110 Earthship Way El Prado, NM 87529

This elegant earthship sits high on the mesa flanked by stone pillars on three acres surrounded by unobstructed mountain views all around and rolling sage hills. Borders the Rio Grande National monument and your closest neighbors are wild horses across the driveway. It features a huge master bedroom with an en suite tub for two in the sunshine of the greenhouse as well as a fireplace, plus a smaller bedroom with high ceilings and a skylight. Comfortably warm just heated by the sun, the wood stove and two fireplaces are redundant but add charm and back-up heat if you want it really toasty. Banana trees are growing in the kitchen and fig trees in the bedroom hanging over the tub. New gorgeous copper sink and fixtures, new Bioshield clay paint in the living room, bedroom and bath. This home is clean and green throughout. Smooth flagstone floors, washing machine hookup in the laundry area, Hunter Douglas insulated shades, plenty of storage space with built in closets and drawers in every room, all the practical details have been tended to with care. Plus custom artistic touches such as poured concrete kitchen counters with embedded nautilus shells, bottle walls, copper detailing on the cabinetry and a "Stonehenge" entry with large stone pillars and flagstone steps make this earthship unique and lovely. Solar panels and brand new batteries mean no electric bill! No heat bill either. Just $500/year in propane for the stove, fridge and on-demand hot water heater. Water is catchment with two 3000 gallon tanks for a total of 6000 gallons, so no water bill either. Recently re-roofed. Be a part of a sustainable community and live simply and beautifully in the mountains of Taos!
