A dome home compound in Scottsdale, AZ, with all the elegant accouterments of a more conventional luxury estate, is available for the first time. The geodesic delight is listed for a lofty $3.75 million.

More than a simple dome home, this six-bedroom desert dwelling could be better described as a dome mansion. It offers 9,576 square feet of living space and sits on just over 5 acres of lovely desert landscape, with dramatic mountain views.

The distinctive main house was designed by the architect Wayne Young in 2000. Its unique aluminum panels were constructed by the company that worked on what is perhaps the world’s most prominent geodesic dome: the one at Disney World’s Epcot Center in Orlando, FL.

The domes themselves and the shells over them were built specifically to allow light to flow in between the panels.

The main residence spans three stories, with a main-level great room complete with living and dining room areas. It  flow seamlessly into a kitchen with professional Viking appliances, a large central dining island, and a sunny, built-in breakfast nook.

There are also bedrooms in the guest wing with walk-in closets and en suite bathrooms on the main level.

The master suite spans the entire top floor and includes a private office with amazing views.

The lower level incluldes another unique aspect of this luxurious residence: a round family room with a walkout basement, wine storage, and a kitchenette.

Half the family room serves as a spacious media room, with a large, drop-down screen.

The other half could be used as a gym, game room, or whatever suits a new owner, and gives onto an attractive sunken patio is off the lower level.

In 2010, a guesthouse was added to the property. Designed by architect James Hann, it’s been featured in a number of magazines, including Green Living, Arizona Residential Architects, and Phoenix Home & Garden.

The guest quarters features two full bedrooms, a kitchen, a great room, and a private patio.

The property, in the middle of an extremely arid area, includes a circular swimming pool and spa, a covered dining area, and a well-positioned fire pit.

Natural highlights include mature saguaros and other indigenous plants, plus all sorts of desert wildlife hopping, flying, crawling, and scampering about the grounds.

The entire compound was built with ecological sensitivity in mind. Water conservation systems have been employed, and solar panels are visible throughout the property.

Courtney Woods Olson of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International has the listing.
