About this property
West Asheville Eco Friendly House Made of Hempcrete in Quiet Neighborhood
This is a quaint and timeless eco-friendly house made of hemp called the Nauhaus. It was designed as a model for urban sustainability and is located in a quiet neighborhood. The passive solar design and 16-inch thick hemcrete walls help the house stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It also features a living roof, brick floor and walls made from clay from the building site, multiple outdoor living spaces, and lots of edible plants.
