About this home
Owner Financing Available!!
4 Bed | 2 Bath | 1,727 Sq Ft | .98 Acre Wooded Lot
There is no other home like this in Gainesville — and quite possibly anywhere.
The Foam Dome is a genuine original. Designed and hand-built in 1972 by a University of Florida landscape architecture student, this extraordinary structure was a vision of organic, energy-efficient living decades ahead of its time. Every curve, arch, and passageway was shaped by hand using a sprayed polyurethane foam and rebar frame — no two angles are the same, and not a single straight line exists anywhere in the building.
Set on nearly an acre of lush, wooded land, the home's connected domes rise organically from the forest floor like something out of a fairy tale. Inside, soaring curved ceilings, arched windows framing the tree canopy, a wood-burning stove, bold blue tile, and painted concrete floors create an atmosphere unlike anything else in North Florida. Central heat and air, washer/dryer included, and two full bathrooms make it completely livable and guest-ready.
This property would make an exceptional short-term rental — the kind of listing that generates genuine buzz and commands premium nightly rates simply by being what it is. For W2 earners looking to take advantage of the short-term rental tax loophole, this is the type of unique, in-demand property that makes that strategy work particularly well in a college town with year-round demand.
Owner financing available at reasonable rates. Call for a showing today....
