Sometimes it’s fun to browse the available green homes for sale and one of the coolest places to do this is at Green Homes for Sale. The downside is that Green Homes for Sale homes tend to be on the more expensive side. On the positive side, it’s nice to get ideas about what’s out there, and even if you’re not looking to buy this site is great inspiration for your own green home – i.e. if you’re building or remodeling green. I browse around Green Homes for Sale often, and I’m always seeing homes I adore. Below are a few of my current obsessions.
I usually look in Oregon first, being that I live there, and today I found an awesome custom built timber-framed green home and guesthouse right near Portland! This home features all natural wood for the timber frame, framing, decks, siding, hardwood Oregon white oak floors cabinets and trim is FSC certified or salvaged. Natural products were used for wood sealing and there’s low/zero VOC paints on the walls. The house also has a passive solar design, wool carpets, marmoleum kitchen floor and all the appliances are Energy Star. Plus landscaping contains all native vegetation and there is a rainwater catchment system. Nice. Personally I love all the tree views. It pretty much screams PDX.
