North Carolina Yurt Home (2011)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- A tour of our former yurt home in Valdese, North Carolina! This was from 2011, when we lived there. Within a couple of years after building it, we moved onward to new things and the yurt became a vacation home with significantly simplified furnishings, but I never got an updated video! This video is no longer current, and the yurt is now owned privately by family members. But it remains one of the only code-approved residential yurt homes in North Carolina, so I thought it might be good to keep it on the internet! If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask! I don't check comments regularly, but I do get notifications from UA-cam to my email. Enjoy the tour and forgive my sometimes cringe-worthy commentary!

I've watched this video many times for space saving ideas. It's been very helpful. This may be none of my business but I am sorry to hear that you're going through a divorce. It's hard on everyone. Please stay strong and keep your chin up. And remember, even if you don't want to, it's been found that the act of smiling improves the mood of those around a person as well as improving the mood of the one smiling. So keep your chin up and smile.
This is pretty much what I visualized doing with my yurt, I have a 16-footer and I'm thinking of getting a 24- or 30-footer. This video brought what was in my head to in front of my eyes. It shows me that yeah, I'm not crazy, it's a good house and it can be done :)
Really love what you guys have done. It gives me inspiration;thanks. Take care.
I don't care what ANYONE says . . . . . It's an Awesome home ! ! ! ! I would love to have one done up like this. The one thing that did come to mind, is going to use the facilities . . . . in inclimate weather, doesn't having to go to the next yurt a bit inconvenient ? I understand though the fact that there just isn't enough room in the main yurt to put in a bathroom too. I would find a way to make an enclosure though for having to get up in the middle of the night to run to the bathroom. Especially during cold and wet weather. Do you find that to be any sort of problem ? As far as the rest of it, I truly love it and would consider living in one myself ! ! !
Daniel Patrick I agree about the bathroom facilities and inclement weather so maybe they should just put a cover of some sort between the two doors so at least you don't get wet or the snow on the ground between the two Yurts, but I have to say that bathroom your facility is beautiful & what a magnificent job they did with the 2 Yourts and the grounds around them, love the deck too 😉
Stunning! So cozy, and the bathhouse is gorgeous. just beautiful!
@yanikv No, actually. It's not like living in a tent at all. Drafts weren't really a problem, and the noise on the roof was magical when it rained. I'm really sad to be selling this house. I got divorced and my life took a different direction and I have moved to Arizona. I would live in a yurt again in a heartbeat.
This is exactly what I am thinking of doing can not afford a home so I think for very low cost this is a great option I like to hunt and fish so I could save on food cost as well even start a big garden I'm going to start researching this for myself love this video and thank you for the inspiration
A very comfortable looking home. Well done!
What a lovely, comfortable home.
This is very very lovely ...and I LOOOOVE all the books .💞
this is so amazing I lost count of how many times I said 'omg', 'this is amazing' 'omggggg'
it's impressive to see what they done within that space. I love it.
I love it too. Beautiful.
neato, I been searching for some sort of alternative living space because I am a strange bird and I like to be cheap... um frugal. I live in North Carolina so I suppose it is nice to see that it is possible to build a yurt here.
It is truly lovely and comfy looking. As far as safety, if something or someone wants to cause you harm it will no matter what. Pacific yurts 30' start at $10,000
Large dog + gun = best home defense.
Large dog alone will prevent most criminals, if not then the dog will alert you to get gun. Dog + gun and home advantage > crook with gun
you + gun = reason for the intruder to kill you
DonWoschto at least if you had those things you could try to defend yourself vs just giving up and being easy target. I got them both...and will use them.
I wish you best of luck.
Provoganda guess it's a Trump fan 😋
I love it. it is yours and you have made it just the way you love it, i also love all the books!. NOW ALL YOU THUMPERS! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL! NO ONE ASK YOUR OPINION ANYWAY!
Love what you've done, though I think I would go for less clutter in 1 yurt. Still a beautiful home.
it is so spacious,really nice use of the space,i love it
Samantha, I have seen videos of various yurts and they just did not give me any feeling of wanting to live in one at all ... then I saw your video. I would not mind living in this! Very nice, cozy and compartmentalized to your tastes ... love that you guys are expanding to what you like ... doggy seems happy in the yurt as well.
Do you worry about safety in the yurt? How strong are they?
actually it is a very very nice home and you'll have done wonders with it and i like the new plans for upgrading it with a new room.
wow this is literally everything I wanted for me and my fiance when we thought of yurts.
What a beautiful space you have created! I love it!
I been looking into tiny houses until i found this video....... need to do some more research about how a build like this would cost...I'm a little lucky on the labor end because my whole family builds for a living...I'm so excited and i LOVE Love LOVE your setup....Love all the book nook as well...keep up the good work cant wait to see the addition you are adding on....
Thank you for the tour, well done, lots of excellent usage of your space!
Beautiful wonderful porch lovely Yurt ⛺️
I love this! This is exactly what I want.
I enjoyed seeing this very much. It looks so cozy and well designed. I love all the organization ideas. :)
Beautiful Home!
Amazing! Your yurt tastefully designed and pragmatic! You can design yurt interiors as there clearly is a market. Did you have utilities on the property before you put up the yurt? Do you have municipal water or well? Septic tank? I am putting my yurt up in Vermont. Any tips? Not on guns and dogs as security is not an issue. Thanks for your time and effort. Enjoy your yurt.
Thats beyond nice. I would move outta my RV for that! Even though I live in a RV by choice. I have thought about a tiny house until I seen this.
The plans are being drawn for the oversized deck that our yurt will sit on. Can't wait!! Do you get any snow?
Beautiful! Stunning.
Nice job!
Love it. I'm planning on building an earthbag home myself but this is a really nice yurt. :)
very nice I didn't know people were doing this I watch how the mongols live in yurts and thought that would be a cozy home, so this is really neet
Wow!!!!! Love this setup.
what a beautiful home - obviously still making additions - but the place seems so roomy...
i love this so much. It's beautiful, i love what you've done with all of it. It's bigger then most Yurts i've seen. I would buy it if i lived in North Carolina. The only thing i would do is add more grass to the backyard.
BRAVO!!!! Love your home!!!
I LOVE it!!! So cool!
dele comida a ese perro jajajaja :D
anda!!!!!!!! jajajaja
Inspiring, very well done and clever. What type of insulation is that in the roof? Rigid foam? Is a vapor barrier required? Also, do you think it could be used in the walls for partial soundproofing? Hear much when in rains etc? The traveling noise is what is keeping me from going all out and buying one.
All the best.
@deranaomi Yes! We LOVE it!! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the tour! Do you live in a yurt too?
Thank you for sharing your home with us. Don't you like living in the round?
Great yurt....love your deck. We're just planning one for our yurt now and wondering whether to make it freestanding or attach it to floor beams from the house.
Do you have to have some type of permit from the county. I love the simplicity of yurt's. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice.
This is amazing! I would LOVE to live there =)
This is fantastic you live in paradise, I have had a very similar vision but without the gazebo and add a wood fire hot tub in the deck :) Thanks for the video I'm so inspired, if you don't mind me asking what did it cost for you to do all this?
omg yours is my fav set up so far my only question is how hard would it be to UN-hook the plumbing and electric to take it down and have it reset back up say if you moved. otherwise id love to hook up indoor lights and running water for a sink but i think i could manage doing hand washing out of a basin and solar electric id just want the electric part very finished so i could understand how it works.but i v fallen in love with yurts
Love it too. Great home. God Bless
are property taxes cheaper for yurts then regular houses or mobile homes in nc?
TheRosa63 I don't know where this is but in New Jersey you wouldn't be able to put a yurt on any property and be taxed unless you had a stick-built home on it already
Yes for the facilities in another yourt what would be in nice to have a tunnel to go there..,isolated tunnel...
Very nice! Do you have problems with mold?
Hey Samantha, I'd be a few years max away from purchasing this, but I tell ya, I live only one state up from this awesome yurt and am seriously considering this for my first "house" or at least something similar. I've always been the kinda guy to try different ways of living, especially to be closer to nature, so I feel this place is just what I'm looking for.
I did have a few questions, like is it comfortable in the winter? and how much would utilities ultimately be?
really cool
👍 Very cool.
I love it! Been looking at Yurts for a little over a year. Looking for the land first in the tropics. Do you think it could handle the humidity there?
Best!

If you ever decide to redo your tour, going slower giving the camera time to focus would help. Talking about a thing right as the camera ia focused on it for 20 or 30 seconds helps too. Thanks for the tour. What do you like and dislike about your yurt? How many are you that live comfortably in there?
Did you build tbe walls for covention and utility?
what was the cost of building the yurt and including the platform.. ( not talking inside furnishings)... Thnaks
My dream life
I was wondering what the code process was like. Would you say NC is pretty easy to build a yurt in or was it difficult for y’all?
Very nice, thanks for sharing. What brand/ company is this yurt from? Thanks!
that's amazing !
Love the house
Simply adorable- SOLD! LOL
Unfortunately, no. I am thinking about a yurt, but I don't want to live in NC and I am a few years away. You list lots of pros to living in a yurt, but what are your cons?
thanks for the inspiration :-)
How much would a home like this cost? Like what were the costs for the seller and yurt?
Great!
Your house is lovely,but how are yurts in extremely cold conditions?
Considering that yurts originated in Mongolia i think even with a stove/fire in the middle pretty good. You can also do a double wall insulation or like these folks did that reflective stuff.
Amazing!
Very nice so creative. Love it, are you part of the Yurt Company ? Or what companies do you recommend for quality and international delivery. Thanks for the tour
lol smartmeter - there goes your health - but anyways I really like all the bookshelves
I was wondering how much a build like this would cost, minus the land.
I want to live in a yurt soooo bad!
So jealous!
I'm curious how big the yurt is. You have room for a loft. I'm guessing 24 foot?
Ron west At 1:29 she says it's 30" feet across. :)
So, what does a Yurt that size generally sell for?
Where are you located? We live in NC. Is it really for sale?
When did you buy normal? I bet renting it finances the normal house right?
What sort of books are in your library? 🤔
Cool.
What sizes are your main yurt and bath yurt? What brand did you purchase?
Samantha Swensen pls answer this question because I'm very interested in the answer
I wish I had an idea of Cost for something like this. Minus the land.
Have a beautiful setup. Why selling it?
Cozy, comfy home 🏡 how much for the main Yurt?
Ok is warm climates ⛺️
How much. Is it sold??
Did you end up selling it?
❤
How much for your house.??
You ned a storage shed so your yurt is round and not full of stuff...You kinda loose the entire idea of a yurt with so much stuff
So your not living off grid you have hydro and running water so why a yurk
storm winters why not... 15-22 grand. beats paying the banks for the next 25 years ...great idea
Great idea
Hi Samantha, do you have an email address where I can reach out with a few questions?
anyone who dislikes this video is just a total hater
I could live like that! please clean your lens.
yurt
its a copy of a banoba dome!
Too cluttered.
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire
