A HOMESTEADER'S PARADISE ON 10 ACRES BOARDERING NATIONAL FOREST, with a Geodesic dome house; a spherical or structure built using a framework of triangles, boasting energy efficiency, structural strength, and unique aesthetic. THIS IS A FIXER UPPER WITH VAST POTENTIAL, requiring much cleaning up and minor repairs. This property has it all with 5 apple trees and a currant bush, a large metal garage with a concrete floor and large roll-up door, an outbuilding, up to 4 chicken coops, and an outdoor privy. There are ATV trails, a small creek and a lot of privacy due to its remote location, yet the local fire station is less than 5 miles away. The roof was replaced in 2022, and the home can be heated with the 2022 wood gasification furnace that is EPA certified, and it is plumbed for propane.
