Geodesic dome with pool and hot tub
A geodesic dome on a private hillside with a 40-ft lap pool, hot tub, and fire pit
Stunning views and attentive hosts
Guests highlight the panoramic desert views, peaceful privacy, and responsive hosting from Sam
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.
-Highlights-
► 40-ft lap pool with underwater viewing windows (a heating fee applies in cooler months)
► Hot tub
► 112 acres of private hills with miles of on-site trails
► See-through cabin for stargazing, sunsets and meditation
► Observation deck
► BBQ and midcentury fire pit
► Iconic geodesic architecture, featured on the cover of Dwell magazine
► Spiral staircase and designer furnishings
► Off-grid power: 11 kW solar array with battery backup, 400-ft well and propane backup
-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.
Guest access
The entire house and property are yours to enjoy!
As a rule of thumb, feel free to roam anywhere you don't see fences, homes or clearly private spots. For the best views and easiest trails, head south up the hill or west, where you'll find the most scenic hiking. Along the way, you might cross paths with fellow explorers or friendly neighbors.
Other things to note
-Pool Safety Fence-
Please note that due to county regulations, the pool area is fenced off. Two low-profile safety fences have been installed near the pool, so the views may appear slightly different from some listing photos upon arrival. The pool remains fully accessible and usable.
-Pool Heating Fee-
Should you wish to have the pool heated to 85 degrees, please notify us in advance of your arrival, as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area. If you'd like the pool heated for multiple days, we ask that days be consecutive to conserve energy, thank you! Pool heating is not usually necessary May through September. Please note that we will need at least 24 hours' notice to heat the pool.
► $200 per night
During the winter months, please be aware that colder outdoor temperatures may cause the pool to feel cooler than its maintained temperature of 85°F. We kindly ask that you ensure this temperature meets your comfort level before submitting a request, as refunds cannot be issued on this basis.
-Pool and Hot Tub Service-
The pool and hot tub are serviced Mondays and Thursdays, approximately between 9am and 4pm. Please note that these times are estimates and may change slightly due to our technician's busy schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard.

-Wildlife & Safety-
The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.
