Creating a green home can be a rather difficult, not to mention a rather expensive task to undertake. However, sometimes and some things in life really can be free. Imagine a fully furnished custom-built 2,300-square-foot green home located in Chattahoochee Hills community called Serenbe, Georgia. Also imagine a free 2012 GMC® Terrain® and add $100,000 free money to it. The result? HGTV Green Home 2012 Environmentally Friendly Southern Home.
This Environmentally Friendly Georgia Home will be shown on Friday, April 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. This home will be given to one randomly-selected lucky winner by HGTV 5pm, June 1, 2012. All you need to do to participate is wait until April 12 and go to HGTV.com as well as HGTVRemodels.com. You can visit both websites once a day. Well, you can visit the sites more often, but you can enter the giveaway on both of these sites once per day.
