Property Description
With a $50,000 price improvement, this extraordinary double geodesic dome in Hudson Bend offers architectural artistry, energy efficiency, and a prime Lake Travis location all in one.
Inspired by the revolutionary ideas of Buckminster Fuller, tucked away on a generous 1-acre lot in Hudson Bend, just minutes from Lake Travis, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath architectural marvel is as functional as it is interesting.
Geodesic domes are celebrated for their structural integrity, energy efficiency, and harmony with nature--principles that Fuller believed could reshape the way we live. The aerodynamic design minimizes material use while maximizing interior space, light, and air flow. Inside, the twin domes create an expansive, interconnected layout with soaring ceilings, organic angles, and a natural sense of calm and clarity.
The main living area is bathed in natural light, with panoramic windows that invite the outdoors in. A spacious kitchen opens to this radiant central space--ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings. The home also features a dedicated office, perfect for creative work or remote productivity. Each bedroom offers privacy and personality, while the upstairs primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat.
Outside, the amenities continue: a sparkling 12' deep pool, a versatile workshop, and plenty of room to garden, roam, or unwind beneath blue Texas skies. Whether you're entertaining under the stars or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee, the land offers freedom, privacy and flexibility.
Located in the vibrant heart of Hudson Bend with easy access to lake marinas, waterfront dining, shopping, and top-rated Lake Travis ISD schools, this home is a rare chance to live artfully, efficiently, and in tune with nature.
