Description

This incredible Lake Williams man-cave is tailored for a dual-purpose enthusiast: ham radio operator and astronomer. It boasts a fully equipped observatory featuring a 16-inch Meade telescope housed within a 10-foot rotating dome, offering unparalleled views of the dark night sky in a location with minimal light pollution. The control room, designed for precision operation of the observatory, ensures seamless astronomical exploration. Looking south from the massive 800sf Trex deck is a stunning view of Sugarloaf Mountain and surroundings offering optimal binocular stargazing and relaxation. The property operates primarily off-grid with solar panels and battery storage but maintains a grid backup for reliability. A vast array of ham radio equipment could be included, supported by an extensive antenna farm for robust communication capabilities. Additional features include several high-quality refractors for astronomical versatility, a large assortment of communication gear, and a fully outfitted workshop with a lathe, milling machine, and an exhaustive supply of spare parts for repairs and crafting. This space is truly a paradise for anyone passionate about astronomy and amateur radio operations, marrying technology, sustainability, and productivity in a meticulously curated environment. Most of the electronic goodies will stay with this home, including a small Kabuto tractor for clearing the snow from the large circular driveway, and a small garage/shed on the driveway.
