It looked just fine til the pool reveal. I like David Bowie as much as the next person, but really don’t want him looking up at me while I swim, if you know what I mean.
Who Runs Zillow Gone Wild?
Bored Panda contacted the creator behind the Zillow Gone Wild Instagram page. However, the creator preferred to stay anonymous and let their project speak for itself. The creator admitted that the idea came after they noticed a lot of weirdly fascinating homes out there on Zillow, “like homes with bowling alleys, indoor pools, jail cells.” The author said that “one particular home had a mining shaft,” which took the craziness to a whole new level.
The creator believes such unusual home designs result from a “combination of taste and money.” “For me, it’s been fun to see all the interesting homes that are out there. I’m surprised at how many people have built actual castles and how many insanely large mansions there are in places like Utah and Ohio.”
As for the strangest listing the creator of the page has seen, they said it was “this one with all the strawberries in the bunkers.” Meanwhile, to the question of whether they'd like to live in such an insane Zillow villa, the Instagrammer answered jokingly: “I’d worry about having to vacuum all of that space.”

What Do The Coolest Houses On Zillow Have In Common?
Now you might be asking — what do these houses have in common? For most of them, the cool factor comes from their design and styling. The coolest houses on Zillow are either wild on the inside or weird on the exterior.
Another factor uniting all Zillow Gone Wild finds is the crazy wall designs. We aren’t talking about the plain ol’ brick walls here. These wild houses take it a step further. Envision sizeable rocks and boulders sticking out from the walls.
However, these listings become even weirder. Imagine finding a Zillow house listing that looks normal at first glance. You have a nice-looking living room, and everything looks great until you reach the two final pictures. In them, you see a prison cell-style celler. Now, that might be a deal breaker to some (or a must-have to others).

So much money spent. Soooo much bad taste.
Natalia: That is exactly what I came down here to say. It's sad that rich people can spend so much on total crap. They should be embarrassed to have people come over ....
Another reminder that money doesn't buy taste. lol I love these! I'm currently getting my home ready to sell and when it seems overwhelming, I just think of these listings and tell myself "could be worse."
Shows that people have NO taste!
It's fine to decorate to one's fantasies to live there, but for listing they really should have neutralized and decluttered.
Orrr, they have taste and we don’t lol.
Yeah, that could also be the case.
