Fantastic View

A stump home has great views from its inside. This feature makes it possible to enjoy a great view from your window. It’s also more secure to live in a stump home due to its elevation.

Flood -Resistant

Stump homes are more flood-resistant than standard houses. Since they’re built on top of the house’s floor, they can’t be easily flooded once it gets too high.

Insulating Properties

Since most stump homes are raised over the ground, their insulating properties will be good. In hotter climates, being elevated can help cool your home.
