๐๐๏ธ WHAT IF HOME WASNโT JUST A HOUSEโฆ BUT A VISION?
This is a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Earthship historyโa genuine Earthship designed and engineered by renowned Earthship pioneer Michael Reynolds. ๐ฑ
Nestled on 20 private acres at approximately 8,000 feet, this property is surrounded by mature pines, aspens, spruce, and fir, offering the kind of seclusion and natural beauty that makes you feel worlds awayโฆ while still being less than 30 minutes from the nearest grocery store. ๐ฒโจ
And then thereโs the structure. ๐
๐ก The unfinished Earthship was created from original 1994 architectural plans stamped by Michael Reynolds and built directly into an earth berm in the bedrock.
โป๏ธ Rammed-earth tire walls
๐ง๏ธ Original rainwater catchment design
๐ช Greenhouse window wall
๐๏ธ Mountain and peak views
๐ฒ Deep forested privacy
โ๏ธ Fully off-grid potential
Inside, the Earthship is essentially a blank canvasโbare earth floors and no interior framing, plumbing, or electrical. That means the next owner gets the opportunity to bring their own vision to life, subject to current county requirements.
๐ง Water: Two 1,000-gallon underground cisterns. The original roof catchment system is no longer permitted under current Colorado water laws, so future owners will need to plan for water delivery or explore well permitting options.
โ๏ธ Electric: None. The property is fully off-grid and ready for someone interested in solar or other alternative energy solutions.
๐ฝ Sewer: None. Septic has not been installed.
๐ Access is via a private gated road with a recorded easement, and a dirt driveway leads directly to the structure.
And for the history-minded buyer, the property comes with original Earthship documentation, including engineer-stamped drawings, receipts, and photographsโgiving you a remarkable head start on understanding the original project.
This isn't your typical mountain property.
This is for the person who looks at an unfinished structure and sees possibility.
For the builder. ๐จ
The innovator. ๐ก
The sustainability enthusiast. ๐
The dreamer who wants to create something truly one-of-a-kind. โจ
20 acres. 8,000 feet. Off-grid. Earthship. Colorado mountains.
