This Colorado ‘earth home’ is engineered to stay 65 degrees year-round – and it’s for sale
Looking for a house that delivers big on peace and privacy? A stunning ‘earth home’ that’s for sale in Black Forest, Colorado might be worth checking out. As popular social media account Zillow Gone Wild said, “this is without a doubt the best earth home we’ve ever seen.”
Sitting on nearly seven acres, the home’s construction included the use of 1,500 recycled tires, mud, aluminum cans, and glass bottles, catering to a design with a focus on sustainability, artistry, and luxury. The home’s unconventional build doesn’t just impact how it looks, either – it’s engineered to stay roughly 65 degrees year-round and designed for energy efficiency via both passive and active solar energy, a stucco exterior, slanted windows that line the front of the home, multiple skylights, and a RPDM rubber membrane roof.
Per a real estate listing, the home is also ideal for those with horses. Not only does the acreage provide plenty of space, it comes with a barn that houses two to three stalls with space left over for hay storage. Also on the property is a heated tack shed with water, a fenced-in area for dogs, multiple patios, a pergola, and a pond.

With four bedrooms, three baths, and 4,461 square feet of living space, the inside of the home features custom mosaic art, a kiva fire place, built-in seating, and plenty of nooks. Find another kiva fireplace in the primary suite, which also comes with dual closets and a walk-out patio.

“A truly irreplaceable work of art and engineering, this Black Forest earth home offers an unmatched opportunity to own one of Colorado’s most unique luxury properties,” reads the home’s listing on Zillow.
At a price of $1,299,900, the home is listed by Jennifer Browne with eXp Realty and The Fletcher Team and Associates.
