About this property

Boulder's Only Earthship~ Handcrafted, Non-toxic, Indoor Garden, Artisan Home

Welcome to Boulder County's only Earthship! Nestled in the mountains in 4mile Canyon, just 20 minutes west of Downtown Boulder, this incredible living sanctuary is a the perfect zone to relax and immerse in sustainable, mountain living.
With indoor gardens, passive solar & earthen design, become one with the landscape as you fully relax into comfort & a peaceful state of mind.

***Our road up to the Earthship is a rugged, single lane, dirt road. You WILL NEED AWD/4x4 to get to the property from the months of October-May***

**Please Note: due to the nature of the Earthship and our indoor gardens, Pets are NOT permitted at the Earthship. Please find other accommodations for your animals! We will not be able to make any exceptions to this Rule. Thank you for understanding!**

Our handcrafted Earthship has been meticulously designed with local, natural materials as well as reclaimed materials. A fully sustainable cob home built into an earthen mountainside with towering views of Sugarloaf Mountain and the sprawling valley below.

Hundreds of acres of raw, mountain landscape are in perfect view outside the expansive, south-facing glass facade, lined with a gorgeous indoor garden that is home to exotic plants, herbs, and florals.

An incredibly dreamy home zone to dream, imagine, sip coffee and tea, cook your favorite meals with people you love, play in the mountains, get lost in the milky way and feel transported to another realm in real time.
We can accommodate up to 3 guests at this time, with one Queen bed in the primary bedroom, and one twin bed in our secondary sleeping loft.
We have one bathroom with a large shower, sink, and composting toilet.

We take an eco-friendly living concept very seriously at the Earthship- and most importantly in existing Fragrance Free! We never use any chemically-based products for cleaning, washing, cooking, etc. We appreciate and insist that guests follow these practices while staying at the Earthship, and also live Fragrance Free while staying here. We provide natural toiletries, soaps, lotions, etc for all of our guests to please use while staying here. Please do not bring any chemically based products with you!

Stay connected to the outside world with Starlink Internet- with great connectivity throughout the entire property.

The unique, handcrafted home is made to be one with the landscape surrounding it. With multiple indoor gardens, rainwater catchment system, glass facade, greywater recycling system, solar water heaters, rammed earth & earth cobb walls, all work harmoniously together to keep this home comfortable yard round, and the perfect temperature inside year round with its passive solar design. All with the creature comforts of a modern-style home. Included in our eco-friendly home is a composting toilet & not a water flushing toilet. For those who are not familiar with this concept, we provide easy instructions for use.
This is all inspired by the revolutionary work of Michael Reynolds, who developed the Earthship concept in Taos, New Mexico in the 1970s. This home is a tribute to his vision of sustainability, off-grid living, and eco-friendly way of life.

Our Earthship has been a well-loved rental for several years now, with hundreds of 5 Star reviews under our belt on other platforms. We are currently undergoing new management changes, which have brought us to create a new listing with our amazing new manager, Alexandra!
