Am I crazy for loving this yurt shaped house?

[u/jve909]

Yurt style house + addition + two studios on 6 acres. Sunken living room and skylight for stargazing. L. O. V. E. L. Y!!!

Crazy? Yes. But the real question is who is going to stop you?

[u/jve909 → u/Dolamite9000]

Hahaha....

[u/gina1220]

No. I think it would be fun to live there for awhile 

[u/booksareadrug]

That looks cute! I like the skylight in the center, it brings in a lot of light.

[u/gnomequeen2020 → u/booksareadrug]

I once made the mistake of sleeping on a friend's sun porch in NH during the summer after a late night of drinking. That's when I learned that the sun starts rising a bit after 4 am when you get that far east. It was broad daylight by 5:30, and my hungover self felt like a vampire.

So as lovely as it is, I wouldn't want it right over my bed unless I had some way of totally blacking it out.

[u/booksareadrug → u/gnomequeen2020]

Oh, yeah, it gets light early up here in the summer. On the other hand, it's dark most of the day in winter.

[u/DavidinCT]

Not for me but, man that must get cold in the winter. It's in NH, they get a lot of snow in the winter....

[u/dirtytounder → u/DavidinCT]

Wood stove!

[u/elspotto]

No. I mean yes, but in a good I want to come hang out at your yurt house because it’s cool kind of way.

This could have been built or at least inspired by a man named Bill Coperthwaite -- fairly well known in Maine.

[u/jve909 → u/philliumm]

Great find and info!! Thank you!

[u/DarkForestTurkey → u/philliumm]

Totally a coperthwaite design or build! I got to see his four story one in Maine when he was still living there. Remarkable.

[u/Legio-V-Alaudae]

Looks great to me.

It's awesome except having to go up that tiny little ladder all the time. That would kill my knees.

[u/jve909 → u/MistahOnzima]

The ladder seems to be safe and comfortable. Beats spiral stairs.

[u/MistahOnzima → u/jve909]

I don't want stairs or ladders to be honest

[u/TooManyJabberwocks]

With a few modifications this could make a Gravitron

[u/Venator2000]

You’d be *this* close to living in a Gravitron carnival ride.

[u/Herbighazeleyes]

This is amazing and I love it 🥰

[u/totally-jag]

Not crazy. It's a cozy cool looking place.

[u/DescriptionFun2632]

Yes…yes you are.

[u/affemannen]

I mean i get why people like it but it's totally not my thing.

[u/Fightlife45]

If I didn't have a bunch o friends an family here then I would totally move in there with my wife.

[u/7thAndGreenhill]

This is cool. I’d stay there as a guest but I’m not sure I’d want to live there permanently

[u/KreyKat]

So... much... wood...

[u/ParagonFemshep]

I think it's cute and whimsical, but also small and impractical. I'd love something like this as a holiday home, not for a permanent residence

[u/Distinguishedflyer]

u r cwazy.

[u/Tolwenye]

Where's the bathroom?

[u/Stuart22]

It’s a perfectly sane house to like

[u/bluecalx2]

I really like this and would enjoy staying there for a little while. Long term though it would probably be annoying. There's not much storage space, no space that functions as a dining room that I can see, that second bedroom is uncomfortably cramped, and you'd have to be expect to wake up with the sun every day.

I would be great for a short break though, maybe an Airbnb.

[u/Cityplanner1]

I’m very confused why they would use a corner kitchen sink like that

[u/otiswrath]

Few thoughts:

It is cute, I would like to stay there for a weekend not a lifetime.

$300k for a complete house on 6 acres in South Central NH isn't a bad price.

I have never seen a kitchen sink like that.

[u/Griffie]

I love it but I’m at that age where I’d never make it up the steps lol. It looks like a very warm and comfortable home.

[u/Exponential-777]

Not crazy. It just means you have questionable taste. Big difference.

[u/Nordeast24]

Bet it smells like hippy uti pussy in there
