I can see the appeal. I also like sunlight though, so might have to put some windows in.
Terrible Estate Agent Photos
Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content
Rules.
This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.

- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
I knew of a house like this in another state and I'm guessing this one was done for the same reason. Hiding from the tax man. Buy some land, build a barn, get it on the tax rolls as an uninhabited structure and finally build your fully functional home inside.
I'm guessing this will be a headache of a sale. The taxes on Zillow didn't make much sense.
I never would have guessed, but that makes a lot of sense now. I'm on board with the theory that it's a big tax scam of some sort.
I was curious about how the zoning works on it. (I also have not a clue how planning permission works in the US)
It doesn't look like any external windows, so maybe it's a "this is technically industrial/farm space, but oh look, there is a bed and a kitchen, fancy that!" sort of deal.
The property tax? I checked a couple other listings of traditional homes around $160k in tbe same town and they showed nothing for taxes with assessed values around $10k which doesn't make any sense to me either.
Huh. That, uh, headboard has some interesting adornments, there, pardner.
What if your "guest" wants to leave early because they don't take well to the wall of crucifixes, the room of animal heads, the whole house in a barn feel or the fact that the neighbours are too far away to hear the screaming? Can't have them running off into the night missing skin now can we?
Can't have them running off into the night missing skin now can we?
God no, that’d be terrible
They'd catch a death of cold.
Had to go back and look. I'm sure those are just assistive.
The horizontal could have easily been covered and I can't imagine it is comfortable to have there, even when not in use.
How much would it cost to heat/cool this big, open warehouse!? Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul spoiler:

It looks like where Mike housed the lab construction crew.
Not counting the cost of the HVAC equipment, probably 3-400 per month. Electricity and natural gas are cheap in this area.
You just bother with climate control on the building in a building.
Hmm, I guess. There's something severely depressing about leaving your home and you still can't see any stars because you're not outside!
Its just a really big garage or porch, if you walk into your garage are you still in your house?
Admittedly if that were my place the inside of the barn itself would look way cooler and be much more organised.
America's obsession with garages has gone too far.
(Also I'm pretty sure that's very illegal.)
Were you born in a barn!?
What the hell did I just watch...
The garages have taken over.
1990s: If you don't do good in school you're gonna live in a van down by the river!
2020's: I'd you take on six figures of undischargable student loan debt and work 3 jobs, you and two other couples could pitch in and buy a million dollar shed to put your van in.
Best comment of the thread so far 😂
Would be amazing for growing lots of weed, caretakers lives inside the shack.
As someone who lusts after Dirk Pitt's studio apartment over a private hangar, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.
Love it!!
