About This Home

As of November 2025

The opportunity to own an Earth Home in Boise doesn’t come around often. Nestled in the foothills just above Downtown Boise, and rumored to have had famed architect Art Troutner's involvement during development stages as his personal residence lies just above. The resulting design is uniquely built into the earth and integrated with the landscape, showcasing the true beauty of the east foothills. Upon entering the home, you are met with the unique coffered ceiling design and a peek into the home's true hidden treasure, an internal atrium — vaulted ceiling and transom windows flood the space with natural light. The single level floor plan offers the best of functionality with good separation of spaces while keeping a very open feel. External concrete walls set into the hillside support the roof system and allow for an open floorplan, as well as floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the front facade. The earth, rock, and native plants reintroduced onto the structure create a natural passive solar design insulating the home while creating an entertainer's roof top patio space with panoramic foothills views from over a 1/3 of an acre. Kick back, enjoy an evening fire while you watch the stars, and possibly spot a fox, or deer. A large 2 car garage and workshop space tucked away offers plenty of space for all storage needs. The Earth House reimagines modern living at its best.
