One-of-a-Kind Income-Generating Retreat with Private Hot Spring & Solar Power in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Set under canopies of mature trees, with sweeping mountain views and a 108-degree natural hot spring, this walled-in one-acre oasis offers privacy, peace, and profitability. Just a stone’s throw from the heart of historic downtown Truth or Consequences, the land feels worlds away—alive with birdsong, dappled light, and the gentle rhythm of nature. Designed as a live-work haven, the property includes two thriving and beloved Airbnb guest spaces, 5-star reviews and Superhost status from nearly 1,000 delighted guests. A central fire pit encircled by trees creates a magical communal space for gathering under the stars. An art studio and workshop provide ample space for creativity, while shady porches and garden nooks invite slow mornings and deep restoration. Whether you’re seeking a contemplative retreat, a hosting venture, or a base for an eco-minded business, this property offers flexibility and proven income. There’s ample room for further development—additional overnight stays, hot spring soaking tubs, or a full-scale wellness retreat center. Life here is rooted, soulful, and rich with potential. Events like think tanks, concerts, yoga gatherings, and dance parties have filled the space with energy and purpose. For the right buyer, this is more than a property—it’s a platform for a visionary life. Summary of Assets This nearly one-acre oasis in the heart of Truth or Consequences’ historic bathhouse district is a rare fusion of natural beauty, sustainable infrastructure, and income-generating potential. At its core is a 108-degree natural hot mineral spring — one of the city’s original wells from 1910 — plumbed directly into the land’s private, fenced soaking area and even into one of the home’s bathrooms. The property is zoned to allow new structures on wheels (like tiny homes or RVs) to be added without building permits, making expansion both easy and legal. A 5-kilowatt solar energy system, housed in a sculptural papercrete dome, powers an underground utility grid originally designed for an RV park, with 20 plug-in points for water, sewer, and electricity — all solar-fed and ready to support future growth. Five underground irrigation systems nourish a landscape of mature shade trees, fruit trees, and medicinal plants. There are two thriving, income-generating rentals on site: a sustainable, artist-built dome with a 9-year Airbnb track record, and a converted 40’ rock star tour bus — both with Superhost status and glowing 5-star reviews. Their combined revenue has historically covered the cost of ownership and taxes. Additional features include a fully equipped art studio, two large furnished porches, a 1,200-square-foot main home with 2.5 bathrooms, and two shipping containers — one a stocked workshop, the other a flexible-use space. Designed for privacy and artistry, the property includes custom-built metal entry gates stabilized with an underground I-beam, a large fire pit ringed in lava rock and flagstone beneath a circle of trees, evening lighting powered by solar, and a 4-vehicle parking lot. Digital entry systems offer ease and security across all buildings. A commercial sign is in place, making it simple to step into business or build upon the vision already rooted here. This is more than a property — it’s a sanctuary of creative independence, regenerative design, and real earning potential.
    What the owner loves about this home
    This property is the subject of the book, The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living, by Wendy Tremayne Step into a dreamlike sanctuary—this remarkable commercial property is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. Featured in the award-winning book The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living by Wendy Tremayne (recipient of the Nautilus Book Award for Sustainability & Lifestyle), the property has earned national acclaim for its inspiring blend of self-reliance, creativity, and ecological design. The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living isn’t just a book — it’s the story of this very property, a living, breathing testament to the ideas within its pages. Winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Sustainability and Lifestyle, the book chronicles how this once-abandoned RV park in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico was transformed into an off-grid sanctuary rooted in creativity, resilience, and radical self-sufficiency. As Publishers Weekly wrote, it’s “an inspiring, intelligent manual for living off the grid,” and The New York Journal of Books praised it as “a how-to guide for anyone ready to give back to the Earth more than he or she takes.” For anyone drawn to regenerative living, hands-on experimentation, and beauty born from intention, owning this property means stepping into a story that has already inspired thousands — and becoming its next visionary steward
