A property next to Washington's Camano Island State Park is on the market for $295,000.
It includes 1.08 acres of surrounding woodland space and access to a private beach nearby.

The buyer of a "whimsical" $295,000 property for sale next to Camano Island State Park, Washington, will not only get to live in a domed tiny home, but also have access to a nearby private beach area and an expanse of woodland to call their own, according to its listing.

A representative for Windermere Real Estate, which listed the property, said its previous owners built the SuperAdobe "earth bag construction" home in 2008, inspired by Iranian-American architect and CalEarth Institute founder Nader Khalili's work.

According to CalEarth's site, this construction style uses earth architecture and long sandbags to build safe, arched or domed homes that pass severe earthquake tests in the state of California.

The home is fitted with two bedrooms, an additional guest bunk, and an outdoor shower and compost toilet, the listing states.
