There was a house near where I grew up that was 3/4 under ground. Only the front facing wall was exposed. They claimed almost zero ac/heat costs unless it was just extreme heat/cold. It was hilarious to see them mow the top of the house

If a wizard comes knocking on your door, don't answer it.

Unless you're looking to get your steps in.

There's one just like that near where I grew up and now that I'm older I want to ask them about heating/cooling, because it's got to be so much cheaper than a regular house.

I doubt they would get away with "almost zero" though since it's basically buried with a small hill rather than dug down or cut into stonea cliff.

I imagine maintaining it can be a bitch though.

There was a similar domicile in my area back in the 80s that collapsed due to heavy rains. The occupant was sleeping on the sofa and died.
