Live Inside a Sculpture: The Most Beautiful House in America (Parade Magazine)
Welcome to The Dreaming Dome, an unforgettable dome home that feels more like living inside a sculpture than a typical house. Featured in Parade Magazine as "The Most Beautiful House in America," this monolithic dome is full of flowing organic lines, 35-foot ceilings, and whimsical curves that make every moment indoors feel like part of an art installation. Its perched on six private acres just outside Taos, about 20 minutes from downtown, just 10 minutes from Taos Regional Airport, and only 30 minutes from the lifts at Taos Ski Valley-perfect for both quiet getaways and quick adventures.
The inside is a visual wonderland. Curved adobe-style walls are hand-finished in rich earth tones, blending into mosaic paths, tree-trunk columns, built-in nooks, and sculpted staircases. Natural light floods through circular skylights and arched windows, casting shadows across indoor gardens and hand-painted murals. The home opens with an expansive living room featuring plush leather seating, two recliners, a 55" smart TV, and a large wood-burning fireplace. Look up; the painted sky ceiling gives the whole space a dreamy, open feel.
The kitchen stands out in both style and function. Turquoise floors, wood beam ceilings, and soft green cabinets set the tone, while stainless steel appliances, double sinks, granite countertops, and a central island with bar seating make prep and share meals easy. The adjacent dining area comfortably fits four and offers another charming gathering space.
There are three bedrooms, each with its personality. Upstairs, the primary suite has a queen bed, a ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, and a fireplace. A private deck off this room leads to a hot tub with a wide-open view of the Rio Grande Gorge and surrounding peaks. One of the main-level bedrooms has a standard queen setup with a large closet and desk. The third bedroom is bright and colorful with a high-end red pull-out sofa, whimsical art, a desk, and its own private bathroom. Altogether, there are three full bathrooms with walk-in showers and one extra half-bath for guests.
Outside, the property is all about views and space. Adirondack chairs are set up for sunrise coffee or sunset wine, and there's a patio with leather porch chairs and a BBQ grill. About two acres are fenced in, making the space ideal for well-behaved dogs (sorry, no cats), and a convenient double-doggie-door setup near the kitchen makes it easy for furry companions to roam.
Utilities are included.
Smart TVs with streaming services.
Neighborhood overview
This house is on 5 acres of pristine views of the Gorge in El Prado, just north of Taos, set on a large, partly open lot surrounded by trees, desert shrubs and distant mountain views. It sits in a quiet residential area with a rural feel but still within easy drive of shops and dining in Taos. The area is laid-back, with wide roads, light traffic, and a southwestern vibe.
Owner pays for Septic, trash, electric. Tenant pays propane and Internet. Water is included from our 900 foot well. It's tasty. One year lease, dog and people friendly and we are negotiable.
