The two-bedroom off-grid Earthship was built by its original owners in 2011 and sits on 55.13 acres in Wheatland, near the foothills of Laramie Peak.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>As per Realtor.com, the 1,500-square-foot home was designed around systems that allow it to operate off the grid. It has a solar array, wind turbine, roof water catchment system, passive geothermal cooling, a backup diesel generator and other backup systems. The property also includes a 66-foot greenhouse.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The unusual home borders 280 acres of Bureau of Land Management land and is located about an hour north of Cheyenne. <!-- -->Its construction uses 1,343 pounded tyres, while the interiors include hand-trowelled plaster walls, custom bottle-glass work and bottle lighting.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>One of the features highlighted by the listing agent is the home&#8217;s ability to maintain temperatures between 62 degrees and 82 degrees despite Wyoming&#8217;s conditions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>&#8220;One of the coolest things about the home is that it is at a higher elevation and able to sustain a temperature that never gets below 62 degrees in the winter and 82 degrees in the summer,&#8221; says Rowan Bennett, who is co-listing the property with Holly Allison of #1 Properties Ranch and Recreation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Home built as a retreat<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The sellers are the original owners and built the Earthship in 2011. According to Bennett, they have used it as a secondary residence and retreat rather than as their main home.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>&#8220;It has been used as a secondary residence by the sellers, who used it as a retreat. It would also be cool to use it as an investment property and put some yurts on the property,&#8221; she says.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Built with 1,343 pounded tyres, the home features plaster walls, bottle-glass work and bottle lighting.\" msid=\"134692904\" imgsize=\"136146\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"Built with 1,343 pounded tyres, the home features plaster walls, bottle-glass work and bottle lighting.\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-136146,msid-134692904\/built-with-1343-pounded-tyres-the-home-features-plaster-walls-bottle-glass-work-and-bottle-lighting.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Built with 1,343 pounded tyres, the home features plaster walls, bottle-glass work and bottle lighting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The property is designed to provide several independent systems rather than depending on just one source for its needs. <!-- -->It has solar power, a wind turbine and a backup diesel generator. A roof water catchment system is also part of the home.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The systems have backups as well. Bennett said this was another feature that made the property unusual. &#8220;What is also unique is that every system has a backup operation, so if the hot water heater goes out, there is a propane backup,&#8221; she says.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The home also has a permitted domestic well. Outbuildings on the property provide additional storage space.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Tyres and bottle glass use<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>The Earthship&#8217;s walls and design are among its most distinctive features. The residence was built using 1,343 pounded tyres, while bottle-glass work has been incorporated into parts of the home.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Inside, the 1,500-square-foot residence has hand-trowelled plaster walls, custom bottle lighting and a built-in bed. It also has flagstone and crushed-shell brick floors, peeled log vigas across the ceilings, and glass doors and walls.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>The kitchen has custom pine cabinetry with hand-carved diamond inlays. It also features tile countertops and a decorative tile backsplash. The kitchen appliances include a Sun Frost energy-efficient refrigerator and a countertop ice maker. The bathroom has a claw-foot soaking tub and a shower combination with an air massage system.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>The home is not only built for off-grid living but also includes space and infrastructure for possible future additions. A level building pad on the property has already been plumbed for sewer and is waiting for a future garage or second dwelling, subject to applicable approvals. Water utility has also been stubbed across the road. The space is ready for a possible future pond or garden.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/in-2011-a-wyoming-couple-built-a-1500-sq-ft-off-grid-home-from-1343-tyres-on-55-acres-adding-a-66-foot-greenhouse-solar-panels-and-rainwater-systems-15-years-later-the-unusual-earthship-is-listed-for-625000\/articleshow\/134690036.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unusual home borders 280 acres of Bureau of Land Management land and is located about an hour north of Cheyenne A home in Wyoming built from 1,343 pounded tyres is now on the market for $625,000.
