The Big Bear Dome Home is not just a home but a sanctuary that can comfort the body, enlighten the mind and uplift the spirits; a stay at the home will turn even skeptics into believers. The Dome Home in Big Bear; so close to Los Angeles and yet a world away.
Where Tucked away in the tall Ponderosa pines of Big Bear in Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains is a one-of-a-kind, custom-built home. This inspiring and majestic abode is meant for that distinctive person or family looking for the exceptional second home or getaway that reflects their unique personality.
The ConstructionThe dome construction, developed and patented by Buckminster Fuller, is one of the most solid constructions invented by man. This spacious home with a conveniently attached 2-car garage offers 4 private bedrooms (potentially 5), 3.5 bathrooms, and has been redesigned and redecorated by professional designer/decorators and even a Feng Shui master. From paint scheme to cardinal orientation considerations, to specific lighting and luxurious furnishings, the home is designed for fun, comfort, inspiration and, definitely, entertaining as well.
Octagonal-shaped foyer
leads to living room
OverviewA unique, octagonal-shaped foyer, illuminated by vertically shooting spotlights, leads to a colossal living room with cedar-paneled walls that reach out to the pentagonal skylight windows which, like windows to the universe, grace and light up the center of the house—from the living room to the dining room and the loft. Two of the skylight windows open electrically to offer ventilation while offering complete privacy in summer or winter, as well as romantic views of the heavens above.
Coveted LocationBig Bear is a unique and coveted destination in Southern California, with an exceptional climate and offering a variety of activities—skiing, golfing, hiking, fishing, boating or just plain dining and shopping in the village. The Dome Home is located in the exclusive “Upper Moonridge” area, right by the Bear Mountain ski resort.
Just in case the day’s activities are not enough to tire you or if you don’t find the soothing atmosphere by the fireplaces relaxing enough, then maybe another surprise will do the trick.
A ceiling of stars (a simulated rendition)
Slumber under the StarsHow would you like to fall asleep under the stars while warmly tucked in bed? That’s what all four private bedrooms offer guests and visitors.
As guests retire to their bedrooms, turn out the lights and blow out the candles, they will fall asleep under “stars” so realistic, they’ll think the ceiling is made of glass and they are staring at the stars on a clear moonless night in the mountains.
The ceiling looks perfectly normal during the day or when the lights are on.
Front security gates
Safe & SecureWhile the gated property is surrounded by a high metal fence for protection from human and animal intruders, it can’t keep out the unquestionable liberating and uplifting influence of the adjoining national forest that begins at the back property line.
With an abundance of pine trees and their pervasive scent in the air, squirrels and rabbits playing amid nature’s finery, inhabitants and visitors alike will feel immersed in nature and its habitat.
The hike trails start right from the backyard
Hike in Your BackyardThe thousands of acres of national forest offer unlimited enjoyment. Trails for leisurely walking or backpack hiking can be reached right from the backyard.
This is not just a home, this is a luxury retreat, a pristine environment that reduces life’s burdens and allows guests to live closer to their true potentials.
