Number 2 is my jam for sure.

The first house has great potential for an Airbnb or rental as extra income. They could also have someone live there and take care of the lawn and snow removal.

I loved the first home. Unfortunately, the road cutting through the property was a deal breaker. The second home, while unique, was a little too much. The third home was the most preferable. Thank you for sharing.

I would have taken no 3 also, rent out the second place with provisions of groundskeeper and make money on it.

If you want to minimize your impact you don't buy a 2nd home just for vacations.....

[@bryan__m]

There's nothing wrong with wanting your second home to be "low-impact"... but the realtor called a wood-burning stove "sustainable living" and they were excited about all the fireplace heating, so it's almost like they are just using buzzwords without any concept of what they mean.

​@@bryan__m... absolutely true... It's almost as if they are trying to make excuses not to want it....The estate agent has got his work cut out 😮😅

[@liamporter1137]

Interesting.

[@shastac1396]

Yikes, that stone house is sooooo dark.

[@carolinejohnson22]

Very true....They are so dark and dingy and should be painted white on the inside. 😅😅😅

All were 649k...

The third home looks suburban and naf!

The hypocrisy of claiming environmental responsibility through solar panels lies in the hidden costs of their production. While marketed as a "clean" energy solution, their manufacturing relies on energy-intensive processes, often powered by fossil fuels, offsetting some of their green benefits. Additionally, the mining of materials like quartz and rare metals for solar panels leads to environmental degradation, habitat destruction, and even unethical labor practices in some regions. At the end of their lifecycle, inadequate recycling infrastructure poses a significant waste problem, creating long-term environmental hazards. Thus, solar panels are not entirely the eco-friendly solution they are often portrayed as, raising questions about the sustainability of their production and disposal.

The couple seem pretentious. 😅
