About 83 May Hill Road, Stop 36

Ensconced in greenery, at the end of a quiet country road sits The Dome House: a mahogany-sided passive home that is equal parts function and form, on just over 5 acres. The home is sprawling and airy in nature, and contains a multitude of environments for living, creating, utility and play. Each carefully considered design decision was made in the pursuit of living in harmony with the natural surroundings and elements— something that can be felt throughout the property. The gathering spaces are generous in both size and warmth, all south-facing to achieve the most magnificent capture of natural light throughout the day. Days can be spent puttering around in the enclosed garden with raised beds, hiking through the hundreds of acres of preserved forest just around the bend and recovering in the indoor wood sauna. Should you need additional or separate space, a two bay garage and space to expand provide a range of possibilities. Solar panels power the entire property with the option to support electric car charging as well. And perhaps the most luxurious feature of all: the ability to observe nature at play all around you. When you find yourself in need of anything from the outside world, the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store is only three minutes away. At the heart of the iconic Hawthorne Valley Farm, about halfway between the Hudson River and the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, life is effortlessly rooted in environmental consciousness. The Nature Institute is just down the road, as is The Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School. Should you need to venture out further, the Taconic State Parkway is less than five minutes away, less than 15 minutes to the Village of Chatham and two hours to New York City.
