About this property

An evolving Earthship artist retreat. Be the first to stay and shape its story!


A 1990s split-level Earthship — one of the early experimental models — now becoming a future artist retreat. Casa Mesa is raw, imperfect, and absolutely real. Think off-grid glamping inside a piece of architecture, not hotel living. Be among the first to stay and witness its transformation.

Inside, you’ll find a simple studio layout: a Murphy bed, a functional bathroom with a bathtub, passive-solar warmth supported by a wood stove, and minimal furnishings while renovations are still underway.

Systems you can count on:
• Brand-new solar batteries, inverter & controller
• Fresh-water pump and pressure tank recently replaced
• Four EcoFlow backup batteries for additional electricity on cloudy days or heavy-usage moments
• Upstairs refrigerator available for light use

What is still rustic or imperfect:
• Greywater system has issues
• A power monitor is not yet installed — guests cannot see remaining charge
• Décor is minimal and artistic elements are still being built
• Comfort level varies with weather, energy use, and fire-wood availability

This stay is for travelers who want experience — not luxury.
It is glamping meets Earthship architecture: quiet desert nights, sunrise through passive solar glass, long bathtubs, wood heat 360 mountain views, and a feeling of living with the land rather than above it.

If you appreciate nature, experimentation, and being part of a place before it becomes “finished,” Casa Mesa will feel like a story you get to step into.

Transparent pricing: Our nightly rate includes all fees. No hidden or surprise charges.
