Conway bought the land in 1970 and began developing the property a few years later, gradually transforming the hillside into a home that was designed to blend into its natural surroundings.Conway’s son, Zane, recently gave unconventional homes expert Kirsten Dirksen a tour of the property in a YouTube video, explaining how his father spent years designing and constructing the house largely by himself.The project reflected Conway’s philosophy of building everything himself rather than purchasing conventional solutions.
