About this home
Casa Solara | Off-Grid Mountain Living
Just 4 miles north of Black Mountain, Casa Solara is a fully off-grid, passive solar home on 11 private acres with long-range mountain views.
Offering 3,868 SF, the home includes 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The main level features an open living, kitchen, and study area with radiant floor heat, a propane stove, curved architectural walls, and expansive windows that capture natural light and views. Upstairs, two bedrooms open to a private balcony and share a spacious bath, along with a bright yoga/sunroom. The walk-out lower level includes a bedroom, bath, media room, bonus space, and utility/battery room.
Designed by Alice Dodson and built by Mark Bondurant, this thoughtfully crafted residence blends sustainable design with comfort and functionality.
Built for performance, the south-facing orientation maximizes solar gain, while 12-inch concrete walls (R-17) provide thermal mass and natural climate control. The off-grid system includes a 3.6 kW photovoltaic array, Outback inverter, 48 industrial batteries, and solar thermal for hot water and radiant heat, with a Kohler propane generator backup. Private well and 3-bedroom septic in place.
Outdoor features support a self-sufficient lifestyle with terraced gardens, a 1,550-gallon rainwater collection system for irrigation, and established fruit trees (peach, Asian pear, persimmon). Additional structures include a woodworking shop, storage cabin, and chicken barn. Potential for additional homesites.
This is a rare and special property. If you are looking for beauty and off grid living, this is your home....
