We are so glad to welcome you to our Spectacular Earthship!

This ingenious home is luxuriously off-the-grid, with solar power, water harvesting, integrated greenhouse & expansive glass offering views of mountains & star filled nights. We even have surprisingly good WiFi throughout the home!

For Earthship aficionados, our home is a global model, the pinnacle of sustainable design and architectural beauty without sacrificing comfort.

Our Earthship, built in 2013, isoff-the-grid, meaning all electricity and heating/cooling are solar powered. Water is harvested from rainfall, and used multiple times after domestic use including watering plants in the beautiful integrated greenhouse. The ample New Mexico sun even creates the heat for hot water. The house was constructed with mostly recycled and natural materials, including tires and recycled glass. Everything was lovingly handcrafted and artistic touches abound.

An Earthship is not for everyone. You'll find all the comforts of a modern home, but you need to be conservative in your use of water and electricity. It's much easier to be mindful of resource use and in tune with nature with the expansive views -- you'll see sunrises, sunsets, starry skies, and can watch weather move across the mesa with long range views to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

The Internet access is quite good most of the time, but since you are off-grid sometimes the WiFi can slow down and it can be frustrating. We find the Wifi suitable for streaming television and video calls most of the time, but not always so please be advised. Cell phone reception is limited.

Our guests are amazed at how easy and rewarding it is to experience an earth-sheltered natural home and enjoy learning how to help the house perform at its best :) You maintain comfortable temperatures by opening and closing vents, windows and doors - participation is a must!

Before we purchased this property, it was a long time rental with a 4.98 score and over 200 glowing reviews. People love staying here and we hope you will too!

We are located in the world famous Earthship Biotecture, just outside the beautiful town of Taos, New Mexico. We are located about 20 minutes from the town of Taos and about 45 minutes from the Taos Ski Valley, one of the premier ski destinations in the world.

    Staying in an Earthship is a cool experience! This home is like a retreat inside, We just loved all the details. The smell of the flowers when you enter and the full wall of glass gives you the feel of being outside, but with all the amenities of a home. The bottle walls are beautiful, including the shower. Our son went to Earthship Academy last fall and explained the construction process and concept to us. But until you live the experience you can't fully appreciate it. The construction is so unique and interesting, its worth the stay. I recommend doing the Earthship tour to gain a greater understanding these homes. It is a beautiful home in a great location. FYI, so thankful you had the French Press coffee directions. It had been quite a while since I had made coffee that way--So enjoyable to slow down and enjoy the coffee, the home, and the view of the mountains! Thank you We would highly recommend staying here!

    What a fun/unique stay! Peace and quiet, solitude and views for days. We loved learning about how the earthship was constructed and were amazed by how well it maintained a consistent, comfortable temperature. We would definitely stay again.

    Michelle's home was so cool! Beautiful, clean, the right amount of space for a couple, and full of intriguing Earthship details. Sitting outside and taking in the incredible, expansive views felt transformative for a New Englander.

    The earthship is a lovely stay experience. Very well built and appointed... and in a lovely and relatively private setting.

    It’s a very nice and unique property. This is a great example of an earthship with natural solar heating. The thick walls make for a very quiet and serene environment. You enter through the greenhouse into the main living space where our late October to early November stay was completely comfortable even though it was pretty cold outside. We quite enjoyed our stay.

    Came solo for my birthday and had the best time watching the sunrises and the sunsets. Everything was as described in the listing and my host replied back quickly when I had questions. Thanks for a great stay I really enjoyed reading the original earthship books that were there. So cool to learn more!

    We loved our stay at this earthship. It was wonderful to experience an earthship and see how beautiful and functional they can be. We highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home. The views from the patio at night were also gorgeous.

    I was in New Mexico for work and I have always been intrigued by the Earthship concept. My stay was great- unfortunately not a lot of star gazing due to weather but watching the storms go along the horizon was impressive.

    We enjoyed every minute of our stay in the Earthship! The check in and check out processes were seamless, the space was exactly what was advertised, and the views were stunning! My only regret is not finding a way to bottle the incredible scent the greeted us when we opened the door to the greenhouse area.
