Summary:
From the hot tub at Hawkeye Dome, 112 acres of private hills go quiet as the last light leaves the Mojave. Your mornings are laps in the 40-ft pool, watching through its underwater windows, then miles of on-site trails; nights belong to the fire pit and the see-through cabin built for stargazing. The geodesic home from the cover of Dwell magazine is 8 minutes from Old Town Yucca Valley, and yes, it was originally built by nudist physicists.
The Space:
Hawkeye Dome is a geodesic home high above Yucca Valley, set against 112 acres of private hills and featured on the cover of Dwell magazine. Oversized windows frame the Mojave from early dawn to starry night, while concrete floors, a spiral staircase and designer furnishings soften the dome's crisp geometry. The house runs off-grid on an 11 kW solar array with battery backup, a 400-ft well and propane backup, with all the comforts of home. It suits couples and small groups who want architecture, open land and big views.

-Outdoor Amenities-
Swim laps in the 40-ft pool and look through its underwater viewing windows, then settle into the hot tub as quiet falls over 112 acres. Miles of rustic trails and an observation deck give front-row seats to every sunset and starry sky. The see-through cabin is an observation deck and stargazing spot, not an extra bedroom. A BBQ and midcentury fire pit extend living outdoors into the evening.
Due to county regulations, the pool area is fenced. Two low-profile safety fences have been installed near the pool, so the views may look slightly different from some older listing photos. The pool remains fully accessible and usable.
-Living Area-
Inside, the dome's geometry is the star: oversized windows, concrete floors, a spiral staircase and designer furnishings that keep the space warm and livable. Watch the light change across the Mojave from inside, or step out to the observation deck. Everything runs on the home's own solar, well and propane systems.
-Kitchen and Dining-
The kitchen has what you need to cook at home, and the BBQ makes it easy to take dinner outside and eat with the hills in view. Old Town Yucca Valley's cafés are eight minutes away for mornings when you would rather go out.
-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-
Hawkeye Dome has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and one bathroom. The home has a spiral staircase, so guests will need to climb stairs.
-Surrounding Area-
Hawkeye Dome is in the Town of Yucca Valley, eight minutes from the cafés, galleries, antiques and coffee shops of Old Town. Joshua Tree National Park and Pioneertown are each about 15 minutes away, for hiking, climbing and live music. On the property itself, head south up the hill or out to the west for the most scenic trails and views.
