Casa Solara: Embrace Sustainable Mountain Living with Flexible Options Near Black Mountain Discover a truly exceptional opportunity with Casa Solara, a meticulously crafted off-grid, passive solar home situated on 11 private acres just 4 miles north of vibrant Black Mountain. This rare Western North Carolina gem offers breathtaking long-range mountain views and a lifestyle committed to sustainability without compromising comfort. Thoughtful Design & Spacious Interiors Spanning 3,868 square feet, Casa Solara presents 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, thoughtfully designed by Alice Dodson and built by Mark Bondurant. The main level is an inviting hub, featuring an open-concept living area, kitchen, and study. Here, radiant floor heat, a cozy propane stove, unique curved architectural walls, and ex pansive windows bathe the space in natural light while framing stunning views. Upstairs, two serene bedrooms open onto a private balcony, sharing a spacious bath, alongside a bright, versatile yoga or sunroom. The walk-out lower level offers additional flexibility with a bedroom, bath, media room, bonus space, and a dedicated utility/battery room. High-Performance Living with Future Flexibility Built for optimal performance, Casa Solara's south-facing orientation maximizes passive solar gain, complemented by 12-inch concrete walls (R-17) that provide exceptional thermal mass and natural climate control. The robust off-grid system includes a 3.6 kW photovoltaic array, Outback inverter, 48 industrial batteries, and solar thermal for hot water and radiant heat, all backed by a Kohler propane generator. A private well and 3-bedroom septic system are also in place. For those seeking adaptable living, it's important to note that traditional grid electricity can be brought to the property, offering enhanced flexibility. An estimate detailing the cost for this connection is available in the attachments, providing clarity for future planning. An Outdoor Haven for Self-Sufficiency The expansive grounds support a self-sufficient lifestyle, boasting terraced gardens, a substantial 1,550-gallon rainwater collection system for irrigation, and established fruit trees including peach, Asian pear, and persimmon. Additional structures enhance functionality, with a dedicated woodworking shop, a practical storage cabin, and a charming chicken barn. The property also presents the potential for additional homesites, offering further investment or development opportunities. Casa Solara is more than a home; it's a sanctuary for those who value beauty, performance, and a conscious connection to nature, with the added benefit of future-proofing options. Discover this unparalleled blend of sustainable design and modern comfort.
