About this home
Truly one of a kind at Bear Lake! This solar-powered home combines innovative architecture, advanced energy efficiency, and turnkey short-term rental potential. Originally designed and built for the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon zero-energy home competition, it was featured in the 2023 Utah Valley Parade of Homes before being relocated to Garden City in 2025. Built from three interconnected monolithic concrete domes, the home was engineered for durability, efficiency, and year-round comfort. Construction includes fiberglass-reinforced concrete, continuous insulation, a waterproof exterior membrane, and triple-pane windows. Blower door testing measured fewer than 2 air changes per hour. Features include owned solar on a bifacial solar pergola, a SPAN smart panel with real-time energy monitoring, an energy recovery ventilator, high-efficiency heating and cooling, and a tankless water heater, plus an EV charging station and full RV hookups with water, sewer, and 50-amp service. The curved two-bedroom, two-bath layout sleeps up to eight and features an induction range and an open living space. Outside, the fully xeriscaped yard has synthetic turf, fire pit, a BBQ area, and a hot tub area already wired for installation. Walk to public beach access, parks, a fishing pond, pickleball courts, the bike path, and restaurants. Currently a fully furnished, turnkey short-term rental with excellent guest reviews. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate only and were obtained from the original architectural plans and seller-provided information. Buyer is advised to obtain an independent measurement.
