Looking for something a little bit spacey? Something that\u2019s so far off the beaten path, it\u2019s out-of-this-world cool? A dome home could be for you, as it conveys \u201crugged individualism\u201d and \u201cretro chic\u201d all at the same time.<\/p>\n

Architect, writer, inventor, and futurist Buckminster Fuller<\/strong> is credited with popularizing the geodesic dome home in the United States in the mid-1940s.<\/p>\n

Since then, they\u2019ve remained a source of fascination. The curved contraptions do have their advantages: The structure is self-supporting, and it is often less expensive to construct.<\/p>\n

So for all you dreamers out there, here are five fabulous dome homes at prices ranging from $449,900 to $925,000, in all corners of the country. Take a look:<\/p>\n

110 N Saddle Dr, Idaho Springs, CO<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $825,000
\n<\/strong>Luna Dome:<\/strong> This trilevel home is one of the larger ones we\u2019ve seen, with four bedrooms and three baths in 4,560 square feet of living space. Its wide-open floor plan makes it seem even more spacious.<\/p>\n

This particular specimen, called the Luna Dome, sits on a hilly, 5-acre lot, with spectacular mountain views from its numerous decks. It has a lower, walk-out level with a separate entrance; it could be an independent unit, featuring a living area, den, kitchenette, bedroom, and bath.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis unique home has hosted people from all over the world and has proved to be a great investment opportunity,\u201d states the listing.<\/p>\n

2569 N 46th Rd, Somonauk, IL<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $499,900

The traditional front door welcomes you into the futuristic-looking lair. But the use of knotty pine accents and oak flooring brings this four-bedroom, five-bath design back down to Earth. The soaring cathedral ceilings certainly add a sense of awe.<\/p>\n

The 5-acre lot includes a metal building with a covered porch, an office, and plenty of storage, which can sometimes be an issue with dome homes\u2014there aren\u2019t a lot of corners where you can place your stuff.<\/p>\n

The property is zoned for horses and is covered with native plants, which offer a tax benefit.<\/p>\n
