This secluded earthship in New Mexico puts similar homes to shame. Take a look
A two-bedroom, two-bathroom house shrouded in peaceful seclusion in the New Mexico desert has floated onto the real estate market for $911,997.
And it’s getting tons of attention.
“As featured on Netflix, international television and social media, among the pages of Forbes and AirBnB magazine and many others, is the luxury crown and pinnacle of Mike Reynolds’ 50+ years of Earthship evolution,” the listing on Realtor.com says.
For those confused on what exactly an earthship is, it’s a “self-sufficient, autonomous building designed to utilize local and recycled materials” and “is built to be as gentle and non-impactful on the planet as possible,” TheSpruce.com describes.
Reynolds is the founding father of the earthship, a concept he patented in the 1970s. “The Garbage Warrior” was a 2005 documentary that followed the architect as he attempted to pass legislation that “allows land to be set aside for the testing and development of sustainable buildings,” EarthshipGlobal.com says.
This particular residence in Tres Piedras is 2,700 square feet and has a plethora of unique features including:
“Japanese floating cedar deck”
Sauna
Open floor plan
High ceilings and windows
Two car garage
There’s even a food-producing garden that stretches out 1,000 square feet with a koi pond to relax near.
The home was featured in a video on the popular “houses that are cool” TikTok page.
The listing is held by John Johnston with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Taos Real Estate.
Tres Piedras is about 80 miles north of Santa Fe.
