One of my life goals. No joke.

The homes you're speaking of are called Earthship homes. People have started building them all over the world. The idea started in the 70's and after decades of testing they're a proven off grid solution. Self filtering water system, no electricity, no heat, but stays around 70 degrees year round. You position the house in relation to the sun, and a multitude of other things...
