One of a kind, Architect’s former personal creation, and home.
The design of the Earth home was derived and crafted after African mud huts where famed architect, Bob Chappelle lived for many years. He made the Dome Home and the 47 acres on which it sits, his personal residence until 2018. In an article in Popular Mechanics, Chappelle stated that the walls have an insulative value of R-40.
Inside the rooms flow with soft curves, rounded windows, rounded skylights, and a floating staircase. The craftsmanship, making use of local granite, cherry wood, and concrete is beautiful, compelling, and unusual. There’s a huge wooden soaking tub, cherry dining room table, cherry kitchen screen, gorgeous cherry bed headboard, and rough-hewn granite floors and walls.
There are stone patios, a small goldfish pond, and many cement and granite sculptures. The private property, includes a large pond, open fields, and woods. The surrounding area is scenic with shopping and restaurants within 20 minutes.
It isn’t a requirement that the structure is restored but to carry on the architect’s legacy could be a dream project for an engineer, architect, or even an architectural student. It is a once in a lifetime chance to own a piece of art and a fabulous opportunity for a getaway, lucrative Airbnb, or both.
