Stunning geodesic dome home with 4 season sunroom and wrap around porch,unobstructed view of Pikes Peak, on 5 acres horse property. The home is solid, well constructed, light, airy, and the perfect family home.

On the 2nd floor is 774 sf, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and study. In the above ground basement of 993 sf is a wide open unfinished area for exercise, storage, workshop, etc. The basement connects to an attached 2 car garage. Attached to the main floor of the home is a beautiful custom 4 season sunroom for dining, relaxing, enjoying the views, surrounded on either side by decks and mature aspens and pines. The home is full of natural light, has 3 velux skylights and allows for excellent airflow with the open floor plan. The home has many unusual artistic touches, including shoji doors/closet in master, talavera custom sink in the main bath and plenty of closet and storage space. There is also a barn/outbuilding big enough for additional car or RV storage as well as an in-ground trampoline.
As a geodesic dome home, it is very energy efficient (natural gas forced air) with wood burning stove. The main floor is open to the upstairs as well as having an opening in the dining area to the landing, that allows for 2 floor efficient air/heat circulation with the overhead fan. There is extensive passive solar window exposure that allows for heat gain in the winter. The sunroom opens into the greatroom, providing significant additional passive solar gain in the winter, and can be kept cool in summer through windows and screens. The light in the home is awesome and is a plant lover's paradise. The house is on well water with the Denver aquifer (delicious), our location gets 300 days of sunshine a year, has lovely clean high country mountain air, and is at 7500 ft. altitude. There are minimal concerns with mold and mildew, due to an arid climate. The 5 acres are naturally landscaped around the house, with an aspen grove and beautiful mature pines.
