This Instagram Account Celebrates Real Estate Listings ‘Gone Wild’ And Here Are 40 Of The Best Ones (New Pics)
In your childhood or teenage years, you might have dreamt of owning your own castle or a treehouse. Maybe there would be slides and secret tunnels leading to hidden chambers. As an adult, in your mind, you might have upgraded to a pool, and a bar area, all preferably with a breathtaking view. Well, some children made their dreams come true and now they own the most bizarre homes ever.
On Zillow, the American tech real-estate marketplace that has gained quite a reputation on the internet as allegedly contributing to unaffordable housing, you can find all sorts of listings that are beyond imagination. From enormous villas to literal mancaves, you can find it all.
Thankfully an Instagram page called @zillowgonewild has got you covered with must-see Zillow listings in one place. So, pandas, we present you with these unique places in the hopes that seeing them will revive your inner child and make you look at housing a bit more creatively.
We wanted to get to know more about the creator of this Instagram page and their view of the list. Therefore Bored Panda got in touch with the account owner. See the interview in the text below.

This one is seriously awesome. What a difference between true vintage and fake vintage (as seen above).
So sorry, but this is a set from the American show Ghosts.
Load More Replies...I wouldn't want to sleep in that bedroom tbh... I can almost smell the mould and dampness :-/ but it looks nice
No thank you!1 I hear the lights flicker at weird times, strange humming randomly and every once in a while people walking through the house get a whiff of some horribly bad smell!!
This looks a lot like the mansion from Ghosts - https://www.cbs.com/shows/ghosts/
OMG - check this out! https://hookedonhouses.net/2022/01/06/haunted-house-ghosts-sitcom/
Load More Replies...This house is used on the sitcom on Paramount+ called Ghosts. Photos are from the show. That car is driven in the show. And inside photos are from the show. And there is a viking ghost character on the show which is where they got the story of Viking remains. Fake listing.
If you really want to see awesome Victorian homes you should check out www.circaoldhomes.com. I found a few I would buy when I hit the powerball! But this house is way cool too!
Elias and Hettie are named after a prominent Iron Works owner from my home, Altoona, Pa. They are the Bakers and their Greek Revival mansion is amazing. One of the producers of the American version of the show was a classmate of mine.
We're a family going though a tough personal time trying to patch things up. We're looking for a new start in a new house. Our children's hobbies are exploring small doors in basements and poking around in attics and we just adopted a St. Bernard. I think this might be the house for us.
Don't worry, all the ghosts here are friendly, though you will get flickering lights, disembodied humming, and the occasional smell of death in random rooms.
Load More Replies...LMAO! I just finished watching all available episodes on this place this last weekend. Got some good history to it.
It's like the US version of the TV show Ghosts. Totally. Is it? Someone is playing. Or I'm totally wrong. That's OK too.
This house doesn't exist and neither did the Woodstones. This is from the sitcom "Ghosts". Why is it in here?
It is a real house where the show is filmed, but it's in Montreal, so I don't know why it's showing up on Zillow.
Load More Replies...I mean it's absolutely gorgeous, but I'd prefer not to live in a obviously haunted house.
Unless you could talk to the ghosts and they could provide you with endless comedic entertainment.
Load More Replies...This is where the US TV show "Ghosts" is set. One of the ghosts was killed trying to hug a bear. Another is a Viking, thus the comment about Viking remains.
Load More Replies...Here’s Your Chance To Finally Own Your Own Island In Addison, Me For $339,000. Per The Listing The “Ledges Surrounding The Island Are Loaded With Seals For Constant Entertainment”. 1 Bed. 540 Sq Ft. 1.5 Acres
If you thought that nothing good comes from boredom, well, then you are very much mistaken, my friend. Sure, we browse a lot of the internet these days to kill boredom, but that has its upsides too. You might stumble upon some inspiring, silly or, simply put, interesting content that is worth sharing with the world.
The @zillowgonewild Instagram account owner shares their most bizarre finds from Zillow. They commented that they use Zillow to escape boredom: “It’s something I do when I’m bored on my phone and look around for homes, either locally or like around the US.” Being on the Zillow website a lot, you can find ordinary homes and then some crazy ones. So this Instagram account creator decided to collect the best finds into one place. “I just felt like people were really into browsing Zillow and wanted to see the best of it,” they wrote in the interview.

If you've gone looking for advice on the internet, when googling ‘what makes a perfect home,’ you might have come across a list of must-haves such as a kitchen island, luxury shower, beautiful garden, a perfect flow of space, gorgeous flooring, a comfy sofa, individual style, and some more. But in the end, every person is different, and I believe that ‘the perfect’ home is not just how the interior and exterior look, but also how you feel living there.

Whoever said money can't buy good taste was sure right. Many of these are a cluttered nightmare and so many plum coloured walls.
Most are only suitable for the visually impaired
Load More Replies...Looking at these made me intensely grateful that I will never have to live in one of these.
I must be a peasant, but on most of these, I couldn't stop thinking about the practical difficulties of cleaning the materials used on walls and such. Also how some really large ones had such pathetic kitchens, with about as little counter space as my apartment.
Beautiful or fantastic homes with at least one room that is outstanding. My favorite one was the little 500 SF home in Maine with seals. My only complaint is how horribly huge most of these are.
Don't realtors advise sellers to de-clutter and de-personalize homes before taking photos for listings?
Bookmarking as "things to try building in the Sims when I get bored of watching my little people freeze to not-aliveness". (Can I say that, BP censors?)
After the Ghosts listing I was just wondering if any of the others were fake.
