Mount Nelson TAS 7007

Without doubt one of the most remarkable homes ever constructed in the greater Hobart area, this signature residence made a splash on completion in 1974 and received many accolades for its architectural and aesthetic ingenuity, originality and flawless execution. Designed and built by award-winning and world-renowned Tasmanian artists the late John Smith and his wife Penny Smith the Geo-dome stands as a testament to their vision, courage and spirit of adventure.
This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire not only an exceptional and singular rural residence, but also provide your family with a completely magical living experience. Perfectly positioned inside two sunny acres of beautiful native bushland grounds, maximising both privacy and the benefits of winter sunshine, the property also enjoys low maintenance gardens, views out to the mountain and abundant bird life.
The futuristic fibreglass Geo-dome architecture sets the tone of the amazing interior. Airy and bright and with an open-plan ambience that s exemplified by its distinctive circular shape and spherical roof, the home nevertheless retains warmth and intimacy with the use of timber floorboards and dome framing, retro-style touches and a slow-combustion fire that heats the entire space.
