Fire officials say a battery caught fire while it was charging, and quickly spread to the rest of the property.
There were no injuries, but $150,000 worth of damage was sustained.
Firefighters say, despite windy conditions, they were able to save a nearby garage and shed from catching fire.
The cause is accidental, and crews remain on scene.
