The Sassafras Dome Earth Home w/ Breathtaking Views


This post contains affiliate links.

This remarkable dome home is built at the top of a cliff in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee. The build took place as part of DIY’s “Building Off-Grid,” and now you can enjoy the home too!

It has a large living/kitchen area and a luxurious bedroom, both connected by a bathroom. The outdoor space is even cooler, with a rock fire pit on the main level, and then a special ledge on the cliff where you can bathe in a stone tub. What do you think?

We are close to everything, but away from it all. Setting at the top of a rock cliff overlooking an old rock quarry pond. This place is truly unique. Not to mention the fact that you are in a super posh underground dome earth house. This is a place to “unplug” and relax and do nothing. Set outside by the pond and relax by the outdoor gas firepit or enjoy the outdoor spa, a stone soaking tub.

    Wow! The scenery and exterior are FABULOUS! I could look at those views for days! It’s definitely a unique structure of amazing design but I have to admit that, for me, the interior was very cold. Still very unique and wonderful but the refrigerator white walls with the ice blue chairs gave me a shiver. It looked like the walls in the kitchen were a pale cool gray, too. Please know that I realize that the colors appear differently on different monitors and that time of day can all affect the appearance of color in photos so my opinion is only based on what these photos show. Because of the unique design, it is difficult to put artwork on the walls so that option of warming up the place isn’t really a viable option. And plants are out if it is a rental because of the care they would need. There are many people who would truly love the coolness of the interior. I’m just someone who enjoys warmer, creamier colors. Greens, purples, off-white, teals and such. Overall, though, I would say it would be a very different experience to stay here and if you spent most of your time outside, it would be gorgeous! Architecturally unique and dynamic!
