Discover a home unlike any other! Built during the era when geodesic-dome construction was taking root in DeLand following Buckminster Fuller's Fuller-Patterson research project near the DeLand airport, this distinctive concrete dome home reflects a fascinating chapter in the area's architectural history. The dome-home is believed to have been constructed by James Patterson, Fuller's DeLand business partner and co-founder of the Fuller-Patterson research operation. The original dome was build in 1983 and the rest, including garages, bedroom with exterior entrance, office over the big garage (not finished), tack room and stables were built in 1990. Set on 2.54 private, fully fenced acres, this one-of-a-kind home combines distinctive architecture with the strength and energy efficiency associated with concrete dome construction. Surrounded by nature yet conveniently located near everyday amenities, the property offers privacy, space, and versatility and is zoned for horses. Inside, the flexible floor plan offers 2 bedrooms with the potential for 3–4, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living room, dining room, dedicated office, and expansive family room. The private upstairs primary suite features an en-suite bathroom and an enormous closet with abundant storage. Additional features include an inside laundry room, 2 AC units, and 2 electrical panels. There is also a office over the garage that can be finished to one's desired look and used to work from home. For those looking to bring horses home, the fully fenced acreage and horse zoning provide the opportunity to create an equestrian setup to suit their needs. An existing basic run-in structure provides a starting point but is in need of repair. The acreage also offers plenty of possibilities for a hobby farm, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. An oversized garage plus an additional storage garage provide excellent space for vehicles, woodworking, hobbies, storage, or a workshop. If you have been searching for a property with character, history, privacy, and room to spread out, this remarkable DeLand dome home is truly something special. Schedule your private showing and experience it for yourself!
