Wacky property listings that’ll leave you scratching your head

Perplexing Properties

Anyone who’s ever house hunted knows that there are some pretty wacky properties out there. But there’s regular-grade wacky, and there’s what-in-heaven’s-name-is-going-on-here wacky, and the properties in this list belong to the latter. From mansions with mind-blowing architecture and smaller homes with baffling design choices to listings that employ an Elvis impersonator for photos (nope, not kidding), here are the strangest real estate listings we could find on the internet.

The Missile Base House

Eskridge, Kansas

$1.6 million

While it’s pretty unassuming-looking out there in the middle of nowhere, we’re not even sure where to start when conveying the absolute insanity of this property. From the drum circle platform and the hallway filled with international news stories to the missile control silo room and the front-yard castle turret, this home for sale east of Kansas City is pretty out there. But don’t take our word for it — scroll through the 87 photos in the listing to see it for yourself.

The Car House

Roanoke, Texas

$8 millionIf you’ve got a few cool million burning a hole in your pocket as well as a burning love of all things car-related, this is the home for you. The 10-acre property includes “car lifts, a paint application booth, a tire changer, and antique memorabilia galore,” as well as a two-bedroom house that is also filled with automotive-themed details like a bathroom sink fashioned around a motorcycle apparatus. The property also has a tiered pool, outdoor kitchen area, a 10-car garage, separate “entertaining house,” and a glass repair center.

The Indoors Is Outdoors House

New Berlin, Wisconsin

$1.75 million

With rock walls, indoor ponds, plants galore, and flora and fauna nature-inspired motifs running throughout this home, it’s fair to say that anyone who doesn’t love camping probably isn’t going to give this property a second look. Still, with six bedrooms, six baths, and a 17-plus acre lot with hiking paths, a stocked lake, and — inexplicably — a restored Humvee included in the sale, it does have its, err, charms?

The Blue House

Palm Springs, California

$529,000

Innocuous and decidedly beige in its exterior, this house explodes into a serious dedication to anything cerulean-hued upon entering, including in carpet, furnishings, and out-there wallpaper patterns that match the home’s textiles. There are also some fun details like beds that are lit from underneath (all furnishings are included with the sale), indoor palm trees, and more.

The Stadium-and-Train House

Blairstown, New Jersey

$700,000We know that real estate agents often gloss over the more, err, unique aspects of a home, but to include photos of a room with a massive Giants Stadium replica and then not say anything about it in the description? So while we’re not entirely sure what the backstory is here, the stadium replica appears to be in its own outbuilding, and if you’re a Giants fan who also harbors a thing for trains — well, let’s just say you’ve found your dream home.

The Graceland Lite House

Ball Ground, Georgia

$2 million

On the one hand, with this nearly 3,300-square-foot house, you get a “lush farmland estate boasting 1,400 feet [of] Etowah River frontage, 82 acres, [and] multiple fenced pastures.” On the other hand, you’ve also purchased the home of an Elvis impersonator who apparently insisted on posing in most of the home’s listing photos. Or the home where the listing agent thought it was a good idea to bring an Elvis impersonator in on picture day — we’re not sure but either way, it’s weird.

The Underground House

Las Vegas

$5.9 million

If you woke up this morning thinking, “I’d like to live in Sin City but make sure I soak up as little of that desert sunshine as possible,” have we got the house for you. This five-bedroom, six-bathroom property has more than 2,300 square feet of underground living space featuring fake trees, murals, grass-like carpet, an indoor pool where you won’t ever get a tan, and many, many other strange details that leave you wondering what kind of a person would buy such a thing.

The Technicolor Casitas

Taos, New Mexico

$1.9 millionThis house also looks mostly normal until you get to the last three photos, which we’re guessing depict the two casitas that the listing notes are “hand-painted by Taos’ own Jim Wagner.” With pink floors, purple ceilings, green walls, and multi-colored muraled walls, they certainly wouldn’t be for anyone who was afraid of a splash — actually, make that a deluge — of color.
