Earth Sheltered Home With Acreage In Kuna

February 20th, 2008 categories: Featured Properties, For Sale By Owner, Some Of My Favorite Things

FSBo 001 This blog is dedicated to featuring real estate issues and properties in the Kuna area. With the owner’s permission, I what to make you aware of unique opportunities that may not be on our MLS system for one reason or another.

This featured property is earth insulated, with solar features and is surrounded by mature vegetation and gardens. It is very unique to this area because of it’s energy savings features. Our hydro electricity has been so cheap, we don’t see enough energy efficient building being done with the future in mind. This property has been on my wish list to see for a long time

Built into the side of a hill along the creek,the north side of this house uses the earth as an insulator from the elements and the noises of the country road. You can feel quite secure and private on this 10 acre waterfront property. It even boast a small portion of earthen roof.

The owner states there is over 2400 sq ft of living space, a two car detached garage and a 19×30 ft shop on the property. According to Ada county’s tax roll, there are two parcels that make up this 10 acre lot.

Built in the 80’s during the last gas crisis, this home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and a wall of south facing windows to capture that winter sun we enjoy here in Idaho.

FSBo 003 The covered patio, I can imagine is well used in the summer time, facing Indian Creek with plenty of farmland and mountain views.

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity by using the second parcel as another building lot. A great homesite with easy access to the interstate and with beautiful Idaho scenery.

Call me if you are interested in exploring this great real estate opportunity. I still haven’t got to see the inside!
