Not sure if it was from the last time this was posted but there’s a decent YouTube video about this place.[1]

Almost all the videos on this channel are fascinating btw. Greenhouses enveloping entire houses/villages[0][1] in northern Europe to earthships[2] to someone growing citrus in Nebraska using trenches[3] to entire villages underground in Australia[4]

I'd also recommend the channels FLORB and Happen Films though they're admittedly a little corny.

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't recently did a tour of an interesting alt home as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YyWspKzbAw

Are there places in the world where this is still possible? I.e. relatively in a state of order but where enforcement of this kind of thing is poor.

Sure, 4 Ha (10 acres) is an inconsequential corner of a 4,500 Ha farm with rural zoning - no one's going to care if you carve out a few underground spaces and rock wall them entirely and only at risk to yourself.

Community standards kick in once you open such things to the public or move to sale w/out disclosing an invisible (or plainly visible) potential hazard that the buyer should be aware of.

Well, in rural Australia at least.

It's beautiful, but I wouldn't want to be down there in a major quake.

My dad took me here a couple times as a kid, it's such a lovely place. Highly recommend checking it out, it's well worth the drive.
