Earthship Farm sits on twenty acres of New Mexico land. The land is fenced and then crossed and powered by solar and wind energy. The earthship also contains AC electricity around the edge of the earth. The Earthship sees the Jemez, Sangra de Cristos, and Cerro Negra mountains just outside the windows. The farm is forty-five miles from Santa Fe and Los Alamos, and one hour from Taos. The house covers 2000 square feet and includes excellent well water and gray water recycling.
Val Goldenbrook of Earthship Farm has been successfully buying and selling land throughout the United States. Earthships are self-contained, earth-protected buildings made from rammed tires and straw bales and arranged in a horseshoe shape. The windows on the sunniest side of the earth ship are the ones that adequately heat the underground house. The windows are prepared to capture the maximum heat in the winter months.
Electricity is obtained from renewable energy sources, such as solar cells or small windmills. The earth ship is capable of capturing rainwater from the roof and storing it, where it is reused for the kitchen and shower. Having a land ship with windows facing south is a good idea in northern hemisphere climates. These homes heat and cool themselves, harvest their own energy, collect their own sustainable water, and contain and treat their own wastewater on-site.
The Earthship Farm has the potential to make positive changes to people and the world’s environment. To learn more about Val Goldenbrook’s Earthship Farm, located in New Mexico, visit the website and use the contact page for more information. The farm is independent and is being sold for $470,000.
