Millions of Americans are eagerly anticipating the last solar eclipse that will be visible from the lower 48 states until 2044. While most will be stepping outside to catch a glimpse of this rare celestial event, a select few homeowners have the luxury of private observatories or viewing decks to enhance their viewing experience.

These exclusive homes, tailored for stargazing, are currently on the market, offering a unique opportunity for amateur astronomers with the means to indulge in this rare spectacle.

One such property, located in Evergreen, Colorado, is listed at $1.59 million and boasts a private observatory for unparalleled astronomical observations. Similarly, a $10.75 million home in Sonoma, California, strategically positioned away from light pollution, features an 840 square-foot, professional-grade observatory, designed by acclaimed architect and amateur astronomer Daryl Roberson.

Meanwhile, a $1.5 million residence in Scroggins, Texas, although lacking a custom observatory, is situated in the path of totality for the solar eclipse and is set on 36.34 acres of unobstructed natural beauty, providing an ideal vantage point for celestial phenomena.

Even properties not directly in the path of totality are offering unique viewing opportunities. A 4,600-square-foot home in Evergreen, Colorado, listed for $1.59 million, features an attached, domed private observatory equipped with a state-of-the-art PlaneWave telescope, allowing residents to witness a partial eclipse.

For those with a penchant for luxury, a $2.69 million estate in Maryland presents an array of amenities, including a climate-controlled observatory with a high-end telescope on the property’s second floor, ensuring an unparalleled viewing experience of the partial eclipse.

According to the New York Times, building home observatories can range from $50,000 to over $500,000, with additional equipment costs varying from $10,000 to $40,000. These private observatories offer a glimpse into the world of astronomy, providing enthusiasts with a chance to witness celestial events from the comfort of their own homes.
