I’ve always wanted a greenhouse, but our property is very hilly, stony and heavily wooded. Where the house is positioned it then slopes down about 15 feet and then even further after a slight flattening, then down another 10 feet or so to where two streams converge. Our neighbors on the left are up at least 25 feet to their driveway, and then up even further.

I love it, but the back deck is eight feet off of the ground and the front slopes precipitously. We call it the “vale”.

We live on one of the steepest hills around our area. Our lower patio is at least 8 feet below our upper patio. That’s why we have such a terrific walk out basement. LOL

The front windows of our house are only about 3 feet to the ground. The back windows are about 8 or 9 feet.

Some of our gardens are terraced because of the steep slopes.
In the winter we go around the block and up a road that is not quite as steep and then slide down the hill to our driveway-when it’s too icy to make it up the hill. We have had times when even 4 wheel drive was challenged.
