Off-Grid Passive & Active Solar Home ? A Sustainable Sanctuary in Nova Scotia! This remarkable off-grid home, designed by renowned solar architect Don Roscoe and P.P. Griggs, P.Eng., offers an unparalleled blend of sustainability, privacy, and efficiency. Built in 2002 by Larry Budd of Digby, this meticulously crafted home was designed to be virtually maintenance-free, featuring a steel roof, vinyl siding, a drilled well, and a septic system. With 990 sq. ft. of comfortable living space, 442 sq. ft. of storage, and an additional 295 sq. ft. loft, this home is as functional as it is beautiful.

This home includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room. Designed for optimal energy efficiency, the house faces south, maximizing passive solar gain with most windows positioned accordingly. The north side is bermed four feet into the ground for superior insulation, while propane heating ensures warmth in colder months.

Set on 18.95 acres, this property features two acres of open field and 16.95 acres of picturesque woodland. It includes two outbuildings?one housing solar panels and batteries, and another equipment building, spacious enough for a small car.
