It is time!

We have decided to sell our domes, we are getting old and need to downsize. But before we put the property on the market we wanted to give you a first shot. You have been looking and dreaming of having a dome home. Now you don’t have to build one from scratch, just make some changes and adjustments for you own needs. 

The 2 Mulberry domes are in rural Virginia, close to the city of Lexington. 
The property is ~30 acres from which ~7 acres is grass the rest is forest. So plenty of possibilities: forestry, homesteading, farming, horse rearing, organic gardening or enjoying peace and quiet just as we do. 
The domes are equipped with geothermic floor heating and solar panels, that reduces the cost of heating and airco considerably, and as a backup there is a gas generator. If necessary you can go off the grid completely. 
And yes, there is high speed internet connection in case you want to work from home.

The inside of the domes right now is: you enter into a large vestibule, right and left are the domes. The small dome has 2 bedrooms upstairs with kitchenettes and a full bath. Downstairs is a garage and a woodwork shop. The big dome has an open kitchen, living room with cathedral ceiling, and master bedroom with bathroom and large walk-in closet. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room. There is more... the third floor above the bedrooms is for storage and an entry to the cupola with windows around for a panoramic view.

UPDATE: The house is on the market!
