Star Wars on the outside, suburban simplicity on the inside of Missouri home for sale
No, you’re not looking at a home in a galaxy far, far away, although the vibes flowing through this unique twin-dome shaped house on the real estate market in Otterville, Missouri, feel out of this world, like straight from a Star Wars movie.
The five-bedroom, two-bathroom home is listed for $348,421 and has a great deal of potential. And of course, the futuristic appeal of the exterior is a major draw.
“In sci-fi, what are the homes of the future? Domes,” owner Michael Van Devender told Insider. “Turns out that’s not fantasy either — they’re actually superior to traditional housing in a myriad of ways.”
The end result definitely has that draw on the outside, with an almost cave-like interior throughout the 2,061 square feet.
“My wife and I spent several years tossing ideas back and forth, researching, sketching plans, soliciting help from family, friends, and experts, all of which gradually coalesced into the design of the house you see now,” Van Devender said, per Insider.
Features include:
Open kitchen
Vinyl plank flooring
Storage space
Laundry room
Pantry
Energy efficient
“Sits on quiet, secluded 6.07 acres with wildlife for hunting, apple, pear and mulberry trees as well as a blackberry bush. Perfect for permaculture!” the listing on Realtor.com says.
Dome homes have been a hot ticket item on the real estate market lately, ranging from mansion-like and overlooking Los Angeles, to whimsical like one in Connecticut.
Otterville is about 100 miles southeast of Kansas City.
