San Juan Retreat (Colorado)

Located on 4.19 acres at 8000 feet in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado is an Earth-Sheltered Concrete structure built for the long haul. Green built to save energy, but built super strong for protection against almost any man-made or natural disaster including the possibility of a TEOTWAWKI event!

The main house is a 50'x 86' elongated dome with 6 to 8 inches of 12,000 psi shotcrete (air placed concrete) and miles of steel re-bar form the shell of this structure. Through a 6' x 30' tunnel is an attached garage/workshop area which is 24' x 66' and is a second floor level entry. An additional 24' x 36' out building could be used for shop, storage, barn, or possibly as a caretakers quarters. 'This extremely strong building has a published life span of a few hundred years by FormWorks Building of Durango, Colorado... but is more likely to still be standing in a thousand years! It has the ability to support a large family or a similar sized group.

Yazoo Retreat, Mississippi

This topographically diverse 209 acres has two houses, a spring fed pond, fertile meadows (currently deer food plots), and completely wooded hills.

Served by an all weather road, behind a heavy wrought iron gate, with no structures visible, this parcel functions very well as a retreat or a primary residence. The overseer's cabin is immediately habitable. The five thousand square foot earth covered home has not been occupied in over eight years. The three car garage is still in use for storage, but due to root growth through the waterproofing, resealing and mold removal would be necessary for safe and comfortable occupancy.

The subject is approximately 40 miles west of the Nissan plant and less than two hours' drive to Jackson, Vicksburg and several cities in Louisiana.
