OFF-GRID

Off-grid living means something different to everyone. 

Ultimately, it’s a deeply personal lifestyle choice.

Most people agree that living off-grid at least means disconnecting from the power grid and relying on alternative sources such as solar, wind, generators, or even doing without electricity altogether.

For others, off-grid living means disconnecting from all utilities, including water and sewer systems.

There are as many ways to live off-grid as there are people who choose this path.

People choose off-grid living for many reasons. You may want more freedom, a simpler life, a smaller carbon footprint, greater self-sufficiency, or a deeper connection to nature and rural living.

                                        

You might seek self-reliance, growing or hunting your own food, and living solely off your own land. Some are drawn to solitude in remote areas, while others prefer being near a community of like-minded individuals.

  .

There are people who want to live the off-grid lifestyle, but still need internet for work or supplies, a cell phone for emergencies, or gasoline for a generator or vehicle. Perhaps they need to be a little closer to town for school or medical facilities.

Whatever off-grid means to you, we can help you find the perfect home or property to make your dreams a reality!

 Our off-grid property listings are generally remote, far from large cities, and offer the opportunity to live your off-grid dream. Some properties may have conventional power available, while others are too remote for it to be financially practical. If you see a property that interests you, call our office for more information. Be sure to check with local governing authorities to confirm the viability of your plans and any requirements.

If you spot a property on our website that matches what you’re looking for, contact us for more information. We add new listings daily.

Let us know what you’re looking for, and we will work hard to help you find the right place where you can live the lifestyle that makes the most sense to YOU!

 

~Just some friendly advice when traveling in rural Oregon, especially if you are from out of the area. ~
  • Do not rely solely on technology such as GPS for navigation. Do make sure all of your batteries and electronics are charged. 
            *This is especially true when visiting rural properties, many places in rural Oregon and in the mountains do not have cell service*
  • Printing out your maps and taking them with you is a good idea.
  • Make sure you know your travel route before you leave, and drive an appropriate vehicle for the roads.
  • Towns with gas or charging stations can be many miles away, keep your tank full or battery charged. 
  • Make sure you have emergency supplies, including blankets, a first-aid kit, a flashlight, food, and water and appropriate shoes and clothing.
  • Let someone know where you are, what your plans are, and when you are expected to return. Try not to deviate from your plan. 
  • Use common sense and follow appropriate safety precautions.
