When looking for sustainable living, it doesn't get much better than
this beautiful earthship on 20 acres in Alpine Ranches. This home has been carefully and consciously constructed with mostly local, natural and recycled materials. With the main living structure built using 900 used tires (packed with dirt and used for the footings and load-bearing walls) the home is not only a unique creation, it also provided an alternative use for materials that otherwise would've ended up in a landfill. A second studio added to the property is straw bale construction. Combining many available technologies for
sustainable building and living, this home offers the following:
• Passive solar heating
• 400-watt photo voltaic solar system
• Power inverter
• 4 storage batteries
• Passive solar water heater
• Roof rainwater harvesting collects water which passes through a three-level filtration
  system (with a separate fourth system that feeds drinking water faucets)
•  Grey water Filtration System waters two indoor planters
• Recycled glass bottles and aluminum cans used throughout
• Hand made recycled cabinets
• Flagstone interior and patio floors
• Rammed tire, straw bale and adobe construction
• Low VOC paint

Short Sales and Bank Owned Foreclosures

There are more and more short sales and bank owned foreclosures in the Flagstaff Real Estate Market. A short sale is where the bank is willing to take less money than owed so the house will sell. In part this is because the home maybe worth less in today's market. We are also seeing more general foreclosures. Some people think foreclosure = good deal. Not always, be sure you check with your realtor and have them pull comprable sales to make sure its a good deal. Some are, some aren't. A lot of people took out bad loans and can afford the home and now have been foreclosed on. In most of these instances, they have not paid the principal down and some properties are worth less than in 2005. So what do banks do? A short sale is one way. Check with http://www.villagelandshoppe.com or 928-525-1125 to see what deals are going on and if something is a deal.
