Desert ‘Earthship’ home straight out of ‘Star Wars’ can be yours for $360K

You can now experience “Star Wars” living in this galaxy.

Seemingly straight out of Tatooine, the fictional desert planet, a real-life earthship house in the Greater World Earthship Community has hit the market for a reasonable $360,000.

Situated on three acres of land, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom, 1,400-square-foot home is located in El Prado, New Mexico.

“As a realtor, I have sold many earthships over the past seven years, but I have also lived in my own for 17 years,” Alicia Bomhoff — who holds the listing with Taos Sage Real Estate — told The Post.

“Most houses you have to take care of, but an earthship takes care of you.”

With panoramic mountain views, the abode is completely off the grid, allowing its occupants to ditch the high utility bills.

The house runs on 1.5 kilowatts supplied by solar panels with batteries.

There is also passive solar heating with a small wood stove and gas heater for backup, the listing notes.

Water is supplied by a catchment system off the roof held in a 5,000-gallon cistern.

Features include custom tile mosaics and cabinets.

The home also comes with a matching bespoke kitchen island on wheels, a built-in dining room table and a built-in bedroom headboard.

Planters in the living and bedroom areas grow tomatoes, geraniums, bougainvillea, rosemary and ivy.

“Walk the recently constructed stone labyrinth at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains or it’s a quick bike ride or walk to the Gorge Bridge hiking trails,” the listing states, adding that residents can also “take the back roads to the hot springs.”

The listing notes that the unconventional home has been used successfully as an Airbnb.

“Experience the peace and quiet of living sustainably with nature,” the description reads.

“Earthships are homes that are in harmony with nature,” Bomhoff explained to The Post. “The roof is a giant teacup that catches 5,000 gallons of water, which flows from the sinks and shower into the greenhouses to water the plants so you don’t have to, a permaculture concept.”

She added: “The electricity is from the sun (1.5 kilowatts of solar panels), as is the majority of heat for the home. This is not only satisfying, but it means there are no monthly water, heat or electricity bills.”

The home is located in a community that boasts more than 300 acres of shared land surrounded by other earthship homes. It is fully off the grid, using solar and wind power exclusively.

Most of the earthships are single-story structures — long and narrow, with one side generally built into a hill and the other side constructed of glass. Plants often occupy the space between the two walls.
