#Yurts

Affordable living in Mountain View, Hawaii with this off-the-grid yurt. There are a few catches, though. The solar power system is hooked up to the house next door and will be disconnected. A new owner will have to set up a new solar system—including panels, batteries, and an inverter. $179K.

Yurts are made of fabric and wood, but this one appears to have a metal outer shell wrapping.

A yurt is one large space, and you set it up as you like. The floor looks like bamboo.

The stylish bamboo furniture comes from Bali and is included.

There's a cute kitchen.

The sleeping area is next to the kitchen.

Screen walls form a closet behind the bed.

In Hawaiian fashion, the home features a large lava rock shower.

It has a composting toilet that you fill with peat moss, then spin the handle, and it becomes fertilizer. And, there's a lovely covered deck.

The owners were going to make a cesspool for the toilet, but when the backhoe started to dig the hole, they discovered this lava cavern. So, they had lava rock built around it. It’s just a cool feature, and they are fairly common in the area.

Naturally formed stalagmites and stalactites adorn the cavern. The lava-rock formations—created by water seeping through the porous rock—hang from the ceiling and protrude from the floor.

It looks like hot wax dripping from a candle.

You can see how deep the cave is- that's the ladder entrance way down there.

The home is in the Fern Acres subdivision and there's a variety of different homes in the neighborhood, where new-construction houses are in the $400,000 range and most of the roads are paved.

Each of the homes is on a 2-acre lot. The subdivision itself is about one-third developed. Each lot is 100 feet wide and 871 feet long, so it’s long and skinny.

The yurt is set back 500 feet from the driveway, so it’s pretty private.

 It was built in 1993, on a lot teeming with tropical landscaping. Since it's not a traditional home, it can't be financed, though.

Choosing glamping tents for your glamping site depends on several factors such as your target clientele, location, climate, and the unique experiences you want to offer. Here’s a brief comparison of geodesic dome tents, yurts, and bell tents to help you make an informed decision:

Another month, another game jam. This one's theme was space and updating a minigame, so I took my very basic archery setup from Delve and turned it into a space western yeehaw game with an anti-capitalist story.

Learned a lot about svg and CSS. Box shadow and drop shadow are awesome!

I was wondering at what point does an over built tent become a soft house? And I think the tipping point of that is a yurt.

I have some wall tent based ideas in the works. I'll add more when I get it more coherent.

I have never seen a yurt as beautiful as Christiane’s hippie yurt in Germany.

Isn’t this a colorful hippie paradise?

It looks soooo cozy at night.

This is her creative corner.

Christiane says, “Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life.”

She also says, “Music is Life. That is why our hearts have beats.’ She has a big retro console. Very cool.

What a happy dining area.

A yellow fridge and purple stove. What a fun kitchen.

Isn’t this a cute bedroom? Love the honeycomb balls on the ceiling.
