Property Description

Elegant living is not typically associated with an Earthship—but here, the term may be an understatement. This beautifully built and thoughtfully designed custom Earthship combines refined aesthetics, modern convenience, and sophisticated off-grid systems to create a distinctive approach to sustainable luxury living. A low-maintenance landscaped entry welcomes you with a firepit and net hammock, creating an inviting outdoor retreat just outside the atrium entrance. Step inside to a light-filled growing space featuring producing banana trees and classic Earthship plantings, framed by expansive thermal-gain windows overlooking the landscaped entry and the Greater World Community beyond. Designed for year-round comfort, the home incorporates advanced passive temperature regulation, including a convection cooling system for warmer summer days. A professionally installed radon mitigation system provides an additional indoor air-quality feature, while the home’s recessed placement within the landscape offers natural protection from prevailing seasonal winds. The interior unfolds around the central atrium with an open, spacious layout. At opposite ends are a private toilet room with sink and mirror and a full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub/shower and sink. The expansive main living area offers a well-appointed chef’s kitchen with abundant custom cabinetry, comfortable gathering space, and a distinctive sunken fireplace seating area. Above, a loft with privacy curtains provides flexible space for additional sleeping accommodations, reading, or relaxation. At the far end of the home, the spacious primary bedroom provides generous closet and storage space, including a lockable owner’s closet—an especially useful feature for a property used as a second home or short-term rental. The home’s infrastructure is equally impressive. A large cistern supports rainwater catchment, while an oversized solar power system is designed to accommodate the conveniences of modern living, including a full-size washer and dryer. Internet service is available by contract through TaosNet, and a cellular booster further enhances connectivity. Located approximately 15–20 minutes from Taos and 20–30 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, the property offers exceptional flexibility as a primary residence, mountain getaway, or potentially an income-producing short-term rental, subject to applicable regulations and requirements. Owners and guests enjoy access to the Greater World Community’s common areas, with the Rio Grande Gorge nearby, community stables available for horses, and miles of private walking and biking trails. The property has an established short-term rental history, and the seller will make every reasonable effort to facilitate the transfer of advance bookings where permitted by the applicable booking platforms. Distinctive even among Earthships, this exceptional property brings together inspired design, comfortable living spaces, sophisticated off-grid systems, and the extraordinary Northern New Mexico landscape. It is a rare opportunity to experience sustainable living without sacrificing comfort, character, or style. Seller, Broker, and Brokerage make no guarantee as to lot size or structure square footage.
