Say hello to one of the most unique homes that you’ll likely ever see! This one of a kind earth berm home is located just a few miles from downtown Manistique, but feels worlds away with its private location and one of a kind architectural style. It was built in the late 70s by a company called Terra Dome, and is the result of a building system that creates steel reinforced concrete structures that are super insulated and covered with earth creating a super insulated, and super unique energy efficient home. Massive windows all face south, which allows for the home to benefit from passive solar heating and cooling. This simple solution allows the home to “self regulate” and keep warm in the winter, and shaded and cool in the summer. However, a newly installed forced air furnace ensures precise temperature control, no matter how cold the winter may get. The layout of this home is open and flexible, with large living and dining areas, spacious primary bedroom, and bright “solarium” which would make a great space for some indoor gardening through the long winters. Attached, you’ll find a massive garage with large loft space up above, and you’ll have no shortage of room to roam on the 6+ acres that you can call your own. What was once a shining new “home of the future” has seen some maintenance slip through the cracks over the years. A buyer looking for a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a truly one of a kind property would be an ideal candidate to polish up this home and make it shine bright once again.
