Cloudome, a Monolithic Dome home in Menlo, Georgia, is a once-in-a-lifetime property for sale. Built in 2005, it sits on 24 acres at the top of Lookout Mountain.

The home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious living area with vaulted ceilings and a skylight, as well as a wood-burning fireplace and a remodeled kitchen with custom finishes. Large windows and doors open to sweeping views of the wooded property and the nearby spring-fed pond.
