Maybe We’ll Rethink That Earthship Home Idea After All

We came across this earthen home near Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It’s under construction. We were so thrilled when we saw see a “For Sale” sign on the property. We thought “Hey, maybe it’s a sign! Is it meant to be?”
When we stopped to talk to the closest neighbor, he gave us the scoop.
The home is for sale because “Wild Bill” as he’s known by the locals, ran out of money after pouring over $1 million into it. It’s a bare shell, nothing more. It’s been on the market for over three years, and the property owners in this tidy subdivision near Williams Lake would be happy to see it blown up. They’d pay someone to bulldoze it if they could.
Looking at the sorry state of this property, one man’s earthship dream, got us thinking; maybe we don’t have enough money to be so green?

Of course an Earthship doesn’t have to cost a million bucks, you should be able to get one for a whole lot less…
Besides that.., I just read the “vision” of Earthship Biotecture and it is a wide one. Anyone should be able to build one, but if you deviate from the existing plans you do not necessarily deviate from the Earthship concept. In the end it’s more an ideal and a philosofie than merely a building. Live how you like, just keep it “green”…
