 Photo courtesy Zillow Blog I'm so glad to identify this house! It's popped up over and over in my Flickr explorations, but never with a good backstory. I'm pretty sure one Flickr user even had it labeled as being in Taiwan! I've finally got some information on this woodsy fairy-lookin' house.

A friend of mine who's a grad student in Idaho recently shared this amazing property in downtown Boville, Idaho: GREAT HISTORIC BRICK BUILDING. STARTED OUT AS A BANK WITH A MASONIC LODGE LOCATED ON THE 2ND FLOOR. MAIN FLOOR IS SET UP AND HAS BEEN RUN AS THE ELK TAVERN FOR MANY YEARS. THERE IS AN APARTMENT IN THE BACK ON MAIN FLOOR. SECOND FLOOR HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR YEARS, MOSTLY ONE BIG ROOM WITH HIGH CEILING, FIR FLOORING, LOTS OF WINDOWS AND 2 FIREPLACES. What would YOU do with it? 
Move over Snow White's bungalow, because the newest installation of "amazing dream homes that have popped up on the market that Megan could never afford" is here. 
Can we take a minute to talk about our dream homes? I believe we all have (at least) one, right? You know, that one house that you always drive by on your way to work/the grocery store/your favorite vacation spot. That one house that you day dream about owning. You know… if you suddenly came into a million (or more) dollars. That house? Well, torture upon tortures, my dream house is on the market right now. This is MY "that house": 
When mecha-aliens invade, this family can decide to peace out on the world for a while and mosey on down to their still-decent below-ground house. 
Ever since we bought this house I've fantasized about wallpapering. You do NOT have to go far on the internet to find hot shit stuff to slap up on your walls. Important to note: I didn't look at the price of a single one of these. Let me live in my paradise.

For Sale By Owner: A secluded hand-built house with a spring-fed pool. Will trade.My friend Rachel spends a lot of time fantasizing about houses. And stalking houses. She sent me this week's Offbeat Real Estate dreamboat: an "artistic" house in Idaho, now up for sale or trade. It's off the grid, a 1/2 mile from the road, and three floors on 12 acres — with the middle floor set up as a tile cutting/stained glass studio, it's perfect for someone who needs to get away and work for a while. Imagining yourself in this home takes some work — the owner has a love of using flash and therefore, taking really unappealing photos. It's okay. I'll help you fantasize. 
We've had our eye on offbeat real estate porn for a couple months now, but this is the first instance I've seen of an entire town getting a listing. Scenic, South Dakota is on the map west of the Badlands and in a very isolated part of the US. It's hot in the summers there, cold in the winters, and you're a long way from anything. But you'd be the proud owner of a very wild-west saloon. |
