Property Description
At the top of Gallina Canyon, in the ponderosa/pinon/juniper clad foothills of the Sangre de Cristos, is this rare ~1500 sq ft, 1 bed/1 bath + studio/office Earthship, built by Taos builder John Hunt. Set on a 1.7 acre lot at 8000 ft, you get dramatic views looking south across the Taos Valley to the Truchas peaks and back to Taos Mountain and Lobo Peak to the east. This meticulously well-maintained off-grid home comes with secure storage, a wood-fired sauna, two wood stoves, a pro-panel roof, cement floors, granite and butcher block counters, flag-stoned patios and walkways, and mature xeric landscaping. Propane powers the oven/stove and the on-demand boiler to give you lots of hot water; water storage is 5,200 gallons, supported by a Multi-pure filtration system. A Sunfrost full-size fridge/freezer, an LG direct-drive clothes washer, a 600-watt PV array and two Honda generators mean the green lifestyle does not require giving up household amenities. If seclusion, scenery, proximity to nature, and a small carbon footprint matter, then you have found your home.
