Property Description
A rare 3.75-acre homesteading-ready property designed for self-sustaining living, land use, and modern energy efficiency in Salem. This 3BR/2.5BA colonial blends privacy, upgraded systems, and highly functional outdoor space into one exceptional offering. A 2021 storm-resistant PermaLock metal roof (50-year transferable warranty, East Coast Metal Roofing), 2024 SunPower solar system (11.75 kW; 27 panels; leased through April 2044) producing approximately 10,500-11,500 kWh annually - in line with SunPower's pre-install estimate, transferable via a simple credit check for reporting purposes only, with net metering credits banked with Eversource each summer and a production guarantee in the lease - and generator-ready wiring provide long-term resilience and substantially reduced energy costs. A fully integrated Home Assistant smart system controls lighting, outlets, and security, including programmable WLED accent lighting throughout. The main level features a 25x13 den with wood stove and slider to the outdoors; the primary suite includes a whirlpool tub and double closets. Outside: covered garden, 1/4-acre cleared field ready for cultivation, mature woodland with established walking trails, and an established mix of fruit and nut trees and bushes.
