Have you ever wanted to live in an extraordinary and utterly unique home? Well, don't worry because there are plenty of houses for you to choose from. These houses all have some interesting design choices, whether it be the actual house or what's inside. Some of them are even crazy just for the price that the owners expect! Continue reading and be prepared to be wowed by these unbelievable design choices in homes around the nation.
The Sand Castle Without A Moat
Ever wanted to live in a castle? Well, how about a sandcastle? No, how about a sandcastle that has no water surrounding it and looks completely out of place in this lush, green clearing? Well, we found you the perfect place.
This beautiful desert home has everything you want out of it without the drawbacks. No moat that you need to cross with a drawbridge, no dry desert temperatures... actually, no nothing at all. It's just a big, limestone castle out in the middle of nowhere. Have fun!
The Perfect House For An Animaniac
If you love Disney, and you REALLY love Mickey Mouse, why not consider moving into this beautiful home? It's got all the essentials--from Mickey Mouse diner stools to Mickey Mouse silhouette stained glass light shades and even whatever that is on the left there, this house has it all!
We just hope it doesn't have any actual mice scurrying around on the floor. And wouldn't it be funny if this was all just to stage the home? They did spend all that time and money setting it up. It's probably likely they're just going to take it with them. Which might be for the best, anyway.
The Carpet Covers 98% Of The Floor
We're not sure who decided this was a good idea, but... no, there are no buts. This home come fully furnished and fully covered in this god-knows-what carpeting. Seriously, the entire house is covered in this thing. From the outside, it looks alright, but when you go in you'll find that the only parts of this house untouched by this unseemly carpenter job are the kitchen and portions of the bathroom.
That's right, folks, this thing even spills into the bathroom. As if it wasn't bad enough that the bed is also part of the floor, the only parts of the house without carpeting are places that might get wet. Also, the bathtub is built into the ground so that you can soak up this glorious fur at eye level while you relax.
A Little Pricey.
We think this listing would be alright if you're looking for a super cheap home that you can renovate, rebuild, or completely tear down, but... Well, get a load of the price on this thing: AUD $1,051,000.
While that's not quite a million USD, it's still an unbelievable price! This 2 bedroom 1 bath is in no shape to be worth that much. Is the property acres wide? Because it doesn't seem like it's worth it. That being said, it actually got sold back in 2018. Maybe they really trusted that it would be worth the investment.
Another Run Down Property
This one, like the last one, is a property owner's attempt to sell of their property after something tragic befell it. It seems like this one went through a major fire crisis. At least the house is still standing.
Want to know something else? It's not one million dollars! At the humble price of $17,000, this house is just waiting for someone to snatch it up. Well, was waiting. It's off the market, and we probably know why. At a price as low as that, and with a beautiful exterior, it's almost a steal to buy and renovate.
How
This makes us really uncomfortable. Let's not even talk about how someone got one of those '90s 200lb rear-projection TVs onto that tiny little rafter. This is a tragedy waiting to happen. Any natural disaster or even it's own weight will drop that thing straight down onto the couch below it.
But enough about that, what in the world is the design? It's like someone wanted a mix of Rennaisance and fairy tale and came up with this atrocity. On their own, the elements of this room might look nice, but altogether it's a unanimous no from us.
Back-To-School
Running a school or a day camp? Have we got the perfect house for you. This one comes with a full-size gymnasium perfect for anyone looking to shoot some hoops or play floor hockey. It's even got those awesome trundle-style lunch tables!
We're getting serious nostalgia from this, actually. It looks exactly like the gym from the middle school we went to. Could it be?! No, it really is just someone's home. Well, it's not a bad option. It seriously would make for the perfect day camp business.
Red Light District?
We hope you like ballrooms, velvet carpeting, and a room that sets the mood because you're going to get all that and more with this one. We just hope you don't own any bulls because this house is all about the red hues.
We're especially getting major Fifty Shades of Grey vibes from this room. Or should we call it 50 Shades of Red? Either way, this is certainly one home you're gonna want to get if you just can't get enough red. Or you have protanopia colorblindness. Hey, then it really will be fifty shades of gray!
The Real Red Room
If you thought the last one was bad, how about this? A lot of the houses come enrobed in this velvety, red fabric that really sets the room on fire. If you were looking for a real mood stter, this is for you.
Even the bathroom has a fuzzy red toilet cover, a drape for the archway, and a red bathmat. And if red isn't your style, theirs a single room in the house that has actually been done up in purple with black walls. Talk about a love shack.
The House Of A Thousand Names
Another beautiful home ruined by poor design choices. But are we talking about the words and names written all over the place or the furniture? You'll never know. And we'll never tell.
On the bright side, the names on the ceiling give a nice summer camp feel to it. It reminds us of the bunks with everyone signing "blank was here". It also goes to show just how many people were able o enjoy this place, which is always a good 'sign' (as always, pun intended).
What Is Happening Here
We're not even sure what to call this one. It's just a clutter of art and styles and so, so much more. It's like the designer has never heard of editing down their work. It's all just too much, really.
We feel a lot of this stuff could be sold at the flea market, no offense. It's just when you throw all this stuff together it kinda looks like you've walked into a Michael's that just had a tornado run through it.
Inception
Are we outside? Are we inside? It's a house within a house. A house that's outside, but inside at the same time. Houseception. Whatever you want to call it, it's certainly something.
It also looks like the property of a child. Maybe it is? Maybe some kid was born into wealth and decided to make all their wildest dreams come true. It's impressive, we'll give it that.
Doll House
Sometimes staging is a necessary thing that homeowners and real estate agents do to make a house more presentable. Whatever this is, it's definitely not that. We don't have any idea what this is.
No joke, every single foot of the house has a mannequin standing somewhere. Every picture of this house, every semblance of a home is completley taken over by these lifeless statues. We're hoping someone here is a fashion designer.
How Is This Okay
All things considered, we don't think this would actually be the worst place to live. It seems pretty cosy, and we're sure someone out there would take nice care of it. Better care than whoever put this up for sale.
Seriously, why is it okay to just throw up a picture like this and expect people to be interested? We can see they tried to clean up, but, obviously, they gave up halfway through. Maybe next time they want to sell their home they should hire a cleaner.
Just A Slice
While it makes up for the width by being super long, you can't help but wonder who designed this house. There are plenty of things you can do with a plot that's long that doesn't involve housing, such as a public walk-through garden.
Though maybe the whole city is plotted with longer and narrower lots. And while it does actually look rather pretty, Instagram user homeownermemes summarizes it perfectly: "I don't think I'm skinny enough for this house."
This one's really cool if you like living by the sea. While it's not exactly the most impressive house you'll see, this lighthouse-shaped house really fits the nautical theme.
Although the stairs you see there is about fifty percent of the house, we're sure it would make a nice cosey abode.
DIY House
This is what you get when you go to a pottery and blow your ceramic piece up to life-size proportions. As cool as it might be from afar, imagine living in a giant inverted coffee mug glued to other such ceramic vessels.
To be fair, if an old woman could live in a shoe, then we assume living in any sort of giant household item couldn't be so bad either. It's not what you have, it's what you make out of it. It is pretty, though. And it kind of looks like the buildings in Spongebob, so we give it some extra points there, too.
Another DIY
This house is surprisingly similar, though a bit more reminiscent of Majin Buu's house from Dragon Ball Z. That one might be a bit too specific for some of you, but if you get it you get it.
It's actually quite pretty despite that. This would actually make a great place to stay if you wanted to get away from regular society. Geez the more we talk about it, the more it sounds like Majin Buu's house. If you're a nature lover, but would rather live indoors than out, this is the perfect home for you.
A Little Privacy, Please
Not that you're going to get much privacy here at all. In what is surely going to be one of the oddest design choices on this list (and that's saying something), we have the open-plan bathroom at your service.
The only thing here that's giving you any privacy is a small slab of opaque (maybe semi-translucent is a better word), partially frosted glass. It's not even fully frosted, you can basically see through it. And that shower isn't even the least bit opaque. Let's hope you aren't bathroom shy.
Indoor Pool
There's indoor pool, and then there's this. This house is basically a pool house turned into an actual home, not a house with an additional pool added on. Like it doesn't even have its own dedicated room.
It does make for an awesome attraction though. Need to wake up? Just hop in from your second-floor room! Feeling a bit bored? Step out and right into your living room! We just hope they aren't using chlorine to keep it sanitized because it cannot be good to be breathing those fumes all around the house.
Triangular
This one isn't so much about the interior as it is the exterior. And specifically the roof. We know it's a bit of an odd thing to be nitpicky about, but... well, just have a look at what's going on here:
The many skylights that this house comes with are surely a nice addition to the living space, but, from the top, it looks like someone went a bit trigger happy with the trigonometry (we will never give up the pun shenanigans!!).
Watch Your Head
You probably won't notice what's going on with this one right away, but take a closer look. If you still don't see it, then look closely at the distance between the top of the door and the ceiling.
Listen, if you're approaching the seven-foot range, stay away!! The ceilings in this house are so low that your pre-teen kid could probably touch it with little more than a hop. We're not sure who designed this, but we think they might have been hobbits.
A Real Hobbit's Home
Speaking of hobbits, can you spot the house in this one? No, it is not the set of yurts in the background. It's the one just barely peaking out next to the driveway circle! Pretty neat, wouldn't ya say?
With this house, no one can judge your exterior design! Unless, of course, they find it completely weird that you're basically living under the ground. Which, in all fairness, is a little bit strange. But hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
This Modern Marvel
While we can't deny that this house is beautiful, it's just a weird choice to build your house with stairs like that. Too steep to climb up just one side, your going to have to shift between each flight to climb.
They're beautiful, for sure, but it just seems like a lot of problems come with them. You're going to have to be a healthy fit individual to get up those stairs, and you might have to stretch to grab the handrail. And you better not have arthritis.
The Antique Kitchen
Chests of drawers are awesome, aren't they? They're so classy and antique and adds the perfect charm to any dining room. Well, the folks over at this home loved them so much that they made their whole kitchen a chest of drawers.
Instead of drawers, however, you get a fully integrated oven and a hideaway microwave complete with a spice rack. Because who doesn't love to make their whole kitchen inaccessible and a huge fire hazard?
The Hawaii Dream House. Er, Apartment. Storage Room...Thing.
Ahh, Hawaii, one of the most beautiful islands the world has to offer. Unless you happen to live here, which, if you have this kind of money to spend, you don't. Seriously, this is a glorified storage room.
At 88 square feet, you're probably not going to fit more than a bed and a couple of belongings in here. And at $156,591, you're going to be spending almost $1,800 per square foot. Honestly, this place isn't even worth it as a storage space.
Another Storage Room Thing, But Better
This is, thankfully, (unlike the last one) not the whole place. This is part of a whole unit on a beach in Oceanside, California. It makes us wonder, then, why anyone would bother turning this into a guest room when there is plenty of space.
Unless you're Harry Potter (which you are not), there's no way you're going to sleep in this closet. As convenient as it might seem to sleep amongst your clothes, it just doesn't make any sense at all. There's no room for anything else, and, well, it's literally a closet. Come on.
Haunted House
This beautiful home was once occupied by a lovely couple until the day it became haunted and guarded 24-hours by a swarm of sentient dolls. At least, that's how we feel about it.
Although some of the dolls here look a little friendly, we really hope they're out of there by the time anyone goes to see the place. It's honestly really creepy that they're all lined up like that in the fireplace. Was someone trying to burn them? Let's hope so.
We Only Have One Question
Does it come with the horse? No? Okay, that is all. Just kidding, there are plenty more questions. Like, what is this horse doing in the house, anyway? Shouldn't it be in the great outdoors?
Okay, well even if you brought her in for a bit of fun, why is she in the picture? To raise the interest in the house? Feels like clickbait to us. We demand that the horse stays with the house. Don't worry, we're trained and will take perfect care of this little mare.
The Coffin House
yet another hobbit house. Okay, we'll admit it, this picture is a little bit deceiving. The door is obviously accessible; no one is dumb enough to bury a house or sell one that can't be entered. That being said, this house is basically completely underground.
Want to know something that makes it even better? The house has a built-in prison. That's right. There's a room made up of jail bars hidden behind one of those big, metal nuclear fallout doors. It almost makes you wonder if burying the house would make it easier to hide someone. Let's not think about it.
Is This A Hotel?
This feels like something from one of those themed hotels. Like maybe a western or Latin American-esque design. Honestly, we don't know. Interior design isn't our job, but we know that this is definitely not the norm.
But, hey, if you feel like getting a bit of a getaway from the traditional or modern household, look no further. It's a choice, but one we're sure someone would be happy to accept.
The Elephant In The Room
Okay, you have a lovely house with a nice interior design and hardwood floors...But what's up with that half elephant dining room table there? Can we talk about that? Did you ask the kids to pick something out for you at the furniture store?
Sometimes it's not the house that's questionable, but rather the taste of the individual(s) living there. It just seems really out of place that the one thing in this house that's wrong is that table! We just want to know why!!
Trap House
Stairs can be scary. They take you really high up and if you slip you can really hurt yourself. Thing is, that's typically unrealistic for the average, healthy person. But in this house, it's a whole other story.
These stairs are steep, narrow, metal, and have no handrails or any other space to put your feet other than those little bicycle petal-like platforms. Sounds like a dangerous game they're playing. And what's more, they have a perfectly normal pair of stairs towards the other end of the house.
Puppy Lovers
If you're someone who trains dogs, competes with your dog, or just loves having them as pets, then this is the perfect house for you. Complete with both an indoor gymnasium and an outdoor pet park, your pooch is sure to have a good time.
Of course, you can always get the house without having a dog or doing any training with them. We just don't see how you'll pull off using this space to your advantage or even demolishing the thing. It must have cost a small fortune.
House Of Mirrors
If you thought that bathroom was bad, at least someone can turn around while you do your business. Not so much here. If you so much as pick your nose, the person in this room with you is going to see.
It's hard to understand why anybody would want to sleep in a room full of mirrors, especially the ones situated at the back there with all the slats in between. We guess the extra security is nice. But we also feel that this would be very disorienting at the wrong angle.
This Shade Of Green And Other Choices
There's something about making your floors and walls the same color that just really screams "don't do this!" We don't think the interior designers here got the memo. Or maybe they did, but the owners didn't care.
We'll just up and say it: that is the color of puke. And while that may help when someone actually upchucks onto the floor, it's super unappealing in general. Also, notice that the door opens inward for some reason (the hinges give it away). Opening the door blocks the stairs. Odd choices all across the board.
The Grass Is Always Greener
We honestly didn't think we were going to see another bathtub built directly into the floor. While we only mentioned it before, here you can see exactly what we meant. Is this some sort of trend that we haven't heard of?
Now let's talk about the floor. Astroturf is amazing for places that you want grass to grow, but don't want the color to fade during the seasonal shift nor have to maintain its length. Is the bathroom inside really the right place for that? Oh and upon closer inspection, what's up with that window back there?
Hunter's Lodge
That's a lot of taxidermies. How much game has this person hunted? Every single room of this house is just full of animal fur and wall-mounted plaques. And this seems to be the baby's playroom as well.
We're wondering how good it is to surround your child with dead animals. Obviously, there are people who hunt and put their catch up on the wall, but this is taking it to a whole new level. We get it, you're good at hurting animals. Must we know how many?
Monochrome
Spotless. Absolutely spotless. This entire house is completely made up of white walls and ceilings and, aside from the kitchen table and chairs, everything is made of this stainless steel. It kind of looks like a high-end bunker.
And that's not a joke. Everything from the kitchen appliances to the bathroom tub (and yes, the toilets, too) are completely cast from stainless steel. It's one big monochromatic house throughout. And there's not a single spot of dirt. It's almost too perfect.
Harry Potter House
You mentioned him once before, but now we think we found the real Harry Potter house. Built completely under a staircase to the docks, this house really makes use of the space that it was plotted into.
Honestly, this is a genius idea. Instead of making a giant wooden staircase mess of a structure, the architect decided to build a house as the base. Now, not only is there access to the pier, but a family can live right along the water! What a beautiful idea.
Down The Rabbit Hole
A nice house, but with one glaring issue: it's built on the side of a cliff. We don't think that it was meant to be built this close to the edge as, judging by the pattern of the dirt, it seems to be slowly wearing away over time.
Regardless of the reason, this has to be the most anxiety-inducing house on the market. In a few year's time, rainfall is just going to completely degrade the cliff and this house will start to fall into the water below. We hope you have good insurance.
The Escher House
This house reminds us of a giant Escher drawing come to life. Full of stairs, mirrors, and panels cut out of the walls, the house truly looks like it was built in a zero-gravity environment.
And if that wasn't enough for you, there's painting and furniture for days that really crowds up the whole house and uses every possible inch of space. We hope you aren't claustrophobic or get disoriented easily.
Over-Decorated
Okay, now we really hope you aren't claustrophobic. Remember what we said about editing down the number of things you put into your house? Well, this person clearly didn't get the memo either.
Every inch of space in this house is truly dedicated to having something on it. You won't find a blank wall or empty room anywhere. It's truly madness walking into this space. The waxed hardwood floors really add a certain shine, however.
Green Thumb
We think the people who lived here either had or planned to have an indoor garden because that wallpaper definitely seems to be styled after a lattice garden archway. We could be wrong, but what else could it be?
There are a lot of sins that can be made with wallpaper, and this is no exception. It's certainly a cute effort, and maybe had some charm back in the '80s, but right now it just doesn't seem to fit properly.
Tree Hugger
As if the last one wasn't crazy enough, this house has a whole tree growing into the home! Maybe the architect or construction workers happened to be environmentalists because there's no way the house wasn't built around this.
It might have actually been nice if not for the precarious position the tree is in. It looks like you have to really wiggle your way around it to do stuff in your kitchen. Maybe try building a conservatory next time. At least they'll never run out of oxygen.
Miner's Home
We're honestly not sure if the house cam built onto a mineshaft, or if the owners decided to start mining into the cliff face themselves. Either way, it's quite a strange thing to do with a home.
Maybe it'll be worth it if they can find some precious materials to sell off and pay their mortgage. Or maybe this whole project is simply a hobby. Oh, are they building a bat cave?? Doubtful, but the ideas are endless.
Perfectly Splendid
This tri-color home is perfectly designed to fit a very geometrically inclined individual. If you love perfecting things and keeping everything nice and tidy, then you'll love this one.
Although it kind of gives us major anxiety, it's unquestionably a very clean look for a home. It's clear that whoever designed this had a very clear vision in mind and although the color scheme is also a little questionable, it looks good and can probably be done up in any color combination.
Razor Thin
Another thin house, but with a twist. The entirety of this house is built upon a stabilizer that's razor-thin. Just look at that! if you look at the back of this house, you'll see an extra room just hanging off there.
As beautiful as it is, this modern house's biggest achievement has to be the architecture. It's thin, modern, and completely crazy. And though the inside is only wide enough for a couple of pairs of stairs, the house stretches on to give plenty of room.
The Great Indoors
As if some of the other houses on this list didn't have some ridiculous additions, this house has a rock climbing wall right in the living room! Not even a dedicated room for rock climbing, just the living room.
On the bright side, you can get a great workout and then plop down on your couch for some well-needed rest! Though, just make sure you don't try to rappel down because you might just bang your head on the ceiling fan.
The Jungle
If the last one wasn't enough for you then what about this? The whole house happens to also have a very outdoorsy theme, but they took a much different approach this time around.
If you've always wanted to live in a jungle or be enveloped by ancient history, why not try this home? With jungle leaves everywhere and stone that seems inspired by the Aztecs, you'll feel like you're right at home. If you're a lion, that is.
