ELEGANT LIVING is not usually associated with an Earthship but in this case, it's an understatement. This beautifully built, and elegantly appointed custom home has all of the modern convienences. There is a low maintenance yard, with a firepit and net hammock, in front of the entrance into the atrium, which features producing banana trees, and other plantings typical of an Earthship. Your atrium view is over the front yard through large thermal gain producing windows, towards the small, compact Earthship Community area. The home features the latest advancements in interior temperature control, including a passive convection cooling system for the warmer days of summer. The entire property is located in a depression protecting it from seasonal prevailing winds. Inside, on each end of the atrium are the toilet room, with a sink and mirror; and bathroom, with a clawfoot tub/shower and sink. The main living space consists of a large common area with a cooks kitchen, featuring ample custom cabinetry, lounging space with flatscreen TV, a sunken fireplace space; and a loft with privacy curtains. At the other end of the living space is a large bedroom, with plenty of closet and storage space, and a lockable "owners closet". A satellite TV/Internet connection is available by contract from TaosNet, and there is a cellphone booster, to connect you to the rest of the world. A large cistern provides for water catchment, and an oversized solar power system supports modern appliances, like a full sized washer and dryer, to make this off-grid home luxury living with no utility bills. Located only 15-20 minutes from Taos, and 20-30 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, use it as a primary residence, second home, or income producing short-term Rental; or some combination of the last two. You, and/or your guests, also have full access to the common areas of the Greater World Community with the Rio Grande Gorge nearby, stables for a horse, and miles of private walking/biking trails.
