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.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

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...

[–] jagungal@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

There is a bright future for you at Foxtons.

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

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.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 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?

[–] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 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.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] UncleJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

Woah this looks amazing!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

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