The out-of-this-world property is nestled inside the Joshua Tree National Park and blends seamlessly into the sandy, cactus-filled landscape.
The compound comprises of three separate domes and a sprawling outside area with endless panoramic views that feel like your stepping away from the world and into a Mars-like home.
The larger dome structure is surprisingly spacious and contains luxurious sleeping quarters, a living area, two bathrooms, and a kitchen.
The smaller dome contains a studio living space and the last dome is a communal bathroom.
In total, the compound boasts five bedrooms, three bathrooms, as well as its own pool and temple for meditation.
The wacky desert-based home is constructed mostly out of locally excavated earth and was reportedly based on designs by the late architect Nader Khalili.
The listing – held by James Bianco of The Bianco Group – reads: “This exquisite property will leave you feeling a sense of magic, almost as though you have just been transported to an extra-terrestrial planet.
“The domes are comprised of a larger dome, equipped with two sleeping quarters, a living area, kitchen, and two bathrooms.
“The singular domes include a studio living quarter, as well as two separate sleeping quarters, and a communal bath dome.
“The vast and beautiful grounds consist of a desert landscape, an outdoor kitchen, and BBQ area.
“Step down into the circular fire pit area, where you can relax and take in the millions of stars in the sky above.
“Newly constructed pool with a large area for lounging and sunbathing.
“In addition to all these wonderful features, the property has a small temple on the grounds, perfect for a meditation room or an area to sit and reflect.
“This out-of-this-world property is something you will not come across every day.
“This income-generating property is perfect for desert retreats, events, and so much more!”
Its not the only strange property to hit the market – in Spain, an entire abandoned village with 44 homes is up for sale.
Salto de Castro, in north-western Spain, gets 135 days of sun each year and boasts its own hotel, pool and bar.
And all of it could be yours for the same price as just one house.
Elsewhere, the “world’s tiniest private island” is for sale.
Isle Fraser, which is located on the Saint-Laurence River in Quebec, Canada is only accessible by boat and is perfect for those looking for an off-grid life.
The one-of-a-kind property has breathtaking views of the surrounding lake from all areas of the island.
