This house isn’t particularly old, but it is unique so I thought I would share it! This earth house was built in 1982. It is located on 16.14 acres in Maple, Wisconsin. The house looks like part mountain lodge, part futuristic retreat. It has soaring ceilings, massive stone fireplace, curved balcony and warm wood finishes. Love it or hate it, it’s definitely memorable. Would you move in or this one too unconventional for your taste? Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,995 square feet. $480,000
