From the Agent: "The ultimate artist retreat, the LA Domestead is best known for its geodesic dome exterior, 15 skylights, and wraparound deck which gives way to 180-degree views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Los Angeles cityscape. Spanning three floors, the home sits on a quarter-acre of native and cultivated gardens and houses an art studio and yurt. The rooms are not confined to the typical box layout but are free flowing with curved edges and triangular windows."

Towering trees surrounding the landmark residence provide plenty of shade and privacy.
