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 never would have guessed, but that makes a lot of sense now. I'm on board with the theory that it's a big tax scam of some sort.

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.

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.

I can see the appeal. I also like sunlight though, so might have to put some windows in.

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.

Were you born in a barn!?

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

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.

Best comment of the thread so far 😂

What the hell did I just watch...

Would be amazing for growing lots of weed, caretakers lives inside the shack.

As someone who lusts after Dirk Pitt's studio apartment over a private hangar, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.

I can finally start an anti-vampirism compound. It is already fully stocked with crucifixes.
