Video Tour:

The following video will take you on a walkthrough tour of the property:

The Main Home

The two bedroom main home contains about 1,500 square feet with two bedrooms.  This flagstone walkway welcomes visitors to the front door.

Inside the front door, the ining area sits to the right.  Here windows bring in light and views.

The kitchen features beautiful cabinetry with pull-out drawers, a SunFrost refrigerator and beautiful tile countertops.  The cook will enjoy views out the windows as well.  Viga ceilings provide a New Mexico ambiance.

Behind the kitchen sits the comfortable livingroom and its distinctive kiva fireplace.  Like the rest of the property, skylights light the area during the day so that no additional lighting is needed during daylight hours.  To the left lies an office nook.

This view shows the hallway as seen from the front entry to the left.  Doors featuring punched tinwork with crop circle designs mark the entry to the closet and one of the bedrooms.  Flagstone floors give this area a rustic and comfortable earthy feel.

The first bedroom's private location creates a sanctuary.  It also features a huge walk in closet.

The bathroom contains this built in shower.

It also features this composting toilet.

This studio/workshop space also works could serve as the second bedroom.  A loft space above the spacious closet could function as a sleeping loft or storage space.

This sanctuary space outside the kitchen area gives an additional outdoor living area for much of the year.  A short walk leads to the first of the two casitas.

The West Casita

This 700 square foot casita provides the perfect guest quarters or rental property.  While quite close to the main house, a low wall gives privacy.

The flagstone entry invites guests to the door.

Once inside, a foyer entry way contains storage space and a systems room to the left.

This dining space sits by the windows for views and light.

A wood stove suppliments the natural passive solar heating in the living area.

The kitchen features its own cooking area, sink and refrigerator.

The bathroom has a composting toilet and shower.

The private bedroom also features a separate office area and a walk in closet.

The East Casita

The east casita also contains about 700 square feet.  This picture shows it and the west casita to the left.

While the floor plan is almost identical to the other casita, it is has a completely different feel with natural adobe walls.

The kitchen is part of the great room.  This photograph shows the wood stove, refrigerator, and the seating area at the bar.

Beautiful tile work gives the bathroom a bright refreshing look.

Windows provide lots of light for the dining area

The doorway at the rear leads to the bedroom and office.

The bedroom provides a quite refuge separated from the other living space.  It also features a large closet.

This office space makes for a nice work area.

The Unfinished Casita

East of the east casita sits the beginning of a new casita of the same size and others for the compound.  With the tire walls in place, much of the labor intensive work is complete.

Other buildings

Not pictured here are a spacious 2-car garage and an RV hookup area.

This property really provides all that you need for a complete earthship compound experience.  Whether as a primary residence, a get away, or family compound, you really have everything that you need for the ultimate earthship experience.
