An off-grid greenhouse is for sale on Lake Vänern
A sustainable and light-filled greenhouse design is for sale on the shores of Sweden’s largest lake, and its innovative eco-design means that it is completely self-sufficient and can feed its inhabitants.
The next generation Vänerbostad is called Naturvillan and has a glass prism design with living areas laid out in a log block in the center. Its climate-adapted environment includes its own systems for heating, electricity and water collection, which makes it completely off-grid.
Living spaces are staggered over three main levels, accessed via a series of stairs. Bedrooms and more private areas are hidden within timber volumes, while more exposed zones of the Swedish property are used as terraces. Solar cells are integrated in the structural glass frame to power Vänersborg’s eco-home and its enormous climate-controlled terraces for growing food, from Mediterranean plants to fruit and flowers.
Life in a greenhouse sounds pretty public. However, the nature villa is located on a private plot, surrounded by forest on the shores of Lake Vänern and has a rustic and secluded feel. Interested parties can find out more via Erasweden, which markets the Swedish property from SEK 7,850,000.
