Welcome to the Spectacular Earthship—a rare opportunity to experience luxurious off-grid living in an architectural marvel just outside Taos, New Mexico. This “Global Model” Earthship is the pinnacle of eco-conscious design, blending sustainability with beauty and comfort. Built in 2013 using recycled and natural materials like tires and glass, the home operates entirely off the grid with solar electricity, passive heating and cooling, rainwater harvesting, and an integrated greenhouse that recycles water and nurtures a lush indoor garden.
Wake up to sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, stargaze through expansive glass windows, and stay cozy with sun-powered hot water. While cell reception is limited, surprisingly good WiFi allows for streaming and video calls most of the time. Guests are invited to participate in the home’s functionality—adjusting vents and windows to maintain comfort and learning the rhythms of sustainable living.
Perfect for eco-enthusiasts, conscious travelers, or those seeking a unique and educational escape, this Earthship offers an immersive connection to nature without sacrificing modern amenities. Just 20 minutes from downtown Taos and 45 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, it’s an unforgettable stay in one of the world’s most iconic sustainable communities.
