Every cottage and estate home that Meritus builds at Keowee Mountain will be built to EarthCraft™ standards. EarthCraft™ House is a green building program that serves as a blueprint for healthier, more comfortable homes, which reduce utility bills and protect the environment. An EarthCraft™ home is one of the most resource-efficient, durable, high performance homes you can buy. Homeowners can benefit from low operating, repair, and even health costs, improved air and water quality, and enhanced quiet, durability, and comfort.
