The property is at approx 7,800 feet elevation.​ The vistas are spectacular.​ From several vantage points on the property are clear views of the Tularosa Basin and White Sands National Park, with the San Andres Mountains on the horizon about 70 miles to the west.​ On a clear day you can even see the tips of the Gila mountains behind those!

Above the homestead is the rim of the Sacramento Mountains some 1500' higher in elevation.​The surrounding wilderness is populated by deer, elk, turkey, bear, fox - all manner of wild animals and birds.​ It is designated Unit 34, and it's possible to get a land owner elk permit.​

There are numerous marked hiking trails in the surrounding territory as well as several observatories.​ The night skies here are magnificent.​

Westside Road runs down one side of the property and is maintained by the US Forest Service.​

The domes structure consists of three large geodesic domes joined to create one sprawling 7182 square foot home.​The 3 domes are joined by connectors which provide both privacy from dome to dome.​ Also there are additional extensions built onto each dome for bedrooms and work areas.​

The domes were originally designed as a workshop & retreat center.​ We have carried on that tradition, living in the smallest Dome and running the other two domes as a Nature Retreat.​ We're listed on airbnb, vrbo, glamping hub, and we have our own booking platform through Lodgify.​ The business has garnered hundreds of five star reviews and many return clients.​ Guests from all over the world have loved staying at The Domes.​

The largest dome (45' diameter) contains 2 large main floor bedrooms, and two bedrooms in spacious lofts.​ There's one bathroom on each floor.​ The huge living room has a floor to ceiling height of 27' with french doors and numerous skylights giving this part of the house a unique sense of light and dimension.​

The middle dome is 40' diameter and contains a large fully equipped kitchen, plus a dining room housing a custom made cherry table which seats 12.​ Two spacious loft bedrooms and bathroom complete the upper floor.​ The floor to ceiling height in this dome is 24'.​

The smallest dome is 35' diameter and is a fully functional single family home with kitchen, dining and open living area on the main floor, plus a loft housing bedroom, study and bathroom.​ Above the loft is a cupola with an amazing 360 degree view.​ The floor to ceiling height is 21' offering a wonderful balance between open atmosphere and cozy corners.​

We have cleared the land for two glamping areas with many more possible.​ On the first site we've nearly completed construction of a 30 ft deck on which will sit a 20 ft in diameter Inter-Shelter Dome.​ This Dome will give a unique upscale glamping experience and everything required for its construction may be included, pending negotiation.​

There is a well, plus a mountain spring water source which has been supplying the property for 120 years.​ Water rights for the spring are attached to the homestead so the buyer will take over water rights as well as having the well available.​ An extensive septic system was put in place to handle large groups.​ Electricity comes through the local co-operative.​ Heating is by wood and pellet stove.​

This land is perfectly suited to accommodate multi-purpose endeavors such as:

HUNTING LODGE
