"Gwangneung Arboretum Zero House Country Home for Sale"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] It was announced on the 5th that five units of the zero house country homes at Gwangneung Arboretum are currently being sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

These country homes are located in Jikdong-ri, Soheul-eup, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, near Gwangneung Arboretum. Gwangneung Arboretum has had restricted access since the Joseon Dynasty and is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Within about 10 minutes from the country homes, there are large supermarkets and hospitals. It takes about 40 minutes by car to Seoul Jamsil. The homes feature reinforced concrete slab structures and brick finishes for easy maintenance, private gardens and vegetable patches, and service areas of around 10㎡.

Zero houses are homes that produce and use their own energy. By applying insulation materials and double-glazed windows, energy loss through the building envelope is minimized, and renewable energy sources such as solar and geothermal energy are utilized for heating and cooling, minimizing energy consumption. These homes also come with free installation of geothermal heating and cooling systems and solar panels. They are expected to reduce energy consumption by about 80% compared to typical country homes.
