I probably would too, but the resemblance to a shelter you would have expected to see in someone's garden in London in the 1940s was too fun not to share.
More of a traditional New Mexico Pueblo apartment, especially with the ladder, Adobe and vigas. Check out Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Bandelier National Monument or Taos Pueblo.
Love how their write up is “Cash flow like crazy with the ultimate Airbnb/VRBO.”
It looks like a playhouse pueblo inside that’s probably an actual pueblo. I’d bet this is a fairly expensive place around Santa Fe or something like that.
I like the fake waterfall in the pool. It's like they told the contractor they wanted a real waterfall and there wasn't room, so he came up with a creative solution.
I kept scrolling through thinking whoever designed this was definitely not responsible for cleaning. The sheer despair I would feel if I had to dust all those rock surfaces!
I do prefer my living room not feeling like the interior of a zoo terrarium, even from the outside. I also like flat floors without pebbles.
A lot of the details of the house are lovely in isolation, that's just a lot going on, and I don't want to know how you clean the faux-rock surface.
The shelter was to help you survive things like shrapnel from a nearby blast. Not to mention not having a house collapse on you. They weren't meant to be bomb-proof.
I know there were also brick ones, not just because my image searching tells me so, but because I have an old photo of one my grandparents and father had in London before that house (and 2 others they had at other times) was destroyed in a bombing. It was the only photo of any part of that house they had.
Lmao… all I can think of is YABA daba DOOOOO! The whole time I was looking at the other pictures I’m reminded of the Flintstones… I was also humming the intro song in my head… lots of bedrock! Haha

Okay but kid me would've loved having that

Yeah, I spent a good amount of my time as a kid in the crawlspace and in homemade box forts. I'd have loved an actual cave to hang out in!

Put some string lights and other decorations, it'll look quite cozy

That’s what confused me about this. I guess I know nothing about British air raid bunkers. But to me that looks more like a Pueblo than a bunker.

It's much weirder than that - it's a bizarre take on an adobe mixed with modern house, in Wisconsin. The Zillow link is in the post.

Whoa. I was thinking it was a cute idea if a bit over the top. My thought process was:
Oh, that’s kinda cool. Probably some yuppie couple or grandparents in Santa Fe.
Oh my god that is atrocious tragedy
Okay, this is amazingly bad. Borderline so bad it’s good. It’s like someone was trying to be quirky, but somehow lacked the skill.
How many fucking beds are there? What is this, a cult?
Oh, AirBnB. That explains everything.
Also$1.5M buys you a shitload of house in Wisconsin.

That's a house that they built exactly how they wanted. Selling be damned, and now they have to sell it.
I also wonder what all our clicks do to the analytics. "wow, my house is popular! I can sell it for more!" Nah man, we were just laughing at it.

Picture 1 to 7 look normal enough, then it just becomes a theme park zone backdrop for mine cart ride

but i would've killed for sth like that as a kid
(i did kinda build my own bomb shelter out of huge ass bricks that were laying around, only supported by it's own weight and heavy ceiling)

I kinda dig it. I realise it's not to everyone's taste, but I like it.

This community is teaching me that custom everything is not actually a good idea. At least not when it comes to reselling.

No, that's where the cave man lives. Did you not noticed him be mentioned in the property description?

In what world would that be a bomb shelter? It looks like a little play house. You wouldn't have wood beams and windows in a bomb shelter
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
Meanwhile, in Wiltshire...
tiredofsametab@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
That at least doesn't have a lot of wood to catch fire. I guess if there's steel plating or something to close that window it makes sense

I used to play in one in my Grandmothers back garden in North London.

A quick seal-up job on that and you've got a part of the house that'll survive the next decade
