About this property

Dome Home on 42 Acres! Close to the Beach and Downtown Kennebunkport

Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape.

The Dome Home sits on 42 acres of its own land and is neighbored by conservation land and woods. You can enjoy the seclusion of the space, while also enjoying modern amenities to keep you comfortable and entertained.

The Dome is an open, loft-like structure with no doors. In the main structure, there are three bedrooms (two queen & two twin beds). The beds are well hidden behind walls, so there is visual privacy for sleeping and changing, but when everyone is in their bed, you could easily have conversations with each other. One bedroom on the second floor has a curtain door that allows you total visual privacy. Be sure you're friendly with people you are booking with!

The bathroom does have a proper door, a large two person shower, and a sunroom that gets nice and toasty when the sun is out, winter or summer.

**HALF BATH currently being installed, should be complete by April/May 2023. The Chalet will also have the outhouse up and running by then!**

There is a barn within a stones throw of the Dome that has recently been renovated. It has electricity and heat, but no running water.

The basement will be locked and off limits to guests as this is where the batteries are that power the Dome and could be dangerous to those not properly trained.

There is also a wood burning stove in the main dome structure that is off limits to guests due to safety precautions.

I live in Boston, so you will check in and out yourself and I will be available remotely for you. I can be there within two hours for any emergencies or have many local friends and contractors who could assist with any immediate needs.

The propane tank will always be full upon arrival, however, the solar energy cannot be controlled. In the summer when the sun is strong, you shouldn't have any issues with power. If you are staying in the winter you may need to be more conscientious of your power consumption especially if there are multiple cloudy/snowy days. If the Dome loses power, there is a generator that you can turn on that runs off of the propane tank.

There are 120V outlets throughout the Dome that will power your personal devices, but we ask that you only use the appliances we supply for you and do not use or bring high-use appliances like electric tea kettles, crock pots, hair dryers, straighteners, irons, etc.

The Dome Home is located in Kennebunkport, Maine. Kennebunkport is an amazing community with countless local shops, restaurants, breweries, distilleries, concert halls and local businesses featuring artists, farmers, and craftspeople.

From the Dome, you are about 10 minutes from the Goose Rocks Beach and 15-20 minutes from downtown Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, Biddeford, Saco, and Cape Porpoise. About 30 minutes north is Portland and 30 minutes south is Kittery. The Dome is right in the middle of it all!

Driving to the Dome from the North or South, use I-95 and you can get off at the Biddeford exit 32 or right before the Kennebunk service plaza at exit 25. It is about 1:45 minutes from Boston.

You will need a car to get to the Dome and to go on fun adventures. There is a private dirt road for the property. In the winter if there is snow on the ground, having a vehicle with AWD is recommended. If you have a low-riding car, please be cautious when driving down the dirt path and try to avoid any holes that may scratch the bottom of your vehicle.

The Dome has ample parking, we just ask that you try to stay on the dirt road. DO NOT park on the lawn area in front of the Dome, as this is where the septic tank is and your car will fall in!

About the host

Hosted by Joshua Johnson

Host profile image
Hi, we're Josh and Clare! We bought the Dome Home in 2022 from an incredibly talented couple who built this home with their own two hands, and we are excited to share it with you. Josh is the owner of a landscape management company in Boston, and Clare is an occupational therapist. Josh's favorite past-times at the Dome Home are running in the field with our dog, Nola, while you can find Clare learning a new song on the piano.

Why they chose this property

This property was built with incredible attention to detail and a hand-crafted touch. All the wood beams you see throughout the property are from the land, the doors hand crafted, and the land is filled with beautiful boulders. It is truly one of a kind and you will fall in love as soon as you drive up the driveway.

What makes this property unique

The Dome offers loft living. Though beds are tucked behind walls and not in view from the main living space, there are no doors throughout the space with the exception of the bathroom. In the bathroom you'll find a double shower and a sunroom. There is also a barn space that will soon have space for more bedrooms and/or play area.
