An Out-of-This-World Earthship Home Is Looking for a New Crew
Location: 27 Earthship Way, Taos, New Mexico
Price: $911,997
Footprint: 2,700 square feet (two bedrooms, two baths)
Lot Size: 2.31 acres
From the Agent: "As featured on Netflix and among the pages of Forbes and Airbnb magazine is the pinnacle of Mike Reynolds’s 50+ years of Earthship evolution. Known as Vallecitos, this exclusive model earthship features a 1,000-square-foot food-producing garden with an aquaponic system and koi pond, a Japanese floating cedar deck, and a panoramic barrel sauna. The Earth-friendly, off-grid home has every expected modern amenity found in contemporary luxury builds. Vallecitos’s landscaped yard (with 10-foot bottle wall and custom latilla gate) offers seclusion and privacy to enjoy uninterrupted views of the beautiful Taos mountains, and high mesa desert landscape. Vallecitos is part of the Greater World Earthship Community, the largest legal off-grid subdivision in the world."
The sculptural, earth-toned home blends into the landscape at the foot of the Taos Mountains.
Inside, an open-plan layout connects the main living spaces with a 1,000-square-foot food-producing greenhouse. Current crops include sweet potatoes, tomatoes, figs, microgreens, and pineapple—just to name a few.
"Despite the complex design, this Earthship is incredibly low maintenance," notes the agent. "Less than an hour a month is all that is required to maintain solar/electrical and plumbing systems. Further, the home has been outfitted with a professional media connectivity network for reliable and fast internet service."
Each of the two bathrooms feature a completely custom design.
The home’s landscaped yard features an 11-foot privacy wall. In addition to a floating Japanese deck and stone labyrinth, the outdoor space includes six flagstone patios, a wood-burning cedar barrel sauna, and fruit trees.
An aerial view showcases the home’s secluded site within the Greater World Community. Despite the property’s remote setting, it is less than half an hour away from a number of activities, including skiing, biking, hiking, rafting, and rock climbing.
