I would Love to win the Green-House. good-luck to every one.
What a great house! Just right for the family who wants to save the Earth, while saving money. As a semi retired family this is what we all need to work to accomplish.. Thanks for all the great ideas. I wish we had this when I was younger and I
hope all young families will work for a better world in the future.
I really try to enter everyday I wouldnt care if the green home was a small two bedroom house because four months ago I was thrown out on the street by my husband. My family lives in CT. and any home would be a dream come true for me!
The idea of maybe winning the Green House, is so exciteing. as soon as I wake up, I get on the computer to enter the Great contest of the year. (in my eyes anyway) Good-luck to all.
This is the house that I like the most because is earth friendly and the place seems tranquil I LOVE IT. Good Luck to every one, everybody deserves to own its own house; and if that means move and start in a new place I am willing to try.
I love the green home! With the amazing views and the breezy screened-in porch, I could definitly see myself there. Even better is that I live in SC, so I’m close!!
I love the green house ,I have been recycling for a while now, and even my granddaughter has learned it… I would love to win this house,since my husband is in the Military and we have been in for 30 years.. we never had a house to call ours…. but whom ever will win this house, enjoy it.. and keep on recycling… good luck every one. ciao
This is the most fabulous summer home I HAVE EVER seen.It is my favorite tv STATION . I love everything about your show.””FROM EVERYTHING TO
THE FIRST TO THE LAST DETAIL…MY SONS AND HUSBAND LOVE TO FISH.
With the focus on the environment taking center stage, I am very happy to see HGTV taking the lead and promoting the many opportunities for building “green”. My son is an architect and has always been deeply dedicated to using the knowledge and natural resourses that are available to live in harmony with our environment. While this house is beautiful, the effort and job of recycling and paying homage to the planet is what really is beautiful. We must all continue this effort in our daily lives. Bravo, HGTV.
I am a mother of four wonderful children and I live in nyc I was born in philadelphia,Pa I live in a one bedroom apartment with my four children and I haven’t had a break to win anything or even be eligebile to get section8 or housing for me and my children.I really felt like crying when someone won the hgtv dream home in florida and what made me want to cry was that the person who won already has a house.I dont even have a home for me and my children.I also felt that It was very discriminateing because of my name Sybil I,Fuentes.I felt very hurt and discouraged.Im still hopeing that my children would have a chance to have a place that they can really call home.Im sorry to think that about you,Im just hopeing that I am wrong.Please help us have that oppertunity to win this green home sweepstakes.I really need it for my four children because I tried to get help for me and my children with section8 or housing and I have been waiting for the new york city housing authority to send me a letter for an interview for 8years and still waiting.I hope that God will send me an angel to help me and my children have something that we never have a real house with their own rooms and be living under a one bedroom apartment.I hope that everyday that our situation would get a whole lot better.I hope that you would keep us in your hearts and keep us in concideration.Sincerely Sybil I,Fuentes.
My family would love a home on the water where we could actually put a boat in. We live as my father- in-law puts it on a “retention pond”. However, I still see the glass 1/2 full, the birds and the sun shining on the water are absolutely beautiful. The Green Home is too! We are visiting Hilton Head in July. We love it there. Thanks for the sweepstakes and all of the fantastic shows!
I love all the artwork in the Green Home…especially the dog portraits in the guest bath.
Please provide information on how to purchase all the pieces of artwork in the Green Home.
Thanks!
I don’t know about you all, but a FREE house is a dream house to me! Stop worrying about the taxes, the HOA fees, the alligators, the moving expenses and others in the past. If someone doesn’t like the details, don’t enter. This is a FREE house. I think everyone should stop complaining about trival details, and realize what a gift HGTV is doing. No other tv station is giving away free houses, none the less two in one year. Just enter and enjoy folks!
I just want to say, that I hope that who ever wins the Green House, that they are someone who really needs it.That they might be down on their luck. or someone that just is not able to get ahead. Someone that has just about everything, and really does’nt need it, Let someone that really needs and deserves it, and that will take care of the Green-House.Maybe they will be able to help someone else that is down on their luck. Good-Luck.
I love your show. But I don’t ever see any for the State of Alabama. I live in Gadsden Al.
When are you comeing this way. I would like to try and win a house here in Gadsden.
But I do love watching your show.
I am a 70 year old and my husband is 75.
Thank You for haveing your show.
Does Carter come with the house?
I love the feature of the reclaimed water that provides water for irrigation and toilets. In my own home I hate how much water is wasted on a single flush and the fact that people in other countries don’t have clean water to drink. I know it sounds gross but I encourage my children to use the toilet a few times before flushing, unless it is a number two or we have guests. It makes more clean up for me and my fiance, but we don’t mind if it helps conserve water. Just imagine how much fresh water would be saved if every house had this feature. I live in Western Washington, since we have so much rainfall we could definately benefit from this green feature. Love the house, but agree with many others that taxes would be a major issue. I am young and unsure if taxes are to be paid up front or does this become your new mortgage, and monthly payments are made to the IRS???? Good Luck all! I am entering everyday as well, but who knows who will win!
I really feel that its wonderful that HGTV gives people an opportunity to make there Dreams or wishes come true. Its always a pleasure to see people do for others. Its nice to hear others comments and opinions, but for those who write in a negative manner should consider rewording there comments to a more positive manner and just appreciate what HGTV is going through and giving away. I do agree with some of the comments that maybe winners can have a Dream Home built in there home town or were they wish to live. Either way HGTV is giving people a wonderful opportunity.
The green home give away is located in at a good location. In my home state of South Carolina. It is imperative to save energy because of global warming. We must do what we can to help save the enviroment

beatiful home inside and out. good luck !!!!
its great! only us poor folk can wish and dream! way to go hgtv!
Good-Luck to everyone. My grandkids, are hoping that I win the Green-House. It would be so nice to be able to have my Kids and grand babies, over at the same time. I love my little house, but a bigger house would be really nice. And the Green-House would be awesome. I really do hope that someone deserving,will win the Green-House.But if I do win, I sure wouldn’t turn it down.
I have entered in the past, but no luck as of yet. I told my husband and daughter, this “GREEN Home” is the one for us. I have been a conservationist for the past 17 years. I actually work with a agency soil and water conservation. I love everything about the house. The thought of a home that respects the environment is so exciting. I am always recycling and conserving water. I actually just sign a water pledge and got alot of other people to sign it also. I live in South Carolina and this house would be the perfect house for me and my family. I actually dream about it everyday. I have family that lives in Mass., Texas, Ohio, Columbia and North Carolina and they loved Hilton Head, it would be so wonderful to win this house so that I can share it with my family and my friends. I am always watching HGTV and I get great ideas from the show. My whole house needs remodeling since it is about 27 years old. I would like to wish everyone Good Luck, but honestly I hope that I will win this house. It is perfect for me and my family. God Bless and Good Luck to everyone.
This comment is for Sybil…..
I really hope you don’t think that this is a “racially selective” sweepstakes. Let’s not have this blog fill up with sob stories again. These sweepstakes are just that….sweepstakes. It’s called a RANDOM DRAWING! Just like the lottery, random numbers are picked. Sign up once a day like all these other people and just keep your fingers crossed that you win. If you don’t win, don’t go on another blog saying you didn’t win because of this or that….your numbers simply wasn’t chosen!
To everyone else, good luck and keep a positive, realistic approach to these things!
LOL THATS FUNNY , HMM SOMETHING TELLS ME CARTER IS NOT PART OF THE PACKAGE LOL
HIS TABLE IS.
Good-Luck to every one, on winning the
Green-House. The Green-House is really something. It would be so nice to win that wonderful House. We live in Springfield Akron Ohio. We really never have been any where else. That would be such a fantastic change in our lives. Oh well a person can dream, can’t they?
I read the comment from Sybil,I really am so sorry, I hope things get better for and your babies. Let them know that you will always be their for them, and that they are loved. You need to enter the sweepstakes every day like every one else does. Good Luck to you Sybil. and Good Luck to everyone. (and good-luck to me)
I know that I have commented before, but I just can’t help it. I love this home so much and want to be there.I really believe that I can afford it on my income. I am a nurse, but since I survived (thank God) my breast cancer, I only do private duty. This house is so Green that the utility bills will be soooo low. Then you are given a golf cart to get around and the SUV crossover for longer runs.Surely the IRS or whoever would give you time to pay the taxes. Or maybe there is some money in the gift package,I don’t know. All I know is that I want this house so much that I can hardly stand it. And I do pray about it,too. Even though some may look down on my self expression, I dont’t care about that either. I thank HGTV for this opprotunity.I wish everyone well, love Laura
Hi everyone
I might have overlooked this… but does any one know the square footage of the green home. thanks in advance 
HGTV , I SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FROM DEEP IN MY HEART. I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THIS WAY. YOU ARE CHANGING THE WORLD AND MANY LIVES AS WELL. BLESS YOU & ALL YOUR STAFF ALWAYS 
Good Morning Everybody. And I hope it’s a good day for everyone. Good-Luck to you all.
Hello. This is my first time ever entering any kind of sweepstakes. A friend of mine, told me about this site a week ago. Stephanie is a very lucky woman to win that beautiful house. I’d faint if I won that house. I’m a single mother of three boys ages 14, 12 and 7. We’re all from San Diego.So moving to an entirely different enviornment, away would be a great start for us all. We’d be so overwelmed to win the Green House contest. The whole feel of the house inside and out is unbelievable and it also has my favorite colors. Most importantly, it’s the type of home, that I’d love to raise my children in and feel safe. Any way good luck to everyone who entered. Bye for now.
W O W – What else can be said,there are no words to cover everything about this DREAM HOME. This home will be as low impact on our enviroment as is possible. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING EVERYONE HOW IT CAN BE DONE.
I love the whole idea of the Green Home. It’s the nicest house I’ve ever seen. I’d be so lucky to win! I’ve never won anything like that. We do have to start to do things like this to better the world for everyone. Even if just one person did this then others would follow.
WooOOOHOOOOOO! I have been checking out homes in this area, as I am planning to relocate to be closer to my daughter who lives in SC.
Funny thing is I shared with a friend …”hmmmm maybe a home on water will just drop at my feet” hehehheee….and, then what do you know the very next day this house giveaway was announced!
I am VISUALIZING it…and your Dreams are your Possiblilites! Thanks, HGTV…and I promise if I am the winner I’ll be so excited you will probably have to “peel me off the ceiling!” Now, THAT ought to make for a good show! LOL
I am FEELING THE WIN!!!
I wish everyone the very best of luck.
I noticed that there are several places to put comments.I have been putting my comments in each of the separate clues blog page. I have read the blogs on this page, and it saddens me to read some of them. I agree with Kathy, this is a”sweepstakes”, it is not discriminatory at all. Like Kathy said, it’s like buying a lottery ticket. HGTV should be praised for giving the opportunity to “all” of us to “dream” about owning a home like this. After all it is a “Dream Home Sweepstakes”.Thanks again HGTV for the dream. I noticed also that even though I have entered EVERY day since this contest started, I have no blogs on this page. Hope that doesn’t ruin my chances. But, if it’s meant to be, it will be. Good luck to everyone, and let us pray that whoever wins, will honor and respect HGTV, the thought, care, hard work, and considerations that went into building this home. Most of all understand what this home represents, and live up to the standards that are expected to maintain this home and community.
Could we give the cluttered country look in the homes a break. The industry is showing very modern sleek kitchens and homes. The pendulum has swung so could you try another look? Maybe your designer is stuck in this style and you need a new one..Less is more you know
I like the idea of a green home though. And the actual bones of the house are nice
Just a thought
I really enjoy following the dream home give aways HGTV presents. Most interested in this Green Home, love the hometown community this home is part of. Also would love a ‘follow up’ and hear about past dream home winners, how the people are enjoying their homes or how many had to sell them to pay the taxes!! What a dream! winning this gem would be unbelievable! a dream I’m visualizing to come true!! Good luck everyone!

Also would love HGTV to do a ‘follow up’ and hear about past dream home winners, how the people are enjoying their homes, give a little history to what has come of the developments they were built in!! Wow, what a dream! winning this gem would be unbelievable! a dream I’m visualizing to come true!! Only in America people, how lucky are we!!
When I win, I want a list of everything and how it relates to being, “green” so that when people ask me how the house is “green” I can tell them. We are really uneducated in these areas.
I live in South Carolina, and Hilton Head is beautiful. It is a wonderful concept that HGTV has in going, “green”. Global Warming is at our back door. The chances are slight that I’d win, but I wish everyone luck. I have never owned a home and would love to start with such a eco-friendly, lovely home. I would move in right away!
Where exactly is the location of this Green House? I cannot find Tradition Hilton Head on any map?
Good morning America, I wish everyone the best of luck.
Good morning America, I love to listen to everyone’s comments. They are interesting. I wish the very best to everyone And who ever wins this wounderful Green-House, I hope they do take care if it, the way it should be.
I’m not sure if we are suppose to comment, every time we enter the Sweepstakes. It seems that if I don’t comment It will not go through. If someone knows, please let me know. Anyway Good-Luck to everyone. (and good-luck to me) thanks
I believe in Jesus and i know that with him all things are possible. And the home is absoutely beautiful. Excellent Job HGTV. Green is Natural, Pure and Healthy
I have entered this sweepstakes for at least the last four years. Each and every one of the dream homes has been absolutely beautiful, in design and location. I love reading the articles and picturing myself and my family on that porch, patio, or in that kitchen…no wonder they call it a dream home!
What a GREAT county we live in with so many blessings an opportunities. HGTV should be applauded for it’s outstanding program and website, sometimes the projects are so simple but with great rewards. Just think if only 10% of us start changing our ways of living because HGTV has now exposed us and educated us on how to become more “Green”. I was truely amazed on how much waste there is on new home projects, and I love the floors, if we make the changes we can ALL be the WINNERS. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL! GO GREEN!
