New York Post • • business
Key Points:
- A unique earth-sheltered home in Huron, Ohio, built mostly underground with a grass-covered roof, is listed for $850,000; the roof requires occasional mowing instead of traditional maintenance like shingle replacement.
- The home, constructed in 1977 by the current owners, is made of solid concrete and blends into the natural landscape, with about 90% of it underground and hidden under a tree canopy.
- Despite its unconventional exterior, the interior features a traditional 2,100-square-foot ranch layout with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, ample natural light, and only one windowless bedroom.
- The property spans eight acres along the Huron River, includes a log cabin and workshop, has 250 feet of waterfront, and is about a 30-minute boat ride from Lake Erie.
- Maintenance differs from typical homes since there is no roof, gutters, or siding to replace, but the sellers have managed upkeep themselves and are seeking a new owner who will appreciate the home's uniqueness.
