A friend of mine lives in a yurt - in Alaska, year round. He loves the off the grid life and does very well.
You’d think any description of a complex building would include a picture or 10. Nope, we must use our imagination.
Some of my neighbors live in yurts. One night this winter, we had a low of -51, F (high elevation micro-climate). Problem is, because of the big city regulations here, in the middle of nowhere (CO), even with a very sparse population, the folks with yurts were forced to pay impact fees and get building permits for houses and other permits before being allowed to stay on their own lots in yurts. Year-round camping on your own lot is illegal.
The ice piles up, as it does in the Arctic. Winds gust to over 100 mph. And still, the fees and regulations.
So check on regulations and fees before buying a lot for a yurt.
