Owners list their 1,500‑sq‑ft tyre‑built Earthship in Wheatland, Wyoming for $625,000. Built in 2011 on 55.13‑acre plot near Laramie Peak, the two‑bedroom retreat sits on Bureau of Land Management land bordering 280 acres of public land. The home uses 1,343 pounded tyres and a 66‑ft greenhouse, and boasts a suite of off‑grid systems. The listing is co‑handled by Rowan Bennett of #1 Properties Ranch and Recreation and Holly Allison.
Bennett highlighted the house’s climate control, noting it stays between 62°F and 82°F regardless of Wyoming's extremes. The 1,500‑sq‑ft structure relies on a solar array, wind turbine, roof‑water catchment, passive geothermal cooling, a diesel generator and multiple backup systems, including propane for the hot‑water heater.
The property also offers future‑build potential, with a level pad pre‑plumbed for sewer, a stubbed water line across the road and space for a garage, second dwelling or pond. Bennett said the owners see the site as a retreat and consider adding yurts or a second home, pending approvals.
Sellers, who used the Earthship as a secondary residence, emphasize its sustainability credentials. The interior features hand‑trowelled plaster walls, bottle‑glass lighting, custom pine cabinetry and a claw‑foot soaking tub. Buyers are drawn to the unique blend of recycled materials and self‑sufficiency.
Viewings will begin next week, and an auction is slated for June 15, 2026, according to Bennett. Interest from eco‑investors and off‑grid enthusiasts is already high, with several buyers requesting detailed energy‑usage reports.
