The Greater World Earthship Community is the world’s largest off-grid, legal subdivision. The community sits on 630 acres just 15 minutes northwest of Taos, New Mexico, USA.
The community is platted for 130 homes. Community members own their land, fee simple. There are approximately 60 homes in the community at the present time. Members own lots which vary in size from .75 acres to 3 acres. More than half of the total land is owned in common. This 347 acre “green belt” is never to be built upon.
The community is exclusively Earthship homes. There is a Board of Directors who enforce the Land User’s Code.
Annual dues for the community are currently $150 for road maintenance and the community improvement fund. Property taxes are assessed by Taos County.
