Overview:
Known as The Geosphere, this extraordinary retreat was conceived as a living sculpture—a place where architecture, landscape, and light converge. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, skylights, and panoramic woodland views transform the interior throughout the day, creating an immersive experience of nature and seasonality.
Set deep within a private woodland clearing, the property offers a rare combination of architectural significance and ecological immersion. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the dome, pond, trails, meadow, fire pit, and cabin lounge space, creating the feeling of inhabiting a private nature reserve.
The dome itself is fully winterized and designed for year-round comfort, with carefully curated furnishings including heat and AC, reliable internet, a fully equipped kitchen, and a wood stove for colder months. The unique geometry and acoustics create a calm, contemplative atmosphere that many guests describe as restorative. There is a lofted bedroom area with a king sized bed, and an additional futon-style bed which can be used for sleeping, if desired.
Whether swimming in the pond, gathering around the fire beneath the stars, writing in the cabin, or simply watching light move through the trees, The Geosphere offers a slower rhythm of living and a rare opportunity to inhabit architecture as experience.
Perfect for writers, artists, designers, academics, couples, and anyone seeking quiet, beauty, and reconnection.
