The agent is really trying to work this one.
Once in a lifetime opportunity to own the legendary Sidewinder Ranch. The homesite is built right into the hillside with native bedrock spilling into every room. A stream flows over the rocks and through the home. Be one of only two rooflines visible in over 50 miles of visibility from the patio.
Spilling into every room is one way to put it.
Looks like there’d be more dust coming from that exposed rock and covering all the surfaces than in my flat that I never clean.
It’s probably all sealed. A coat of urethane or epoxy and there’s no dust, also stops the moisture flow so you can have some humidity inside if wanted.
There are loose rocks lying around. It doesn’t look sealed or treated in any way to me at all.
Yeah none of that is sealed. Plenty houses in the south west have rocks in them, or are built around some particularly great ones. Also many of the rocks you see in this one are cultural artifacts, metates and monos, which like, I’m pretty sure you can get into some deep shit for having. But like, they are also fricken everywhere. Some places its not even peoples to turn over ground and not find tools.
It depends on the type of rock, a lot of old houses in Europe have exposed stone walls and the dust is not a problem.
Not all rocks disintegrate into dust on contact, but I think that’s a valid concern here.
Looks like many of my Fallout 76 builds
The most AZ house I’ve ever seen… and I grew up there. Oof
Holy Crap!!! It comes with a bulldozer!
It’s pending. I wonder how much the next buyer will change/remodel it.
Ohh the rock is intended! I first thought the wall caved in.
not for me, but kinda dope. 34 acres, goddamn.
I don’t really get the issue. Its like you’ve never been to the SW before.
I think it is kinda neat but I wouldn’t live there. Also those rocks are all huge heat sinks and it is probably super cold in the winter.
Site seems to be overloaded, do you have a copy?

I love this property 😸
If I had stupefying amounts of money I’d do it.
If you’re into the desert, this is a cool winter vacation home.
That seems like a steal for just the acreage, the house is a bonus!
