This dome home for sale in California is built right into the hills. Take a look
A two-story delightful property that has hit the real estate market in Topanga, California, and is unique in almost every way possible — from its location to resistance to almost every natural disaster possible. And it’s available for $1.599 million.
The three-bedroom, three-bath home, which was built this year, has an abundance of special features, including the fact that it was built right into the rolling hills of Southern California. This fact manages to set the 2,728-square-foot eco-friendly home apart from other green places in the area.
Features in the home include:
Primary bedroom with a fireplace and balcony
Theater room
Views galore
Outside that’s hydro-seeded with fruit trees
But the biggest draw of the property is that’s it’s highly resistant to fires, floods and, importantly, earthquakes. The Golden State is normally hit with two or three earthquakes a year big enough to cause “moderate damage to structures,” the California Department of Conservation says.
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, the soil that shields the roof of the home, along with its three sides, acts as a natural insulator.
“According to the builder, the interior hovers around 75 degrees regardless of the weather outside, cutting heating and cooling costs by around 80%,” the Los Angeles Times reported. “There’s less need for maintenance as well, since only one side is exposed to the elements.”
The listing is held by Bruce Leibovitch of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.
