As eco-friendly luxury homes fetch hefty prices from affluent buyers, Washington County may soon lure ones preparing for Armageddon.
A development group plans to break ground in late spring on the first of 50 sustainably designed homes that offer amenities like chef-grade kitchen appliances, housekeeping services, and shower filters that infuse water with vitamin C. Owners will also have access to a common lodge with a commercial kitchen and bar, a private beach and sauna, a meditation center, recreation facilities and more. Home prices will range to over $1 million.
But the Merriwood Sustainable Community, on 1,000 acres along Howard Lake in Robbinston, is also intended to be a haven from COVID-19, the effects of climate change and doomsday in general.
