‘Earthship’ in Colorado fascinates in TikTok video

The name “earthship” can be a little deceiving if you’re thinking about it in a sci-fi type of way. While it may sound like a bizarre plot point from a Ridley Scott movie, what it actually is is pretty cool all on its own.

It’s a “passive solar home made of natural and recycled materials,” Environment-Ecology.com says, and this particular one on the Colorado Springs real estate market for $730,000 has bewitched the TikTok universe.

The popular HousesThatAreCool account did a TikTok video on the two-bedroom, one-bathroom “green friendly” house which is surrounded by Colorado beauty, and needless to say folks were fascinated.

“If only I was rich,” one person commented.

“Dream home,” another said.

“This is so cool,” someone said.

The inside is not only as captivating as the exterior, but it’s also a spacious 2,940-square-feet complete with an indoor pond.

Other features include:

The bedrooms are also pretty impressive.

“Huge primary suite with walk-out to side yard, built-in planters, seating area, walk-in closet,” the listing on Realtor.com says. “Awesome guest room with built-in privacy planter wall and hidden Murphy bed.”

Colorado Springs is about 70 miles south of Denver.
