Key insights:

• A one-of-a-kind double dome property is now available in Eden Prairie.
• The estate, comprising two connected geodesic domes, has been generating local and even global buzz since its listing.
• Take a peek at the unique features of the home, including its angular walls, brightly lit interior and playful layout.

Remarkable doesn’t really begin to describe this home. Known as the “Double Domes of Eden Prairie,” this property consists of two connected geodesic domes, and offers more than 8,000 of livable square feet.

Built in 1977, the estate has been meticulously renovated by its current owner, who has been renting it as an Airbnb.

The Double Domes of Eden Prairie is settled on 1.8 acres and includes:

• Six bedrooms and five bathrooms
• A movie theater room
• An indoor putting green
• A private deck adjacent to the owner’s suite
• Outdoor spaces for dining and entertaining
• Two play slides: One interior, one exterior

Beyond these property details, the home has a truly one-of-a-kind design and expansive interior, made all the more interesting by the varying angles and skylit ceilings in each room.

About geodesic domes

Once considered the potential future of housing design, geodesic domes were popularized in the 1950s by the architect Buckminster Fuller, who sought ways to make shelter “more comfortable and efficient… and more economically available to a greater number of people.” Specifically, the design of the dome was intended to maximize the interior space while minimizing the surface area — which would allow the builder to save on materials, and the homeowner to save on total cost.

While the design didn’t end up redefining residential home design, geodesic domes are still occasionally built and sold across the U.S. today. When they come on the market, they tend to make a splash — as the Double Domes of Eden Prairie has.

Double Domes of Eden Prairie in the news

Featured in numerous publications, including the Star Tribune, BringMe the News, Kare 11 and even the Daily Mail in the UK, the property has been causing a sensation since its listing in July.

This has come to no surprise to listing agents Jason Zoellner and Carrie Ledermann, who were immediately drawn to the property and excited to market it to the right set of buyers.

Zoellner says, “This property has attracted tremendous interest all across the globe. Not only is it viewed as a novelty but as a true home for buyers who are attracted to its historic design, creative interior features and expansive outdoor spaces. This truly is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a very special buyer.”

Double Domes’ top features

While the home’s main living areas are a master class in luxury interior design, the property is significantly more playful and colorful than most other homes at this price point.

The home offers four connected junior bedrooms, which meet up in a loft playroom.

An interior slide drops into a rumpus room, which is one of the property’s many play and recreation areas.

The owner’s suite opens to a private rooftop deck for stargazing.

Ample outdoor spaces include two well-lit pergolas and a large space for outdoor dining.

A private backyard pond offers space for quiet time in nature.

The property is brightly lit, thanks to the dome’s glass design features and the additional floor-to-ceiling windows and doors throughout.
