Built using natural and sustainable construction techniques, the home incorporates cob—a mixture of sand, clay and straw, along with straw bale construction and a roundwood timber frame utilizing logs harvested from the property. The home was originally created as part of an exploration of natural building methods and was designed with efficiency and passive-solar concepts in mind. While the home may appear to need some work today, it offers tremendous potential for someone who appreciates unconventional architecture, sustainable building, and a property with a story.
