A rare, virtually natural disaster-proof dome home is on the market in Central Florida.
The home, located at 624 Volco Road in Edgewater, comes with three bedrooms and two baths and spans 2,484 square feet.
It first hit the market last year, for $620,000. Now, the price has dipped down to $553,000.
With its steel mesh-reinforced non-combustible concrete exterior, the home was built to withstand hurricanes and remain resistant to rust, rot, mold and pests, per the listing.
With just under an acre of land, the energy-efficient home has 24-foot ceilings, concrete flooring and skylights throughout. The primary bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and balcony overlooking the nearby lake.
Outside, there’s a detached garage and a workshop with space to store a boat or trailers.
Geodesic dome homes are often designed with extreme weather like flooding and hurricanes in mind and built with fire-proof materials. In hurricane damage-susceptible Florida, that’s no small feat.
The listing agent is Michael Beck with Weichert Realtors Hallmark.
