Live in a Michael Reynolds masterpiece.
Featured in many of the Earthship books and architectural
journals, this famous home is now for sale. This spectacular
one-bedroom one-bath home is in the Greater World community, just past
the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge from Taos. Earthship Biotecture presently
operates it as a nightly rental so you can try it before you buy it.
With its excellent rental history, you could also continue to use it as
an investment property or a second home that you would sometimes rent
out, if you did not use it as your primary residence.
The following video tour will
introduce you to this beautiful home.

You see
the artistic touches as you come to the front door. The solar electric
panels are on the roof over the windows and the solar hot water heater
is just above the entry door.
The lush indoor
gardens are the first thing you notice as you enter the living area.
These gardens are more than just pretty plants, they provide water
filtration for gray water (from the shower and sink) that is recycled to
flush the toilet. Here you also see the beautiful flagstone floors that
are found throughout the earthship.
The sunny and
bright kitchen features a gas stove and DC SunFrost
refrigerator/freezer.
Looking
into the living room you see the domed ceiling of the east hut and fireplace in the
round room. The built-in table at the left side of the picture
stretches from the rustic beam to the wall. Adobe plaster walls
give the room a warm earthy feel.
