Location

The Tennessee Dome House is located about 1 mile from US 441 almost half way between Seymour and Sevierville, TN. It is a short drive to Knoxville, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge (Dollywood amusement park), and Gatlinburg. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is another short drive. While the location is in the middle of everything, it is in a quiet wooded area not affected by seasonal traffic.

The Property

The main tract, which includes the house and guest house, is a ridge top with 11.7 acres. The second tract is a hilltop with 5.98 acres. The third tract is another hilltop with .92 acres. The total acreage is 18.6. The entire property is wooded. The previously recorded hilltop tracts can be marketed if an owner desires.

The Geodesic Dome House

Architecturally designed, it is a 40 foot diameter, 20 foot high dome laced with 13 skylights. There is a separate building inside the dome which contains a bath, the kitchen, closets, and stairs on the main floor with a loft over. Spaces for sleeping, dressing, dining, living, and study are around this central little building. There are two decks on the wooded side with ramps to ground level. A lower level contains another sleeping area, bath, and utilities with a lower level deck in the woods. Square footage is about 1800. Please see floor plans.

Guest House/Studio

This separate building is 650 square feet and includes a sleeping area with closet, a bath, and a large studio or living room with a unit kitchen. There is a 12' x 14' deck jutting out into the woods that overlooks a deer trail below. The large north facing window is for an artist.

Storage Building

The 10' x 10' storage building is fully insulated and has electrical service.

The geodesic dome house was built in 1976 and has gone through almost continuous updates since then. All appliances, including the heating system are from 1993 or later. The studio/guest house is new in 2006.
