in 2014, The Lantern House an architecturally striking 2,400 sq ft home was designed with efficiency and resilience in mind, featuring a steel, concrete, and glass exterior, nearly 50% window coverage with Anderson 400 series tempered windows, Velux skylights, and a steel roof with a membrane under layer. Surrounded by nature and built to the highest fire safety standards, this home is as durable as it is beautiful. Inside, enjoy radiant floor heating powered by solar, propane, and a stunning double-sided contraflow wood-fired heater with an integrated water coil and pizza-style oven. The heart of the home boasts high-end finishes including a BlueStar 6-burner range with griddle and double oven, a Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid refrigerator, large pantry, root cellar, and ducting for a heat recovery ventilator. With bathrooms featuring Toto bidets and an outdoor shower, comfort meets functionality at every turn. Energy independence is effortless here, with a 13.5 kW solar array (six poles, three sun-tracking), 60 kWh of battery storage (new at the end of 2023), solar thermal for heat and hot water, a micro-hydro generator, and a 20 kW Kohler propane backup generator. The home also features an EV charging station, and Starlink high speed internet— providing all the modern conveniences while living off-grid. Water is abundant with a well and state water rights to both Barleyfield and Reading Creeks, supporting a seasonal pond near the home and a larger ¾-acre pond, home to the endangered Western Pond Turtle. A total of 25,000 gallons of water storage supports the main residence, mobile unit, and fire suppression system. There's also a charming orchard of apple and pear trees and a slow sand filtration system for the mobile water supply. Additional features include a 1,200 sq ft 3-bay shop (plumbed for a bathroom), steel woodshed, storage trailer, an older dirt-floor garage, and a second permitted dwelling unit — an older mobile home offering additional potential. The property is securely gated with Viking Access and even plumbed for an outdoor kitchen, ideal for entertaining under the stars. Bordering BLM and Sierra Pacific lands, this property is a rare find for those seeking true off-grid luxury, unmatched privacy, and a deep connection with the land — whether as a full-time residence, sustainable retreat, or generational homestead.
