Hey everyone in today's video we explore some pretty amazing homes that are fully self sustainable and totally off grid! These odd homes known as earth ships are becoming pretty popular in hotter area's, like New Mexico, Texas, Mexico, California and Arizona. These houses have solar panels, indoor gardens and natural springs of water all built into the property! So if you're interested in escaping the city life and being more self reliant then these earthship homes are for you!

actually-I tried to buy one in Colorado a few years ago and it was only $180k. No conventional loan would take it-and it came with 5 acres and a garage out building.
@DarthPoyner 18 күн бұрын
That really depends on what you get. Most of the ones listed are in Taos at the Earthship Biotecture subdivision. And they have been around for a LONG time. So paying on the cheap for these older models is not unheard of because they don't have many of the modern features that the more recent ones do. Now, if you price out building one of these things, you are looking at 300-500k for just standard 2-3 bedrooms. Plus you have to have at least a couple of acres properly situated to build it. They didn't really show the newer ones that are built out there. The thing you have to decide is, Are you willing to pay extra for the self sufficiency.

You can build a earth home for under 40,000 easily. It just won't get insured if it looks like one. I don't care. I need a home. I'm building one. I live in Oklahoma. Someone just donated 28 tons to help. Someone just sold me 8 tons of gravel to help also.

Plastic bottles and sandbags. 1,000 bags holds 50,000 pounds of sand. Rebar 10 ft oot is 10.75. barbwire, glass bottles, with windows doors.....it's affordable for me. Or a home where very warm right now or freezing in the winter. I choose to at least try. Seven churches offered to help. Not one showed. Not even houses for humanity. So ifa 65 old woman can... A 55 woman can. It will be an adventure. Either God doable. All things are possible for those that believe.

@@Marsha-yl8wl Ooo! I bet you can get volunteers to help pound tires if you find some blogs that do that sort! Also--It is a very wise investment in OK--tornados are no joke! Just make sure to add earthquake style reinforcement (criss-cross metal beams) in the walls. Most earthships don't include those and OK gets quakes.

Ive followed these projects for quite a few years and if there was ever a house that you built for living in for the rest of your life, these are them. So im really curious as to why so many are on the market. Unless its just because so many want to leave this country.
@rogermccaslin5963 Ай бұрын
Not only how many but how inexpensive they seem. I don't know the market but the ones in New Mexico seem cheap compared to what I would expect. Edit: I just looked it up. Vallecitos was listed for $825,000, reduced from $912,000. I'd say that's a slight difference from the video price of $88,000. Either the channel doesn't care about facts or is blatantly ignoring them.

Ask your city planner. Cities and those who profit from the grid do not like these homes/buildings because it means humans are more self sufficient. There's no money in that! Just imagine having no utility bills ever again! And never losing power just because of a storm or the grid going down. I've worked on these homes. They use far less water than other homes because they recycle the water so much. You can grow bananas and fig trees in your in-home greenhouse, right next to your kitchen. They are incredible!

Water is usually rainwater harvesting. The houses usually are set up to use the grey water for the greenhouse.
@jazzyg530 Ай бұрын
They have water catchment on the roof and recycle the water several times, meaning you have grey water in your toilets. But the water in sinks, shower and washing machine are fresh and filtered water. The garden cells in the greenhouse are used to filter water from sinks and then it goes out to a leach field in the front yard where you could grow fruit trees. The system is pretty amazing. Yes, the homes require some maintenance but they don't require heating or cooling from a power company or water from a well or city infrastructure. They have been very well thought out. They just continue to improve.

This Earth Ship idea is old hat, it was tried before and failed miserably, the people inside, instead of getting along fought constantly, also instead of staying in the so called Earth Ship, snuck out and went into the near by town, to purchase pizza and beer, they were caught and the entire venture was shut down. The only thing these types of endeavors create is money for the sponsors.
