As it does every year HGTV has been building a luxury home to give away to a lucky viewer. This year it's in Truckee Calif. not far from Lake Tahoe. In the new mountain style the 3 200 square foot house has three bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths and sits directly on the Schaffer's Mill Golf Club Course surrounded by evergreens.
Accepting of entries began on Dec. 27 and continues until 3 p.m. ET on Feb. 14 viewers can enter twice a day once at HGTV.com and once at FrontDoor.com. The winner will be randomly selected in March. Along with the house the winner gets a new GMC vehicle and $250 000.
HGTV house planner Jack Thomasson who's been on the HGTV Dream Home project since the beginning took time to answer some questions about the home.
Zap2it What's been the biggest challenge of the project
Jack Thomasson Our biggest challenge is always time. Basically we build a house in five to six months that would typically take over a year to build. The key is finding the right team. Our team in Lake Tahoe was amazing.
Zap2it What have you enjoyed most about it
Jack Thomasson Both the people who I get to know through the process and the sense of accomplishment as viewers respond to what we create.
Zap2it What was the philosophy behind the exterior and interior design
Jack Thomasson Our goal each year is to make the house of the area. Historically houses were built with materials that were from the area and easily accessible and built to withstand the elements of that area. From those necessities a region's architecture emerged. We first look to local architecture for inspiration and then marry that with modern living and a fresh approach.
Zap2it How soon do you start thinking about next year's Dream Home
Jack Thomasson I'm always thinking about the next house. It's my job and my passion.
