824 Islebay Drive is a 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 3,848-square-foot pool home in MiraBay with more than $130,000 in recent upgrades. The big one is energy: a fully paid-off 18.4 kW rooftop solar system with a 14 kWh whole-home backup battery.
It also has a 2024 roof, dual HVAC systems from 2023, all-new 2026 appliances, a heated pool, a 3-car garage and an EV charger. The price was reduced to $799,000.
Paid-off solar and backup power
The 18.4 kW rooftop solar system is fully paid off, so there is no lease or loan to take over. It is paired with a 14 kWh whole-home backup battery and a Lumin smart energy management system, which lets you choose what stays powered during an outage.
For buyers, that means lower power bills and a house that keeps essentials running when the grid goes down after a storm. There is also an EV charging station in the garage.
