Dome House – SOLD

  • POA
Hamilton Estate - NEVIS

Description

Dome House is the only Geodesic Dome property available in the Federation.

It is situated several hundred feet above the picturesque capital Charlestown on the forested flanks of Nevis Peak. The setting affords an amazing panoramic view of the Caribbean with Dutch islands St Eustatia & Saba framing the horizon.

Accessed via a 190′ concrete driveway Dome House features 2 bedrooms (a huge master and large guest room), 2 washrooms each with full tubs/showers, a large airy living room and dining room, a galley kitchen with a very large pantry area featuring lots of large cupboards and drawers for storage, and a large walk-out basement with laundry room.

Situated in the quiet neighbourhood of Hamilton, the house is conveniently located on the hillside directly above Charlestown and is a 5 minute drive to the Four Seasons Resort. The house has recently been repainted and is perfect for a couple or a small family looking for an excellent centrally located home in a classic, hurricane-proof structure, originally designed by American inventor and architect Buckminster Fuller.
