Earthship Built by Hand Hits Market | Colorado Springs News
Description
Sixty years ago, Mike Reynolds dreamed up Earthships—homes built from trash, powered by the sun, and designed to live off-grid. Now, a stunning 4,000-square-foot Earthship in Colorado Springs, crafted by its owners in 1997, is hitting the market for $15 million. With walls made of tires and cans, passive solar heating, earth-sheltered design, and solar panels generating 20 kilowatts, it runs on just $35–$50 monthly for heat and air. Inside, you’ll find kiva fireplaces, a double kitchen, a courtyard primary suite, and stained glass medallions marking each month—proof that eco-living can be both radical and beautiful. The movement’s still alive in Taos, New Mexico, with a campus and master’s program, making this home a living legacy of sustainable innovation.
