From the Agent: "Since the 1960s and ’70s, there have been efforts to combine nature and architecture, including the now-classic earth houses, which convey an archaic yet cozy living atmosphere. This particularly tastefully designed home is located in the northwest of an entire construction area of earth houses, with a picturesque lake in the center forming a natural boundary between the properties."

Neighboring other similar homes, the earth house is located less than a 30-minute drive from Zurich.
