About this home
Live off the grid in this naturally heated and cooled 2 bedroom 2 bath berm constructed home. Built into the side of a hill, the natural insulation of the earth keeps the home at a comfortable steady temperature year round. Woodstove and monitor heater provide additional cozy warmth if desired. The kerosene tank has provided supplemental heat over the last 2 winters and still contains fuel. Charming new front addition houses a third bedroom but could easily serve as sunroom, den or family room. Wildlife abounds in the wooded acres surrounding the home and wild flowers grow on the earthen roof. Truly a fairytale home in a lovely setting.
