Elegant Living is not typically associated with an Earthship - yet in this case, the term is an understatement. This beautifully built and thoughtfully designed custom Earthship blends refined aesthetics with modern convenience, redefining luxury off-grid living. A low-maintenance front yard welcomes you with a firepit and net hammock, creating an inviting outdoor retreat just outside the atrium entrance. Inside, the atrium features producing banana trees and classic Earthship plantings, framed by large thermal-gain windows that capture views across the landscaped entry and toward the compact Earthship community beyond. The home incorporates the latest advancements in passive temperature regulation, including a convection cooling system designed for warm summer days, as well as a professionally installed radon mitigation system for added indoor air quality and peace of mind. Its recessed placement within the landscape provides natural protection from prevailing seasonal winds, enhancing comfort year-round. Interior spaces are thoughtfully laid out around the atrium. On opposite ends are a private toilet room with sink and mirror, and a full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub/shower and sink. The main living area is expansive and well appointed, offering a chef's kitchen with ample custom cabinetry, comfortable lounging space with a flat-screen TV, and a sunken fireplace seating area. Above, a loft with privacy curtains provides flexible additional sleeping or relaxation space. At the far end of the home, the spacious primary bedroom includes generous closet and storage areas, along with a lockable owner's closet. Satellite TV and internet service are available by contract through TaosNet, and a cellular booster ensures reliable connectivity. A large cistern supports rainwater catchment, while an oversized solar power system easily accommodates modern appliances - including a full-size washer and dryer - delivering true luxury living with no utility bills. Located approximately 15-20 minutes from Taos and 20-30 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, this property offers exceptional versatility as a primary residence, second home, income-producing short-term rental, or a combination thereof. Owners and guests enjoy full access to the Greater World Community's common areas, with the Rio Grande Gorge nearby, stables available for horses, and miles of private walking and biking trails. This Earthship also boasts a successful short-term rental history, and the seller will make every reasonable effort to transfer advance bookings where permitted by booking platforms. There is truly no Earthship on Earth like this one - an extraordinary opportunity not to be missed. Seller, Broker, and Brokerage make no guarantee as to lot size or structure square footage. Measurements were obtained from Assessor records. Buyers are advised to independently verify all information.
