This 1986 Dome Home in Idyllwild, California is one of the nicest I've seen so far. It's already under contract. 3bds, 2ba, $595K.
Very well built, it doesn't have any crazy foam walls or weird angles.
Isn't it nice? I like the loft and the spiral stairs aren't crazy, either.
Lovely window.
Next to the stairs is a dining corner.
Neat kitchen under the loft.
Look at the interesting doorway to the bedroom.
Nice primary bedroom with a vaulted ceiling.
The secondary bedroom is a good size, too.
Two room bath with a lovely arched doorway and a double vanity.
There's a sitting area/flex space in the loft, plus a bathroom.
Bonus- a cute little guest house.
It has a comfortable living room.
And, this is a very nice sunny room.
Deck on the back of the main house. It's such a neat little home.
I can't really see it from here, b/c it's too small, but it looks like a wooden figure.
The lot size is .93 acre.
And, there's a beautiful mountain view.

Round House Magic in the Mountains! He built a Wooden Yurt from a Kit
Meet Eric, an engineer living in a wooden yurt on his own land. It's about 500 square feet / 46 sqm. He considered many alternative small homes & tiny house options after deciding to leave the big city for mountain life. Ultimately, he found Smiling Wood Yurt kits and an affordable tiny lot in the middle of a small town--an ideal combo to create his dream home base for mountain adventures.
There's an incredible soothing & uplifting feel of a round home!

This is different- I’ve never seen a shingled dome home, and look at how it’s angled in the back, like it’s a space ship that just landed or is ready to take off. This one’s in Somonauk, Illinois ($599K)
I would call it more of a space ship home- “rustic space ship.”
Or, from the top, the Boob House?
I like how they painted the upper walls, not leaving them white- it’s kind of a sunny color.
The curved wood is very nice, but unusual, b/c it doesn’t cover the whole area. I guess it’s b/c they built walls.
Very nice floor plan.
The kitchen is huge, and look at the nice dining room right off it.
Love the bonus space up in the lofted area.
It’s a pretty big house with 4 bdms and 5 baths. Notice how this one curves.
The main bdm is very large and all the rooms have wonderful angles and curves.
One of the 5 baths.
So many cool features. Might have to put something around this hole, though, for little kids and pets.
Even has a family room.
I like this- it’s open, but not fully open.
Big property, but that’s some long driveway. I really like the way this house is laid out.

I want to watch Mice & Murder but it's a zoom one, which would be fine, except from the looks of it, Brennan is recording in the dome all alone and it makes me SO SAD, he looks so small and lonely help!
Like yes they're all at home and alone but I'm thinking of all the empty chairs and I just can't. You're lonelier in a place where there's supposed to be people okay?

Dome Sweet Dome
Don't forget there is also a video that shows you the entirety of this very unique location!!
https://youtu.be/kuhg83VrQb4
And finally in today's post we will be taking a look at the second floor, the outbuildings as well as a few close-up photos of this unique location!
In this week's post we will be exploring a geodesic dome house that has been sitting abandoned for about 10 years.
The first geodesic dome was designed after World War I by Walter Bauersfield who was the chief engineer at Carl Zeiss Jena, to build a planetarium. But in 1946 Richard Buckminster Fuller coined the term "geodesic". Using triangular shapes it is an extremely strong, light and efficient way of enclosing space.
Geodesic domes have mostly been created for specialised uses such as the 21 Distant Early Warning Line domes built in Canada in 1956. While most of those domes are now gone or destroyed the design can still be seen today in more well known places such as Spaceship Earth at Epcot built in 1982, Science World in Vancouver built for Expo '86, The Climatron greenhouse at Missouri Botanical Gardens built in 1960 or even the Montreal Biosphere built for Expo '67.
Dome homes have been less successful than their commercial counterparts mostly because of their complexity and greater construction costs. In 1986, a patent for a dome construction technique involving polystyrene triangles laminated to reinforced concrete on the outside, and wallboard on the inside was awarded to American Ingenuity of Rockledge, Florida. This technique allowed homes to be prefabricated and assembled from a kit purchased by a homeowner. It appears as though this particular dome used a similar technique.
Although using geodesic domes for houses never really took off, they seem to have had a bit of a resurgence in popularity when it comes to vacation homes in areas of great natural beauty. These structures are built more like tents and often have large swathes of windows for extraordinary views of the surrounding landscapes.
