30 Times Real Estate Listings Surprised People By Being ‘Extra’ (New Pics)
Zillow, Zillow on the wall, who’s the weirdest of ‘em all? Welcome to the bizarre corner of a holy database that brings more than 110M US homes for sale, for rent, and for your eyerolls. ‘Cause some of them take craziness to a whole new level with things like a mushroom house unit that makes you wonder what on earth the architect was smoking, or a house that has so many windows, it’s basically one giant window, no questions asked.
And there’s an Instagram account loved by 1 million followers that collects the best of the bottom worst houses, objects, and architectural wonders found on Zillow. Welcome to “Zillow Gone Wild,” the internet’s home of no taste and abundance of money.
So let’s see how the rich got their houses sorted in what’s probably one of the most miscellaneous collections out there. Psst! More Zillow Gone Wild content can be found in our previous post right here.

Welcome Home. $8,500,000. 6 Bd, 11 Ba. 10,500 Sf. 5.11 Acres
Hahahahaha I was planning to make it in Sims tonight hahaha
Load More Replies...Well, if it takes 30 minutes to walk from one end of the house to another, you might need a pit stop along the way.
Load More Replies...As a violinist I absolutely LOVE this house. Can somebody lend me 8.5 million?
Seeing such large real estates, always reminds me of an old Dutch TV commercial: A guy is running through a huge house, through several rooms. After some time he stops running, and seems devastated. After he turns around, you see a large wet spot forming in his pants, and a text blends in: “Lotto – The greatest risk to become a millionaire” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWmcl50hsTU
People who can afford this kind of house, don't tend to do their own cleaning.
Load More Replies...That’s the guitar-in-the-garden coincidence? Oh, it’s a Violine.
$3,777,000
Looks like a group of hobbits got together and decided to live in a commune.
To Continue Today’s Interesting Theme Here’s The “Pie House”. Was Listed At $269,900. 2 Bd, 2.5 Bath. 1,122 Sf
Is that trick photography or does that house actually look somewhat spacious inside?
The title says 'Pie House', so I guess it's somewhat of a triangle form, and the outdoors photo shows only the 'pointy' end. Nice misdirection.
Load More Replies...oh, wait, this one is famous. Heard that there was a divorce story. Husband gave his ex wife very narrow piece of land which made impossible to build anything, but she found a way. Just in front of his windows. Found this: Built in 2003, on an oblong plot of land in Deerfield, Illinois, the Pie House has become somewhat of a local tourist attraction, with people stopping by regularly just to take pictures of the unusually narrow building. Famous for its unique shape, the Pie House was born out of necessity, as developer Greg Weissman of Advantage Properties tried to make the best of an oblong piece of land only 0.09 acres in size, which is unusually small for the suburbs. Despite one of the walls being only 3-feet-wide, the Pie House turned out quite cozy, and ended up selling for little over $284,000 in 2007.

Load More Replies...Looks like a normal sized townhouse house just longer version then wider, very nice though
Previously, we talked to the creator behind the internet-famous “Zillow Gone Wild” Instagram page, who preferred to stay anonymous. The idea for the account came after they spotted too many crazy houses being featured on Zillow. The Instagrammer said it was things “like homes with bowling alleys, indoor pools, jail cells, and one particular home had a mining shaft,” that caught their eye and took the listing craziness to new heights.
Love The Outside Vibe Tbh. #zgwmansionmondays. $2,395,000. 5 Bd, 6 Ba. 6,404 Sf
Mine! Giant bookshelves and medievalism...You would never get me out of this house.
This place makes me think there are secret passageways and hidden attics in here.
You’ll Never Leave Home Now. $1,150,000. 2 Bd, 1 Ba. 1,209 Sf
That last room makes me think how dusty it's going to get.
Load More Replies...Never would I ever spend $1+million dollars on a home with only one bathroom!
Other than Prof Trelawney's purple attic room this seems like a very normal, small house. Where the heck is it located that it's worth over $1,000,000?
Ummmmm. $225,000
Saw an article on this. Did the job and generated second looks at the photos and subsequently viewings. Cool, practical idea.
According to the author of “Zillow Gone Wild,” these out-of-the-box house designs are the product of people with a “combination of taste and money.” The Instagrammer also confessed to being honestly surprised at “how many people have built actual castles and how many insanely large mansions there are in places like Utah and Ohio.”
$11,500,000. 10 Bd, 19 Ba. 30,843 Sf
Did that say '19 baths' ?! Also, when you go to bed at night 'Honey, can you pull up the drawbridge? I'm heading to bed."
Wait... not everyone has a drawbridge?!
Load More Replies...Thank you. The rock bluff in behind the house is quite nice, but the rest is just blecch.
Load More Replies...Welcome To Your New Maximum Chill Oasis. $2,500,000. 5 Bd, 5 Ba. 8,078 Sf
Yeah.... let me just hide this from my boyfriend...... oh whatever, looks like we're moving in.
Wouldn't you always smell chlorine though? Its fine if the bedroom wasn't open like that
For those who can't swim/don't like water, this could be good for shooting a horror
What Are We Even Doing Anymore. $1,995,995. 5 Bd, 4 Ba. 3,294 Sf
Tell me this is In Memphis, and the website has "Walkin' in Memphis" playing when you click on the listing.
you got it all wrong, Elvis is the one for sale. he just wants to show you his house
When we last covered “Zillow Gone Wild” in our previous post three months ago, it had 525k followers. Since then, its audience of followers has boomed and it now has reached a solid 1M. With 389 posts to date, the account offers a much-needed cringe that reminds us that money will indeed get you everything, except taste.
Not A Normal #zgwmansionmondays Home By Price But Def By Size. $1,599,000. 6 Bd, 5 Ba. 5,900 Sf
I love the bright colors. Especially the pink dining room with all the windows and the teal living room with polka dot ceiling.
even the carpet that looked like it was used to murder Jackson Pollock?

My first thought was that this was built by a 20's mobster.
Load More Replies...This is the one I would buy... you know, when I become a billionaire....
Honestly this should be higher. This is so great. Like the old movies in the 30’s where there is a proper house or penthouse on the roof.
Welcome Gnome. $809,000
Scrolling along. Not so bad. Huh, this is super normal. Then 'aghhhh!' Dang that's a lot of gnomes!
This Feels Like A Dream. $1,895,000
If the bedspread isn't included I'm gonna have to pass.
Load More Replies...I think so too. I was ready to move in until I saw the psychedelic room.
Load More Replies...This looks like one of the houses they remodelled a while back on one of those log cabin living or similar shows. The door hiding the stairs thing. I like it even knowing I would likely strip the painted stuff back to bare wood
I'm definitely into the "whimsical 90s" color scheme. And the painted doorframes!
Another One? $758,000
It's probably Binky. Death just stopped by for a drink.
Load More Replies...The house and the kitchen look good. The golddigger is...okay. But then I saw the horse sceletton!
This is cute I would totally live here. Much cheaper than pretty much everything round where we live currently
Someone is going to fall in love with this place and be very happy to get it. That kitchen has to go, though.
The only bit I liked was the wee silhouette of the guy panning for gold, and I'm not usually a big fan of silhouette art
This Listing Wins The Internet Lol. $144,900
This is the most normal house on this list. Definitely not winning any internet
I could have sworn I've seen this house on a british property show.

You Can Also Be The President. $2,475,000
This is, I think, is political pollster’s Frank Lutz’s house or is another one w an exact, Oval Office replica built in. I know of 3 in the US. He does interviews about the room on occasion.
The Outlet In The Bedroom Is #zgwmansionmondays. $5,950,000. 6 Bd, 5 Ba. 8,462 Sf. 85 Acres
I kind of like this one. It has a sort of "2001: A Space Odyssey" vibe about it.
Pretty cool to have so many curves inside a house. That coffee table, though...I'd have permanently bruised shins.
I Honestly Have No Idea What Is Happening Here. (No Front Pic Of The Home Either) $11,000,000. 5 Bd, 6 Ba. 7,000 Sf
Tony Stark’s second Miami home after the first one got destroyed, no wonder he’d like to keep it anonymous.
They like to gamble and dance, I'm guessing. I don't know what to say about the raining pool, though.

Or disabled, or just lazy? Then again by the time you've walked from East wing to west wing, who wants to take stairs too
Load More Replies...Individually the decor is actually quite beautiful. So intricate and so many details, like the outside of the lift and the railings, and the windows. But they went overboard trying to do too much, and the end result is kind of a mess. I’d have a permanent headache living here! Too much going on.
It’s A Lifestyle. $535,000. 3 Bd, 2 Ba. 2,172 Sf
Everything about this place screams 'the 70's', which isn't all that bad if you want it for nostalgia's sake.
It looks cool. Reminds me of the log cabin one waits in before the safari.
I’m Dizzy. $6,450,000. 4 Bd, 5 Ba. 7,390 Sf

The most interesting thing here is the colourful hand-blown glass installation. That, and the armchair in the closet.
Nothing like a house listing of mansions to show how little taste some rich people have.
It's actually a beautiful house but I can't help but think it would be a nightmare to take care of--all the dusting you'd have to do. I guess if you can afford the house you can afford the housekeepers.
I Know It’s #zgwmansionmonday But This Couldn’t Wait. $225,000. 1 Bd, 1 Ba. 1,540 Sf
This house is clearly from 1953. Colour tv wasn't invented until 1954.

The Colors. $675,000
Apparently, before gas lighting paint colour was often much bolder to make an impact in candlelight. Apparently Jefferson's country house was redone in well researched authentic colour and people thought it too bright.
The facade is so deceptive. It hides the fact that there is this huge ball room.
Was this a deconsecrated church? That would explain the shape and the interior. Either way, GIMME. I want to live there.

Is there a point to building a bed so high that you need a step ladder? I realize that the base probably doubles as cabinet space. But, if I roll out of bed, that is a long way down to the floor.
Storage, and if you sleep through your alarm then you can just roll and get a concussion to wake up?

I had a thing for them as a child. Once we visited an old house for sale with old stone guarding lions at the stairs and i loved the house so much that i told my parents that i'll give up on all my Christmas gift and money forever to help them buying this house. They declined my very generous offer and didn't buy this house. Dammit i wanted those stairs lions so bad.

Sometimes, I click certain filters that make me feel A LOT richer than I actually am. Like I have no right to decide whether I want a shower or tub in my 9th bathroom.
A lot of these people need to fire their interior designers and couple of them might even need to do the same to the architects. And for the love of god, stop with the trophy hunting people- its super cruel and it looks super weird in your house.
