Solar Power system: We have a professionally-designed code-approved electrical power system with 72 solar panels, 20 kw battery bank, two 8000 watt Radian Inverters and a new 17kw diesel backup generator. The electrical engineer designed the system to be able to expand up to 60kw of battery power, enough to supply electrical needs for several dozen people as well as the pool and spa complex. Water System and Geothermal Well: In addition to the geothermal well, we have a 19,000 gallon catchment tank with another 32,000 gallon tank for a total of 51,000 gallons of fresh water. All the catchment water is triple-filtered and UV sterilized to supply high-quality water for drinking, cooking/bathing and irrigation. We also have a deep well with geothermal warm water (95F) for the hot tub and the aquatic therapy pool. We pump 10,000 gallons a day and keep the pools chemical free. There is space to put in a 100,000 gallon pond for agricultural irrigation with the well water. New Greenhouse: 35' wide single-arch greenhouse that is currently 36' long'. It will be used initially as storage for the tractor, mower, trailer and other implements. It is built on solid reinforced concrete grade beams on graded/compacted land and can eventually be another multi-purpose space with a 35'x96' wooden floor (3300 sq. ft.). It is located next to the parking lot and property entrance at the southeast side of the property. It could be expanded to 96' by 35' in one multi-purpose room. Internet: We have an enterprise-grade system with commercial components such as a Ubiquiti dream machine router and Cat6 buried conduit and cable that supplies the Ubiquiti switches and access points in all the buildings. We have ethernet cables available in the Co-working office as well as the Pineapple Lounge which is another co-working space. Typical speeds are 60 mbps down/ 20-30 up. Road access, Parking, Mail and Security: We have road access via two 10' automatic gates at the entrance of the subdivision that lead to the 16' wide paved road Lolia Place. Located at the top of the subdivision we have a parking lot that accommodates 20+ cars as well as space for 100+ cars alongside the 600' gravel driveway between the parking lot and the paved road, as well as temporary/load in/out parking next to the buildings and cottages. We also have a commercial mailbox with 4 secure large parcel bins and delivery by FedEx and UPS as well. The subdivision and our 8-acre lot are all completely fenced to keep feral pigs and trespassers out. A new stonewall is under construction at the entrance to the parking lot. Private cottages: Currently we have 2 cottages that are generating about $17,000 annually in income per unit. Cottages have electricity via a rechargeable battery and residents use communal bathroom and kitchen facilities. The cottages are outfitted with 4 twin A beds for retreats which can be set up as 1 king bed for individuals or couples.
