Have you ever noticed that in real estate, listings frequently tend to run in streaks?  The streak is not the numbers of listings an agent gets. It is more about the type of listings that come in at the same time. Once you list a property that is out of the ordinary, or one which runs more toward the bizarre or different; it's funny how you often get a lot more of them right away.  Unexpectedly and all of a sudden you're the neighborhood expert on Dome Homes, Atypical A-Frames, and Yurts.  

Right now I'm on an Earth-home Extravaganza for the second time in my career. To date, I have sold at least 5 earth homes, a few Dome homes, and lots and lots of other homes too unusual to classify.  What sets them apart?  Most of these not so ordinary homes, in my opinion, have one thing it common. It's the original home owners. They typically seem to be super creative, have a strong need to be different and were usually willing to use a lot of found and recycled materials. I have discovered these so called "off the wall dream homes" are fascinating, funky and fun to work on. During the hippie 70's "groovy things" were built into those earth homes, such as meditation rooms or towers, time capsules holding little treasures and truth windows so you could peak into the interiors of the walls and see how they were constructed. The earth homes pictured here were sold by me a few years ago. The one below I fondly named the Eco Prairie Castle and I took that photo from a top a hillside across the Valley. The one above has a solar envelop on the front of it.  Predating the green home movement of today both of these homes were built in the mid 70's.
