Nestled atop a cliff in the picturesque Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, The Sassafras Dome Earth Home offers a one-of-a-kind off-grid living experience with breathtaking views. This remarkable dome home was constructed as part of DIY’s “Building Off-Grid” series, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity involved in building this unique dwelling. The house features a spacious living and kitchen area, a luxurious bedroom, and a connecting bathroom, providing a comfortable and luxurious retreat in the heart of nature.
The outdoor space of The Sassafras is equally impressive, featuring a rock fire pit on the main level and a special ledge on the cliff where guests can enjoy a stone tub with unparalleled views. Positioned at the top of a rock cliff overlooking an old quarry pond, the location offers a serene and secluded atmosphere, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. The house itself is a super stylish underground dome earth structure, inviting guests to “unplug” from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the surroundings.
As part of the 34-acre Waterstone wedding venue and retreat, The Sassafras is complemented by two additional Artisan structures available for rent: The Bostonian and The Greek Cottage. Each structure exudes its own character and charm, contributing to the overall appeal of the property. Guests are encouraged to explore these unique accommodations, and the entire construction process of The Sassafras and The Greek Cottage was featured on DIY’s “Building off the Grid,” providing an inside look at the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating these extraordinary dwellings. The Sassafras is not just a place to stay; it’s a destination that harmonizes with nature, offering an unforgettable experience for those seeking a tranquil escape.
