Built in 1977 "to combat rising energy costs," this five-bedroom abode features walls and ceilings lined with river rock.
A wild abode in Armington, IL, with rock-lined walls, ceilings, and doorways, has just hit the market for an astonishingly low asking price of just $59,000, making it climb to the top spot of the week's most popular homes list.
The earth-sheltered dwelling was constructed in 1977 by Andy "Caveman" Davis using rocks his family "hand collected during annual trips to Colorado."
Offering 2,300 square feet of uniquely designed space with circular hobbit-style windows, the home, with its "distinctive architectural aesthetic," also boasts a fireplace and bathtub surrounded by rocks.
A kitchen does need to be finished off, and much of the space inside offers a "massive blank slate" for the next buyer to create the cave home of their dreams.
Two separate electric meters are already in place, offering the potential to transform it into a duplex with income potential.
Other properties grabbing attention this week include a lakefront property in Tennessee that's missing a residence, a Denver residence abutting a freeway, and a Green Bay Packers fan's dream home next to Lambeau Field.
