Seeking Advice: Selling and Financing a Geodesic Dome in Eureka Springs

[Katie Hendrickson]

Hello,

I’m preparing to sell a 550sqft geodesic dome located in Eureka Springs. The property is unique—it’s off-grid with a well, solar power, and a fully finished interior. It also features a minisplit HVAC system and PVC exterior covering.

We plan to market it as a vacation rental, given its potential appeal to eco-conscious travelers and those looking for a distinctive getaway experience.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience with selling or financing geodesic domes. Specifically:

1. Financing: Do you know of lenders who specialize in unconventional properties like geodomes? Any advice on securing financing for potential buyers would be greatly appreciated.
2. Personal Experiences: If you’ve owned, sold, or rented out a geodome, I’d love to hear about your challenges, successes, and any tips you might have for marketing or managing this type of property.

Thanks in advance for your insights! I look forward to learning from this community.
