Wyoming Off Grid Retreat With Public Access

One-of-a-Kind Off-Grid Earthship in the Laramie Peak Foothills

Bermed into a south-facing hillside above the Laramie Peak foothills in Platte County, this 1,343-tire Earthship is a rare fusion of off-grid engineering and handcrafted artistry. Built from stamped Earthship Biotecture plans to the published Global Design two-bedroom model, the home was owner-built with Earthship Biotecture crews on-site for every structural phase, from tire pounding to systems installation.

Step through the 66-foot greenhouse corridor into a home warmed entirely by passive solar gain and cooled by a buried geothermal air system, no fans required. Inside, hand-troweled plaster walls, peeled log vigas, bottle-glass inlays, and custom pine cabinetry with diamond inlays create an interior unlike anything else on the market, anchored by a 73-inch double slipper soaking tub with an air massage system.

The home runs on a genuinely 100% off-grid power system. A 2,180-watt solar array, wind turbine, and diesel generator backup. While a 1,658-square-foot metal roof catchment and four cisterns supply water, backed up by a permitted domestic well.

Set on 55.13± acres in the covenant-protected Laramie Peak Ranch subdivision, the property borders roughly 280 acres of BLM land and 635.7 acres of Wyoming State Land, public access practically out the back door. Whether you're drawn to the self-sufficiency, the craftsmanship, or the sweeping Wyoming views, this is a property built by someone who thought carefully about every system, and it shows.
