VALLECITOS-EARTHSHIP.COM

As featured on Netflix, international television and social media, among the pages of Forbes and AirBnB magazine and many others, “Vallecitos" is the luxury crown and pinnacle of Mike Reynolds' 50+ years of Earthship evolution. This exclusive global model earthship features 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage, 1000 square-foot food producing garden with aquaponic system and koi pond, Japanese floating cedar deck and panoramic barrel sauna. The completely custom artisanal design boasts an exquisite Earth-friendly, sustainable, off-grid home with every expected modern amenity found in contemporary luxury builds. The open living/kitchen/dining plan with its 11-foot viga ceilings and 8-foot floor-to-ceiling windows throughout blends the home seamlessly with the surrounding nature. Vallecitos' landscaped yard with 10-foot bottle wall and custom latilla gate and labyrinth offer seclusion and privacy to enjoy the uninterrupted views of the beautiful Taos mountains, and high mesa desert landscape. Vallecitos is part of the Greater World Earthship Community, the largest legal off-grid subdivision in the world. Only a five minute drive to the Taos airport, 20 minutes to downtown Taos or 30 minutes to Taos Ski Valley. In a time of drought, devastating weather events, grid collapse, global pandemics, supply chain issues and economic and political unrest, Vallecitos is an Apocalypse earthship and living piece of art that can sustain and nurture you through these complex times.
