Star Wars Meets The Flintstones at Bonita Domes in Joshua Tree, California
This property is available to book through Airbnb from $488 / night and is currently on the market for $2,100,000, listed with Coldwell Banker.
Nestled in a desert landscape and featuring a unique pod-structure, the one-of-a-kind property feels distinctly other worldly.
The California property consists of several domes built using long sandbags of earth excavated from the Joshua Tree site, based on a design by the late architect Nader Khalil who pioneered the Cal Earth technique of construction, called SuperAdobe.
Bonita Domes offers 1339 sq ft of cave-like living spaces across several pods, with 2 sleeping quarters, a living area, a kitchen, and 2 bathrooms in the main dome, another studio living space with 2 bedrooms, and a communal bath dome.
Outside, there is a large outdoor lounging area with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, a circular fire pit, and a swimming pool featuring a black bottom pebble finish to enhance those dark night skies in the Joshua Tree desert.
