I don't understand this, but I also don't hate it.

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

-
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.

MODERATORS
Finally, someone with a good grasp of the proper ratios when comes to house space vs garage/workshop space. Chuck in a few exterior windows and I would be fine with something like this.
I would be checking how much weight above the living space can handle though - I suspect it might not be up to suitable floor loadings for workshop usage.
Yeah, this is amazing. I’d buy it.
Some won’t understand—especially if they live in a matchbox apt in a concrete jungle and have the mechanical aptitude of a liberal arts student with hobbies to match.
I've installed Internet once to a warehouse like this that had a full on house built inside of one corner of it. Like we totally thought it was pretty normal, since we mostly installed for farms and the highest point to install the radios was usually a barn, shed or warehouse like this. But then when we went inside to run the cable, it was like a movie set. They even had a fake lawn.
It probably was a set for video productions. Of a certain kind.
Holy shit that crucifix wall on image 32 is insane
i kno it's evil to say, but when people genuinely have an american flag on their property i immediately assume it's a shidpost or at the very least ironic. but it's not, which makes it fun.
Here I'm just thinking that'd be an amazing place to have my boardgame collection and nerd space.
For real. This would be incredible and it's significantly cheaper than the value of my little 1/8 acre starter home.
I can see the appeal. I also like sunlight though, so might have to put some windows in.
I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not "shouse" was a typo.

As someone who lusts after Dirk Pitt's studio apartment over a private hangar, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.
"Does it have an attached garage?" "Brother does it ever"
ngl I kinda like the idea of having a house inside my shed lmao. I feel like that one "Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat" sign really says who the target market is.
"shouse located in the quaint town of Denmark, KS"
This is one of the most absurd sentences I'll read this week despite republican efforts.
With no egress windows (or windows at all) I’m surprised they are allowed to classify this as livable space..
Around me they have to be suuuuuper careful to not refer to any room lacking egress windows as “bedroom”, because it’s not up to code and thus isn’t living space. I assumed that was everywhere in the US.
The rooms do have windows… that lead to the shed. So checkmate, you northern yank.
(looking at pictures) Huh? I don't understand. They're storing their stuff in there, what's so bad ab- ah, there's the, uh, living quarters, I see. Well okay then, it's not my style but I su- oh lawdy lawd a bunch of ~~crucifixes~~ crosses.
Edit: those are "just" crosses.
So they bought this place, but it's lack of natural sunlight kept attracting vampires, so they had to put up crucifixes everywhere to keep them away?
Those look to be just crosses (popular with Protestants), crucifixes generally refer to a cross with ol’ J-dawg on it (popular with Catholics)
Huh. TIL.
(Thinking about it, the remnants of my Latin knowledge from school say that makes sense.)
Minus the interior decoration this is like ideal for me.
My dream house is basically a garage with a house attached. But I guess a house inside a garage works too.
There are private small airports with garages and hangers at each house. (At least in the US). Often grass runways and often self built houses. There’s always since folks that don’t fly but just want the hanger as a shop. Good communities at these places too
It's not terrible. It's definitely not for me, but I don't hate the living space.
That wall... Jesus Christ!
It's weird but frankly I'd live here as long as it had high speed internet.
No people and I could probably shoot off my back porch... Living the dream.
shoot off my back porch
What did that porch ever do to you? Certainly there are more efficient was to be rid of it.
Christ that's a lot of decapitated things.
I'm assuming the inner building has its own air supply or there's just so much volume in the outer part so all the ICEs don't make everybody sleepy.
Sleepy sounds nice
What the hell did I just watch...
I think it's cool. This would be an outdoorsman's dream
But it's indoors.
Did you not see all the toys?
As an Oregonian, I can't imagine what it's like to be an outdoorsman in Kansas.
TBH to me this is very appealing. I want a lot of space that is isolated from others and protected from the elements. This picture shows all those things.
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 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?

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.

Were you born in a barn!?
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.
America's obsession with garages has gone too far.
(Also I'm pretty sure that's very illegal.)
From Kansas… we call this a barndominium and they are actually pretty neat. I guarantee they’re getting plenty of sun lol.
Love it!!
