An iconic local propert♔y built into♚ an ancient rock is seeking a new owner.
In Larkspur, Colorado, a home known as “The Rock House,” whic✨h looks like a home straight out of “The Flintstones,” has hit the market w꧃ith a price tag of $989,900.
Built in 2000, the 24-year-old residence is uniquely nestled around a 45-foot high section of “one of Colorado’s beloved 200 million year old 🍨red rocks,” , which is held by Keller Williams Action Realty LLC’s the Thayer Group.
“It doesn’t really look like a house, from the outside — it looks like a jail,” shared a woman named Karen, who purchased the home with her partner Allen, according to of HGTV’s “Ugliest House in Americ⛄a,” on which the residence was feature♛d.
“This house was built by a gentleman that our neighbors described as ‘bohemian,’” Allen commented in the episode, adding that “The engineering behind this house is a guestimate at best and we talked to 🍒an architect and he said ‘be glad that it’s still standing upright.”
The original🌳 owner, Allen continued, “built a dirt floor so that he could have his own growing going on inside.” As a result of this, and the lack of sub-floor, the ground in the hou🌠se is extremely spongey.
The one-of-a-kind abode offe♛rs a total of 2,432 square feet of living🤪 space spread over four floors and accessed through pergola-covered, custom double iron front doors.
Inside, there’s a mudroom, two bedrooms — a walk-in-closet equipped guest suite and the upsta🌞irs primary suiꦰte with an electric fireplace — two bathrooms, a wine fridge-equipped kitchen, a den, an office, laundry and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape throughout.
As well, there are a variety of outdoor amenities including two decks — both accessed from the third floor and one of them two-tiered — and a large top-floor balcony with a screened-in porch that also serves as a “yoga/fitness/greenhouse,” as the listing describes it.
