The owners enlisted some of the best in the business to help fulfill their dream of a stunning home on a stunning site that was also gentle on the earth. A maverick visionary, in 1982 the owner established KTAO in Taos, the first radio station in the world powered by the sun. It was only logical that their home incorporate solar features but the “dome” took some research. After doing their homework, they ended up having world renowned builder Mert Hull, designer Jim Kaslik, and engineer Chris Zweifel work with them on their project. They created the floor plan and everything about the elegant home was designed to lift ones spirits. Lots of windows frame lots of pastoral & mountain views. The soaring domed ceiling generates a sense of space & freedom. Even a jaded cook’s spirit will be lifted by the “Chefs” kitchen with lots of storage & counter space w/ 2 sinks plus pull out pantry.

Downstairs is a media room, office, the guest bedroom and bath, large laundry room, and the mechanical room. An expansive gallery connects the two domes and contains another office, an artistic ½ bath, and adjoins a lovely solarium/greenhouse. This home even has central vacuum. Why the dome? Besides its beauty, monolithic domes are super insulated and virtually indestructible. The structural integrity of the reinforced concrete has been known to withstand tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes and impact resistant glass throughout adds another level of safety. The land is a one of a kind parcel that lends itself to permaculture (one of the owner's passions), pets (there’s a large dog run) serious gardening, fishing (there’s a river included), farm animals (you have to bring your own) or just relaxing. (Hammock included). What’s your passion?
