Discover the magical blend of architectural intrigue and lakeside serenity at this one-of-a-kind solar-powered lakefront geodesic dome home, nestled in the woods of Franklin, Maine. Sitting peacefully on the shores of Great Pond, this expansive 4,000 sq ft retreat offers a sustainable escape where you can spend your days paddling from a private dock or your nights stargazing on the deck.
This unique home is designed for comfort and group gatherings, featuring 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that can accommodate up to 12 guests. The sleeping arrangements are thoughtfully distributed across the home's levels: two bedrooms on the main level each feature a queen bed, while the upper-level open loft serves as a third bedroom with a king bed. For additional guests, the downstairs area provides two twin bunk beds. A couch in the living room is also available for extra lounging.
Inside, you will find a bright, open-concept layout characterized by very unique triangular windows that provide stunning water views from nearly every room. The fully equipped kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, oven, full-sized refrigerator, and dishwasher, along with a drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and a dining table that seats 8.
Outdoor living is a central part of the experience here. Guests can enjoy a private deck overlooking Great Pond, direct shoreline access for kayaking, and a gas grill for open-air cooking. For those cozy summer nights, there is a fire pit available (please bring your own firewood).
Located in the heart of Maine's natural beauty, the property is ideally situated for exploration. You are just a scenic 50-minute drive from Acadia National Park, and within easy reach of Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, and the shopping and dining options in Bangor and Ellsworth.
