Triple Play: Three-Dome Home Rolls Onto the Market in Texas for $1.3M
Realtor.com
Dome homes occasionally bounce onto the market. Recently, we even came across a two-dome home. But what about a home with three domes? Whoa.
A 6,427-square-foot, triple-domed home in Bulverde, TX, has a trio of geodesic domes and is listed for $1.3 million.
The seller built the domed property over several years, after moving from another domed home in California.
The Texas home is two stories, and the central dome is 40 feet in diameter. It is flanked by two domes, each 30 feet in diameter and connected to the main dome by hallways.
“When you’re in the rooms with the domes, they actually echo, because sound bounces off the walls,” says listing agent Jennifer Romance-Deal, with Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper Realtors. “So if you’re in one part of the room, you could say something in a whisper, and you would be able to hear it on the [other] side.”

One of the smaller domes has a large primary suite, and the other smaller dome has a second suite, which includes a full kitchen and living area with a separate entrance.
The larger central dome holds the kitchen and living room.
Plus, “they’ve got another living area downstairs and a wet bar area, which is huge,” Romance-Deal says.
An elevator and spiral staircase go between the floors, and there is a show-stopping, 20-foot water feature at the entry.
“The waterfall is from the second floor and flows all the way down to the bottom, and on the other side of that waterfall is actually where the fireplace is,” Romance-Deal explains.
Patterned wood adorns many of the home’s surfaces. In fact, it took two truckloads of it to build the house, she says.

Each wing has a two-car garage, and one has a large space that’s currently outfitted as a crafts room.
Two rooms downstairs could be additional bedrooms. There are three full bathrooms and four half-bathrooms, some of which have enough room to be full bathrooms.
The home sits on 5 acres of flat land, with lots of trees and a detached guesthouse.
“In the living room and the kitchen upstairs, it’s like living in a treehouse—because you’re up in the trees,” Romance-Deal says of the home’s height.

She explains that the owner is selling this home to build a smaller (nondomed) one on the lot next door.
“He just loves building homes, and he’s good at it,” she says.
As far as the type of buyer this three-dome dwelling might attract, Romance-Deal acknowledges it will have to be a fan of unique architecture.
“It obviously is going to be someone that is looking for something that is different and loves the dome type of homes,” she says. “It’s an opportunity to live in something that someone else doesn’t have. People do enjoy that.”
