House Green
tradition and eco-sustainable green building

In the old centre of Cabras (Oristano), we offer a complex of two traditional Campidanese houses, joined together. Magnificent renovation in green building.
A really unique opportunity for those who love tradition that perfectly integrates with modern eco-sustainable solutions.
House Green is a complex consisting of two traditional Campidanese houses joined together in the old centre of Cabras, a seaside small town in the province of Oristano.
The building complex
The houses, gardens and internal courtyards have been recently renovated with local materials and have two independent entrances from two different streets in the old centre.
The total covered area of the entire complex is 333 sqm.
Here we find a residential area with a gross commercial area of 121 sqm, and an area that is currently used as a Guest House with a gross commercial area of 212 sqm.
The gardens and green areas, courtyards and paved outdoor areas occupy 202 sqm totally.
The complex includes 21 rooms totally, including two entrance rooms, two large living areas, two kitchens, seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, three of which have disabled access.
Green building renovation
Carried out by an architect, the renovation was based on the typical and traditional building characteristics and materials of the place.
Raw earth walls, wooden roofing and Sardinian tiles, woven cane ceilings, original cementine floors are an example of the followed approach.
The renovation works involved the complete renovation of the attics, of the roofing with traditional Sardinian tiles, of the external and internal facades and the renovation of plaster with the hydraulic lime.
Seven Velux-type roof skylights were installed on the roofing for recovering air and light to the rooms involved.
Energy efficiency
The used green building techniques have produced the excellent thermal efficiency that characterizes this property, so good that air conditioning systems (hot/cold) are unnecessary, and the house can be managed in the name of energy saving.
Wood stoves are used for heating. Passive solar protection elements, ventilated roofs and natural ventilation chimneys provide cooling. The integration with modular internal air destratifier fans further lowers the perceived temperature inside the units.
At present, electricity consumption is negligible and does not even justify the expense and impact of a photovoltaic panel system.
Eco-sustainability
A latest-generation solar thermal panel and gas boilers provide hot water.
A rainwater recovery system, on the other hand, provides irrigation for the garden of Mediterranean species. Drainage and natural mulching conserve soil moisture, while compost produced from food scraps, leaves and pruning fertilize it.
The garden and outdoor spaces
In the outdoor spaces and in the garden we find an orchard with orange, mandarin, lemon, olive, peach, plum trees, caper bushes, rosemary, strawberry ground cover, thyme, sage, medicinal plants, and colourful geraniums and roses.
In the internal garden, facing the main kitchen, there is a small wood-fired oven in raw earth, as is traditional in Campidanese houses, for cooking food and making bread.
Multipurpose use
House Green offers the opportunity for multiple uses.
The property, in fact, can be a large and comfortable private home, or an exclusive holiday home. On the other hand, you can separate it into two units again (see the two entrances), or easily divide it into mini-apartments.
The property is sold furnished.
