6 Best Homes to Live Far From People


Living outside of normal communications and conveniences, and using only natural resources such as the sun or wind, is one of the modern ways of rebelling against the system. Designers proved that the average person does not need to sacrifice comfort and habitual way to live in this way. You do not need to spend your life in a tent or in a dugout like a hobbit to become completely self-sufficient and independent of the bustle of the city. Currently, about 1.7 billion people live without electricity, running water and sewerage worldwide. Every person who changes a large city for a secluded refuge away from civilization has a goal. Some want to cut carbon emissions, some want to save money to prepare for the collapse of the oil economy, and some want to be independent. In any case, now all over the world housing is being built far from the usual civilization.
