Thought living in paradise AND lowering your carbon footprint was a mere pipe dream? Well not anymore.
A bamboo shack newly built on the Island of Hawaii is currently on the market for £120,000 ($159,000), having dropped from its previous price tag of £124,000 ($165,000).
Although it doesn’t have the features of a typical house in the suburbs, the idyllic home covers the basics – all with the help from renewable energy technology.
The modest 100 sq ft living area is somewhat cramped but there is a balcony outside, making it the perfect viewing spot for idyllic sunrises and sunsets.
If you get peckish or need the loo however, you’ll have to leave the shack as the kitchen and bathroom are located outside.
The shack is also nestled amongst a grove of papaya, banana, avocado and aloe trees.
And popping to the loo in tropical temperatures inside a bamboo wall isn’t the end of the world, right?
There’s a water catchment system to make sure you’re kept nice and fresh with a fully-functioning shower.
And owners also have the use of a wind turbine to cover the workings of the lighting, radio and refrigerator.
Located in Naalehu, the property is situated in the Ka’ū Forest Reserve.
It is a mere 30-minute drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and a stone’s throw from a picturesque beach, making it the ideal location for anyone who wants serenity with a touch of excitement.
The property is available to viewings through estate agents eXp Realty.
