Set among the Joshua Trees on more than two acres in coveted Upper Friendly Hills, this Buckminster Fuller inspired structure feels both iconic and deeply at home in the landscape. Designed to capture shifting desert light and frame the vast sky above, the dome's exposed wooden hexagonal structure and abundant skylights create an atmosphere that feels both luminous and intimate. Inside, soaring ceilings and sculptural geometry open to expansive views of the surrounding mountains and high desert horizon. The main level is anchored by warm bamboo flooring and a bright, open plan that moves easily between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a calm modern interior that still feels unmistakably Joshua Tree. A striking geometric wood architectural detail serves as a sculptural focal point, quietly nodding to the handcrafted spirit of experimental desert houses from the 1970s and grounding the volume of the space with warmth and texture.A spiral staircase rises to the lofted second level, where the primary suite unfolds as a quiet retreat with a generous bedroom, ample closets, and an en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms, each framed by distinctive triangular windows, overlook the surrounding grounds and echo the home's expressive geometry. A modern shared bath with designer tile and dual sinks, along with a flexible bonus room ideal for a studio, media lounge, or guest overflow, extend the home's airy and adaptable layout. Outdoors, a wraparound deck invites long al fresco evenings beneath the open desert sky, complemented by a propane fire pit and a hot tub perfectly positioned for stargazing. Thoughtful upgrades, including a newer roof, updated windows and sliding doors, a refreshed AC condenser, renovated baths, and a newer hot water heater, bring ease and reliability to this architecturally distinctive property.Whether imagined as a serene full time retreat or a one of a kind vacation escape, this remarkable desert dome offers the rare opportunity to live inside a true work of art.
