There was a house near where I grew up that was 3/4 under ground. Only the front facing wall was exposed. They claimed almost zero ac/heat costs unless it was just extreme heat/cold. It was hilarious to see them mow the top of the house
There’s one just like that near where I grew up and now that I’m older I want to ask them about heating/cooling, because it’s got to be so much cheaper than a regular house.
I doubt they would get away with “almost zero” though since it’s basically buried with a small hill rather than dug down or cut into stonea cliff.

If a wizard comes knocking on your door, don’t answer it.
Unless you’re looking to get your steps in.

I imagine maintaining it can be a bitch though.
There was a similar domicile in my area back in the 80s that collapsed due to heavy rains. The occupant was sleeping on the sofa and died.
