What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
Live securely off the grid in this incredible monolithic tri-dome home powered by a hybrid wind and photovoltaic system with back-up diesel generator. Grow food in the additional 26’ diameter geodesic dome greenhouse. Set on your choice of 5.5, 10.75 or 16 acres with panoramic mountain views. The home is designed to be safe for both electromagnetically and chemically sensitive people. This is a 1 owner home.
Monolithic Domes are constructed following a method that requires a tough, inflatable Airform, steel-reinforced concrete and a polyurethane foam insulation. Each of these ingredients is used in a technologically specific way. Monolithic Domes meet FEMA standards for providing NEAR-ABSOLUTE PROTECTION and have a proven ability to survive tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, most manmade disasters, fire, termites and rot. They are cost-efficient, earth-friendly, extremely durable and easily maintained. Most importantly, a Monolithic Dome uses about 50% less energy for heating and cooling than a same-size, conventionally constructed building.
Built in 2003 the home is a combination of three monolithic domes with 3400sf of living space. The main floor has 3 bedrooms plus an additional room for bedroom, den, or office, an entry foyer, and two full baths. A large loft has a 4th bedroom & walk-in closet & ½ bath. There is an attached oversized 1,300sf 2 car garage & workshop with ¾ bath. There is a detached 314sf dome used as a utility room and well house, and a 26’ diameter 530sf geodesic dome greenhouse. Below grade are two connected domes for 728sf of storage/emergency shelter with ¾ bath. Other structures on the property include an 8x8 storage shed and a 24’x32’ detached carport storage area.
