The concept of using earth to insulate a home dates back to around the same time man decided he needed a place to hang his hat. This is because earth adds thermal mass aiding in the absorption and storage of heat energy. This creates consistent indoor temperatures and "saves energy." Earth sheltering has come a long way since Pa Ingalls traded Pet and Patty to Mr. Hansen for his dugout house on the banks of Plum Creek, so has the concept of "saving energy". What use to mean time spent, sawing, chopping, splitting, and aching, now means lower bills. This 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home is tucked away in a spot carved out amongst the trees on a fenced 1.5 acres with nary a neighbor in sight. The property features a detached two car garage, and small, dirt floor, pole barn out back for extra storage. If your idea of home includes escaping from the outside world then this may be the place for you. Spend that "energy" you are saving curled up in front of the wood stove with a good book or stargazing from your grassy roof while deer graze nearby.
