A unique dome home just outside Orlando has hit the market for the first time in more than three decades.
Located at 1160 N. Old Mill Drive in Deltona, the geodesic dome home was built in 1991 and has had just one owner since. It’s been customized with extra entertainment-forward amenities and an outdoor sculpture garden designed by the owner to resemble Orlando’s own Harry P. Leu Gardens, according to the listing.
It comes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms across a total 2,655 square feet, plus a sizable backyard and a detached garage and shed all situated on a hilltop. Inside, one of the bedrooms has been converted into an in-home movie theater complete with theater-style seating and lighting.
Outside, the property includes a screened patio, hot tub, gazebo and fountain, in addition to the several sculptures and art pieces throughout.
The home’s steel mesh-reinforced concrete exterior offers protection against harsh weather conditions and natural disasters, including Florida hurricanes.
Geodesic dome homes have become increasingly popular not only because of their rare shape, but because they’re virtually weather- and natural disaster-proof. They’re often designed with extreme weather like flooding and hurricanes in mind and built with fireproof materials. And with the increasingly concerning effects of climate change on the rise, more and more people are looking for a dome home.
