When looking for sustainable living, it doesn't get much better than
this beautiful earthship on 20 acres in Alpine Ranches. This home has been carefully and consciously constructed with mostly local, natural and recycled materials. With the main living structure built using 900 used tires (packed with dirt and used for the footings and load-bearing walls) the home is not only a unique creation, it also provided an alternative use for materials that otherwise would've ended up in a landfill. A second studio added to the property is straw bale construction. Combining many available technologies for
sustainable building and living, this home offers the following:
• Passive solar heating
• 400-watt photo voltaic solar system
• Power inverter
• 4 storage batteries
• Passive solar water heater
• Roof rainwater harvesting collects water which passes through a three-level filtration
  system (with a separate fourth system that feeds drinking water faucets)
•  Grey water Filtration System waters two indoor planters
• Recycled glass bottles and aluminum cans used throughout
• Hand made recycled cabinets
• Flagstone interior and patio floors
• Rammed tire, straw bale and adobe construction
• Low VOC paint
• Straw bale shed with aluminum can and glass bottle ceiling
