Sleeps 16! Newly renovated! 6,000+ sqft! Indoor pool in your very own gymnasium building! Apparently great for doomsday preppers for some reason! What’s not to love?
Ok so I don’t love whatever this thing is. It gives me creepy basement entrance vibes that don’t fit.
I like ceiling elephant if stuff has to be there at all, but the rest of the cave drawings…
(You may recognize this house from a comment on my prior post, cuz I wasn’t really thinking about posting this one separately, but hey might as well liven the place up)
This is the perfect property for me to start my cult!
It honestly really is.
I love opinionated homes like this. Everybody shits on things like “agreeable beige” and “acceptable gray” but it’s because it’s sort of okay with everyone. Even if this look isn’t for you, it’s definitely for someone. I’d hardly be willing to do this to my home unless I was truly certain it would be my forever home because I know to sell it in any sort of timely manner I’d need to rip a lot of it out.
Dust… Dust everywhere.
It screams vacation rental when a property like this has a galley kitchen like that. What a shame. I kinda enjoy this kitschy bullshit.
Yeah 6BR and the game room support this. Themed houses like this are relatively common on VRBO.
This seems very inspired by the Wisconsin Dells. But anyone who wants a strongly themed vacation rental can just drive the hour and a half to the dells and have access to all the tourist activities. I don’t understand the reasoning for making a place like this in a non-touristy area.
To entertain the sister-wives?
Edit: at second glance, it’s likely to train the militia in the art of camouflage. “Always expect the unexpected!”
Yeah that’s exactly what this is.
That big room is like someone designed a terrarium for humans without entirely knowing what humans are.
That great room kinda rules. Maybe a fun rental, but living there I fell like I’d get sick of it pretty fast.
Ok so I don’t love whatever this thing is. It gives me creepy basement entrance vibes that don’t fit.
That’s one part I’m totally cool with. It’s clearly a playhouse and loft bed for kids. I would have loved it. Actually, I would have loved the whole place, but that in specific I would have loved.
Huge potential. Get in on the ground floor. Apocalypto is permanently playing on loop in the background. Tremors strike the building daily and gunshots can be heard. No low ball offers, I know what I got.
I feel like this would be great for any aspiring or burgeoning cult leader. I might be willing to start my own cult of sorts with an investment like this, but the laundry room could use some work.
Laundry room? There are three sets of laundry units on this property! Sharing and taking turns is totally over-rated. (But good luck tracking down your underpants…)
Make your cultists do their own laundry (and yours; you ARE supposed to be the leader…). Then it doesn’t matter if the rooms are shit. You’ll never know.
I’m screaming. It’s perfect. I want it so bad, but it’s so expensive. How come rich people get to live in zoo enclosures? How come rich people get to live in natural history museums? Fuck you, I wanna live there. Literally me_irl:
But this is a museum that is never going to be accredited with any association, ever. Isn’t that kinda comforting, in a way?
For sale: Some ruins
Is it an automatic lock-in?
(I expect 2 brits to get this)
Tooooo the Crystal Doooooome!!
That’s the spirit!
Get the crystal!
Half the posts on this comm, I just think to myself I’d love the place. Guess we know which type of person builds them in the first place 🤷
I legit like the rainforest living room but the rest can go
Party on the inside. Barn on the outside.
Nestled on 17 secluded acres, this is the ultimate retreat experience. Boasting a private lake for fishing, indoor pool, and game room, it’s a haven for relaxation and recreation. With 10-foot chain link fencing, privacy is paramount, ideal for investors, preppers, or those seeking a primary or secondary home. Sleeping 16, the custom home features high-end appliances, three sets of washer/dryers, and wildlife views aplenty. Enjoy outdoor living with a gazebo, beach, and fire pits, perfect for gatherings under the stars. Recent $400k renovations enhance its allure. With parking for 40 cars, invite friends and family for unforgettable weekends. Just 90 min from Chicago and 15 min from Milwaukee, escape the city without sacrificing convenience.
$400K renovations to make a pre-historic Rainforest Cafe-themed compound? “Look, we’re different from other cults. We have a theme and just like to get a little silly here at Corporate Retreat Hell. We just want you to relax and have fun, but if you break any of the rules, we’ll shove a hot coal in your mouth and lock you in the bedroom adobe naughty cellar.”
It would make a pretty good dinosaur-themed park for kids. Put up some wire frame or animatronic sculptures, have a little train that goes around the 10 acres. Have a big dirt pit where kids can dig for bones. They would love it.
You could probably run this as short term vacation rental and come out profitable.
Probably what the previous owner did, and then got sick of dealing with it.
