Adorable Dome. This working homestead has two ponds, a barn, chicken run and vegetable garden that's getting produce. Lots of mature vegetation and the hot tub give the exterior a feeling of being completely secluded, but close to town. The dome is in very good condition with adorable touches throughout. A great house with unique vibes and appearance. For COMP purposes only
