Home Features
Built 1.5 meters below ground level with 50 cm thick earth bag walls, the structure offers exceptional thermal regulation and structural integrity. The home stays naturally cool in the hottest summer months and warm throughout the cooler winter season—requiring minimal heating or cooling thanks to its self-regulating design. This home offers an exceptional level of detail and structural as well as visual integrity.
Set on 3+ hectares of fully fenced, off-grid land in Baja Mexico, the dOMe hOMe is a hand-crafted earthen retreat, designed for intentional living, natural luxury, and deep connection to the land.
Getting there
Located just 45 minutes north of the San Jose International Airport, our sanctuary awaits. Exit the highway at the picturesque town of Santiago and embark down a long desert backroad where you will find our oasis.
The property is a short walk or bike ride to the El Chorro seasonal Hot Springs. There you will find magical hiking trails and crystal clear fresh water natural swimming pools.
Craving the sea and empty white sandy beaches? A 45 minute drive east will take you to epic isolated and pristine beaches on the Gulf of California, which we call the Sea of Calafia. This is a beautifully rural Baja area accessed along a sandy desert road.
Having a vehicle is crucial to go to and from the property to explore all that Baja has to offer. If you're not a fan of driving then please let us know and we can provide transportation for an additional price.
Details
Enter through a handcrafted oval hardwood door into the open-air courtyard—an inviting space designed for connection and comfort. Here you’ll find an outdoor kitchen equipped with a 4-burner KitchenAid gas stovetop, two food prep islands, a bar fridge, and a dedicated wash station. The courtyard also features an outdoor bath and shower, nestled among rock-walled ornamental gardens with flowering plants like roses, ferns, and coleus, alongside a vibrant mix of exotic and fruit-bearing trees—cacao, noni, coffee, dwarf coconut, papaya, fig, banana, and kumquat citrus.
Ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. This space is perfect for family meals, gatherings, and slow evenings around the wood-burning rocket stove. Tastefully positioned outdoor lighting both in the courtyard, pool area as well as around the exterior of the building, adds a magical feel to the evening ambience.

The central dome is the heart of the home, featuring a spacious kitchen and living area with thoughtful design throughout. Open-concept shelving, a hardwood island, marble countertops, and a large double-door LG fridge create a space that’s both functional and beautiful. Natural light pours in through an octagonal skylight overhead, 2 M wide rectangular window facing north and a 2-meter-wide half-moon window that frames breathtaking views of the pool and mountains. Additional features include feng shui fountains flanking the entrance and an air-tight wood stove—perfect for cozy winter evenings.
Loft Space: Above the kitchen and living area is a spacious open-air loft with a twin bed and round windows facing east and west.
Circular Earthbag Design: A rounded tunnel connects all pods to the central dome, featuring circular porthole windows that overlook the pool deck. Passive ventilation throughout the tunnel keeps the space cool and fresh.
