150 feet of Florida River frontage with SPECTACULAR FISHING right IN the back yard of your GREEN efficient earth home. Let the sound of the RIVER bring you peace and serenity. The extraordinary EARTH HOME was built from 11.5" thick monolithic pored concrete walls (9477 cubic feet of concrete was used to construct the home). ThreeTerradomes make up the roof and ceiling structures. The east and west sides of the home is visible, while the ends of the home and the roof are covered with earth and rock. In fact, there is approximately three million pounds of soil and rock on the home for year-round insulation. The home is over-engineered for snow load. During construction the owner put in oversized plumbing pipes of rolled copper, a large french drain system, extra electrical &water lines to several parts of the site. The radiant in-floor heat uses propane gas. There is also a secondary gas line and plumbing drain near the heating system for future use. The home is an open floor plan with a huge solarium sunroom for passive solar heat, and three skylights. The counters are made from reclaimed wood from the property. The garage and workshop are heated on a separate zone. There are 4 frost free outdoor spigots, and 4 seasonal spigots. Inside, the floors are stamped concrete. Wildlife abounds - nature lovers rejoice!
