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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
