Check out this unique "green" straw bale home just outside of Jacksonville. The builder used specialty wood frame construction to accommodate straw bales as insulation on all exterior walls, which are 18" thick. The resulting home is comfortably cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Combined with a solar hot water heater, this home has a much lighter energy footprint than most homes. The property is quiet, secluded, and backs up to the BLM in an area that is off-limits to all motorized vehicles. Photos pending.
