Step into the opportunity of a lifetime with this unique, unfinished dome home tucked away in the peaceful countryside just steps from the stunning City of Rocks National Reserve. Designed as a fully self-sufficient homestead, this property offers the chance to complete a one-of-a-kind dream project that’s already well underway.
Property Highlights:
All Major Infrastructure In Place: Concrete pads are poured, in-floor plumbing is set, and power is already run to the property. A high-capacity well ensures reliable water year-round. Fiber Optic internet line and box installed near the well.
Eco-Conscious Living: Included in the plans is a winter greenhouse for year-round growing, and the entire layout of five domes is built with off-grid, sustainable living in mind.

Smart Design: The home is envisioned to feature a spacious main living dome with a 12x20x32 feet Sun Room, a pantry/utility dome connector, a large two-car garage, and the greenhouse—all integrated into a cohesive, modern off-grid compound. All five domes are facing a southern sun exposure. The domes are situated to obtain maximum sunlight during the winter months. Was designed as a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home. When completed with the earth covering, the domes will maintain comfortable temperatures.

What the owner loves about this home
This earth sheltered home has been a lifetime dream for my husband and I. We love the location and being able to have the best view of the Almo Valley, Smoky Mountain and watching the Hawks and Crows gliding in the calm wind currents at eye level and not having to look up to watch them. A wonderful walk from the domes takes us to the City of Rocks National Reserve. We love the idea of having 65 degrees year around temperature in the domes and the help of the Southern Sun adding great warmth in the winter naturally. My husband's health has deteriorated and is unable to continue to work on the project. We would love to share our dream with someone who can see our vision and move forward to complete the project we started.
