An iconic local property built on an ancient cliff is looking for a new owner.
In Larkspur, Colorado, a house known as “The Rock House,” which looks like a house straight out of “The Flintstones,” has gone on the market for $989,900.
Built in 2000, the 24-year-old mansion is uniquely situated around a 45-foot-tall section of “one of Colorado’s beloved 200-million-year-old red rocks,” according to the listing, which is maintained by Keller Williams. Action Realty LLC is the Thayer Group.
“It doesn’t really look like a house, from the outside it looks like a prison,” shared a woman named Karen, who bought the home with her partner Allen, according to an episode of HGTV’s “Ugliest House in America.” , in which the residence was presented.
“This house was built by a gentleman our neighbors described as ‘bohemian,'” Allen commented on the episode, adding that “The engineering behind this house is at best a guess, and we spoke to an architect. and he said, “Be glad it is still standing.”
The original owner, Allen continued, “built a dirt floor so he could grow himself inside.” As a result of this, and the lack of a basement, the soil in the house is extremely spongy.
The detached residence offers a total of 2,432 square meters of living space spread over four floors and is accessed through double iron front doors topped by a pergola.
Inside, there is a mud room, two bedrooms – a guest suite with walk-in closet and upstairs master suite with an electric fireplace – two bathrooms, a kitchen with a wine fridge, a den, an office, laundry and views comprehensive of the surrounding landscape
Also, there are a number of outdoor amenities, including two decks—both accessed from the third floor and one of them split-level—and a large top-floor balcony with an enclosed porch that doubles as a “yoga “fitness/greenhouse, – as the listing describes.Â
