Cob Homes-Country Rural Living


Green home designs are getting more popular every year and cob homes is just one home that is being considered. I’m going to be honest with you, if you walked into your local grocery store and told people that you lived in a cob house, they would think that you built your home out of corn cobs after you had the world’s largest barbecue.

All too often many people have no clue that cob structures aren’t made from corn cobs but are constructed from other natural and sustainable material. This is the perfect housing choice for people who currently live in the big city and want to get back to nature and begin living a healthier and more natural lifestyle in wonderful and wild rural America!

As parents, we all want our children to have the best start in life by living in a healthy environment. Even when we get older and have retired from working in a fast paced atmosphere, we begin to think about our own mortality and have the desire to be healthier so that we can live longer. After all, no sane person wants to die because of the toxins and carcinogens often associated with city life.

Round cob homes are certainly the antithesis of life in big city apartments. There’s no worry about years and years of lead paint, lead in the water, moldy walls or infestations of rodents and bugs that can cause severe damage to your body. The choice should be a no-brainer for fastidious and health conscious people seeking to change their lifestyles by moving out to the open, country areas in rural America.

Although there are great, wide open spaces, there are also cities to fulfill your cultural and social needs too. More and more people are looking into mud cob homes in Oregon for a variety of reasons. Land is really quite affordable and the air quality is great.
