About

Greater World is the first and largest legal off-grid Earthship subdivision, on rolling mesa in Taos County about 14 miles northwest of Taos, just west of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge along NM Highway 64. The roughly 633-acre subdivision is platted for 130 fee-simple lots of about 0.75 to 3 acres, with homes relying entirely on solar and wind power, rainwater catchment, and on-site waste treatment. More than half the land is a protected common green belt, and the property owners' association maintains the roads.
