| Tumbledown Homes - properties from € 25,000 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tumbledown Homes are low impact restorations that maintain the original external features of the building, with a completely new internal living space. The charm of a secure, stabilised 'wreck' on the outside, yet warm and comfortable on the inside.
|
|
|
TUMBLEDOWN HOMES can be realised only through restoration projects, so would require a plot of land with an existing property on it - in any condition. The properties in this category can be finished internally with modern or rustic interior design.
'Off-grid' plots offer the potential for low-cost, sustainable living... for holidays, seasonal retirement use, great 'escapes' or for simply living 'off the grid'. We can help you buy and organise your very own sustainable, off-grid restoration project. 'Off-grid' means being partly or completely independent of utility company services such as water, heating, sewage and electricity, with minimal standing charges and overheads.
We offer expertise and practical solutions for various off-grid systems; solar lighting and charging, passive solar airspace and water heating, bio-mass hot water heating, rainwater harvesting for domestic and irrigation supplies, rocket stove thermal mass air-space heating, grey water recycling and sewage recycling systems.

We can also create and realise partial and complete landscaping projects that enhance the beauty and practical use of your plot.
A finished restoration project for simple 'off-grid' living can be realised for as little as €28k - €25k for the property plus €3k for a basic off-grid living package. A community project for family and friends could cost as little as €10K for each of the joint buyers taking a shared ownership. |

TUMBLEDOWN HOMES are designed according to the size and height of the original building, and local planning considerations. Internal design, features and materials however, depend mainly on your own particular wishes.
|
|
|
All
work undertaken by us makes greatest use of locally sourced, natural
materials with minimal use of cement, plastic and imported products. We
strive to ensure our project solutions are as low-impact
and carbon neutral as possible - function, form and longevity
in perfect harmony.
