About this property

The Artsy Earthship - Incredible Taos Mountain View!

  • Family‑owned Earthship 20 minutes from the Ski Valley with stunning mountain views from the Taos Mesa. Built into the land with passive heating, bright windows, a fireplace stocked with wood, a fully stocked kitchen with sleek polished concrete counters, and a huge island with bar seating (perfect for family dinner), unlimited hot water, a washer, dryer, and strong WiFi. Near hot springs, hiking, Taos Pueblo, the Plaza, incredible stargazing, and peaceful desert landscapes. Enjoy 6 acres of SW serenity! Privacy, nature, romance, and stunning views! This is a modified Earthship with beautiful views of the Arroyo Hondo Mesa and Taos Ski Mountain. “Modified” means it preserves the iconic Earthship architecture built into the mesa with passive heating and cooling while offering modern comforts like reliable water, an instant‑on gas heater, and grid power. It's perfect for guests wanting the Earthship experience without managing complex systems like solar or reclaimed water. You’ll have the entire home to yourself. It’s fully stocked with everything you need: towels, soap, cookware, an army of mugs, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, blow dryer, dishwasher, and more. Our family has used it for years as a ski base and hiking retreat, and it truly holds a special place in our hearts. Upstairs bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds, and the living room includes a pull‑out full bed with views of the night sky (ideal for stargazing). At the foot of the pull‑out is the main fireplace, fully stocked with wood for cozy evenings. Located about 20 minutes from the Ski Mountain and downtown Taos, it’s perfect for guests seeking privacy and nature while staying close to town. A natural hot spring is nearby as well. Message us for directions. Dogs are welcome. For more than one dog, an additional $160 pet cleaning fee applies.
