"Invisible house for sale" sounds like the beginning of a joke, but here we are. A house for sale in Sevierville, Tennessee, blends in with its woody surroundings in a peculiar way because its exterior walls are mirrors. The cube-shaped home is propped up on stilts on a hillside in Dolly Parton's home town.
This house is not only invisible, it's involved in time travel, as the real estate listing says it was built in 2023. It turns out the house is not completed, and the images are rendered illustrations. However, tours are being offered to prospective buyers, so we don't know how far along construction is at this point. There are no interior images available.
While the look is very interesting, let's ponder the implications of living in an invisible house. Do you enjoy washing windows? Then you'll love polishing the mirrored walls after each rainstorm leaves water spots on all sides. You'll have to invest in some long squeegees. You can almost hear the birds flying into the walls constantly, but they probably won't cause as much structural damage as a leaping elk making its way through your kitchen. And what if you had a medical emergency? Would an ambulance crew even see where you live? Then you have to ponder what those reflective walls are doing to the temperatures of the surrounding woods. Would you be able to buy fire insurance? -via Fark ā
