Earthship to feature on Nicaragua real estate tour

Brooke Rundle pointed out a new You Tube video on the Nicaraguan Earthship:

The Earthship will be featured on our Green Real Estate tours planned for later this year.  We’re going to focus exclusively on environmentally conscious and socially responsible real estate developments.

Tour participants will get an inside track on everything from sustainable housing communities constructed of all recycled materials to off-grid hacienda style home lots.

Nicaragua real estate: The buzz about the Nicaraguan Earthship is building

We’ve been keeping a daily blog on the construction of a house made out of tires which cools itself passively, creates its own power and harvests its own water.   Known as an “Earthship” the house design was conceived by architect Mike Reynolds from Earthship Biotecture, in Taos, New Mexico.

Ever since the construction team arrived in Nicaragua and teamed up with the local community of El Carizal to begin the building, the buzz has been growing:

• Steve over in Newcastle, England updated his readers about the Nicaraguan Earthship
• Closer to home, MyBootsnMe visited the site and took a couple of great shots
• La Prensa, Nicaragua’s daily national newspaper wrote an article about a house made out of a thousand tires and thousands more bottles and cans (Spanish)
• And Dave Kniffen from Casa Llanta reflected on the vision behind the Nicaraguan Earthship initiative in a thoughtful article written on Day 16 of the construction.

There’s also a You Tube video for those who want to see a day by day demonstration.

We are proud to market this Earthship community to our network.  The location is great (only 15 minutes south of San Juan del Sur), the logic of green building can’t be faulted, and the construction quality is top class.  

Download the floor plan from our property listing, spread the word, contact us for more information, and help kick start what could be the beginning of a green movement in Nicaragua real estate.

Your Next Decision

If you’re buying a property in Nicaragua then you’ll have a few decisions to make before you relax on your Nica-style rocking chair in your new property.

Your next decision? Well it’s the question that divides the nation. Would you like a Tona or Victoria beer?

I bet you’re looking forward to tasting them both. In the meantime there’s no doubting that Tona sells Nicaragua almost as well as it sells its own brand.
