Absolutely spectacular.

And it comes with a throne!

Only a cool half million.

That first picture really does look computer rendered. I'm still not entirely sure it isn't.

That's kinda impressive.

I kinda feel bad for whomever is selling this — it looks like it was probably their dream home.

The picture on that site is terrible too - it's hidden behind a tree!

I actually kind of like the idea of using a folly as a vacation property, but with that location it’ll be completely uninsurable due to hurricane risk and low elevation.

If it can withstand attacks by dragons, some weather will not be an issue.

If Harrenhall couldn’t withstand dragons, no way the fisherman’s castle would.

I will become the Wizard Lord of Fisher Price Keep!

They just hired the same painter every landlord uses.

Nail holes? Black mold? Functioning power outlets? Nothing a nice inch thick coat of matte white latex can't fix!

Fun fact, I moved into an apartment once where the landlord had painted the inside of the tub/shower combo to cover the lime scaling. You know what's really slippery when wet, turns out? Latex paint. You know what bubbles up and chips off after a few months of being intermittantly sprayed with hot water and stepped on? Latex paint. So dumb, so pointlessly dangerous. Had to put down traction pads in my damn shower so I didn't break my tailbone or crack my skull. And by the time I moved out, the tub was like 90 percent unpainted anymore and looked a damn mess. Dumb.

the amount of dust under that throne...

Is it over-use of Photoshop or really bad HDR?

There is a bright future for you at Foxtons.

It’s just a matter of time before it falls into the swamp

Nooo! He said it! Oh no, now I've said it! Argh, I've said it again!

So Shrek will be happy.

It's so tacky some of their photos turned into thumbnails

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Tbh the worst part is the regular house and camper next door breaking whatever chance at illusion they started with.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I can absolutely say I want to live in a castle rendered in early '90s CGI. Just..probably not this specific one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but not that one. I always loved Floop's castle in Spy Kids. I dunno if there's a name for that style of architecture, but sculpted interiors and exteriors make me very happy.

Honestly, more people should embrace "theme park houses". Make life interesting, yanno?

It looks like a toilet bowl. A huge toilet bowl.

And on basically no land at all. You know the person who did this doesn't believe in climate change, who else would bother?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I pass this on my way to/from work. Not surprised to see it here

Jokes on you, that throne is just a photo stretched across a box

Ruby da Cherry shot his music video for Duckboy - Excalibur here

That first picture looks like something out of a dream, holy shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Duh? Who hasn't!
