  "account": "A Wyoming couple constructed an off-grid Earthship home using 1,343 recycled tires in 2011. The 1,500-square-foot two-bedroom property is now listed for $625,000, situated on 55.13 acres near Laramie Peak in Wheatland. The Earthship features off-grid systems such as solar power, wind energy, a water catchment system, and a backup diesel generator. Its distinctive design incorporates 1,343 tires, hand-trowelled plaster walls, bottle lighting, and a 66-foot greenhouse. The house maintains temperatures between 62 and 82 degrees, regardless of Wyoming's climate. The sellers, the original owners, use the home as a retreat and secondary residence. The property includes a permitted domestic well and outbuildings for storage. The Earthship's construction features include flagstone floors, peeled log vigas, and glass doors and walls. Future additions like a garage or second dwelling are possible on the property, which also has water utility infrastructure.",
