Eco Treehouses

I’m in the process of house hunting, which is a faraway, tortuous affair.  I won’t bore you with the details.

Anyway, our realtors always tell us to look at our potential neighbors and figure out whether they are the Clampetts - will they keep their yards nice and tidy, or will there be junk strewn out day after day, which could erode the value of your home?

The other day,  we took a look at a house which had nice curb appeal, but the next door neighbor, while they were far from the Clampetts, had the most derelict looking treehouse in

their front yard.  It looked like it should be condemned.  It definitely looked far from these cool “ecocoons” I’ve seen online.  Have you heard of them?

Ecocoons are aesthetically pleasing, eco-friendly treehouses, with features such as dry toilets,  rain water harvesting showers, bio mass heating and photo voltaic panels.

It seems like a concept at that point but whether our neighbor had one of these in their yard, I don’t think they would be categorized as a Clampett.
