Perched on a hillside in cool Mountain View is this off grid, 27 ft yurt. The fully-permitted yurt provides 573 sq ft of indoor living space - including a kitchen, bathroom, utility room, and loft - plus 220 sq ft of covered lanais. The spacious interior features pine tongue-and-groove flooring and custom kitchen counters, speaking to a well-built home.
The yurt is from the Colorado Yurt Company and includes the “Big Wind” upgrade to withstand winds of 115 mph. It is powered by a 2.8 kW off-grid PV system with 9 solar panels, a 3000 W Outback inverter, and 16 lead acid deep cycle batteries. The system was professionally designed and installed and supplies electricity for a refrigerator, washing machine, lighting and water catchment system.
Views from the property extend over lower Puna to the distant ocean, with Mauna Kea also visible on a clear day. Lava flows could be seen when the East Rift Zone last erupted. From the east facing front lanai, you can watch the sun and moon rises.
The 5 acres are mostly pasture type of land with a sloped driveway leading up the hill parallel with the right side boundary up to the yurt and surrounding cleared area. Use your imagination in utilizing this unique piece of land. A small garden bed area was started along the driveway and it awaits your green thumb to expand its potential. This area is known for deep soil, cool temperatures and ample rainfall. Come experience the peacefulness of North Peck Rd.
