Unbelievable Home Locations

We’ve seen wonderful lists of the most creative, bizarre and quirky houses and they’re truly a marvel to see, but today it’s all about location, location, location! We put on our hiking boots, pack our backpacks and go traveling to some of the strangest places on earth where people have built their homes.

13 - Home grown…
Before we knew too much about turning our homes into eco-friendlier versions of their selves, Icelanders were already far ahead of the game. They use the earth’s natural dirt to insulate their homes, which means once the grass starts growing, you’re blending in with the landscape beautifully. Also bear in mind that building materials are not easy to come by in more remote areas, so this is the perfect solution. By owning one of these homes, you’ll blend right in.
12 - Ready for Take Off…
This Boeing 727 Hotel in Costa Rica is located deep in the heart of the jungle. So not only are you heading into the seriously awesome location of a jungle, but you can also brag that you’ve overnighted in a disused airplane flew from South Africa to Columbia once upon a time. Many amazing conversions have taken place in old aircraft, from restaurants, to homes, hotels and even a kindergarten.
11 - Rock On…
Over in Utah you’ll find homes that have been blasted into a rock wall that form part of the Rockland Ranch Community. Around 100 people live there, and the area was founded 35-years ago.
10 - Cliff Hanger…
Although Xuan Kong Si is actually a Monastery, I’ve added it to our list today - because technically, it is home to the monks that reside there. This particular mountain is considered sacred, and the Monastery in Mid Air - which is what Xuan Kong Si translated means - has been hanging there since 491 AD. To this day, architects are in awe of how they managed to get these dwellings to hang like this off the side of the cliff. They do know how it was done, but it’s remarkable they were able to do so. They were built high up as either a defence mechanism against marauders, or to protect themselves from floods.
9 - Home is where the heart is…
This big house is located on Elliðaey Island, Vestmannaeyjar Archipelago in Iceland. An incredible view from above, but you’ll never be allowed to visit there. It was built in the 1700’s and at that time 5 families lived on the island. The house is now owned by a hunting club and you have to be a member to get there. They don’t have electricity but fortunately they do have a sauna.
8 - Oh, the places you’ll go…
Over in Northern England these treehouses served as a form of protest. The residents of the treehouses built them to prevent authorities from quarrying for gritstone in the historic Nine Ladies Sit in Stanton Lees.
7 - Time to go home…
This is the Brooklyn Clock Tower Home and it’s got a hefty price tag attached to it. It costs $15 million and offers the lucky owners a view of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. It’s 6,813-square-foot and at one stage was bring rented out for $50,000 a month!
6 - Welcome Home…
Built in the 1700’s, let’s take a walk around Yemen’s Dar al-Hajar palace. The more modern part on top of the hill was built in the 1930’s by Yahya Muhammad Hamiddin, an Islamic Spiritual leader. The rooms of the palace are built into the side of a tall rock spire and you can buy a ticket and walk through this 5-story rock palace.
5 - The house of the rising sun…
Although it’s uninhabited, this is just worth a share because it’s so bizarre. It’s known as the Floating Castle near Krasnosilka in Ukraine, and is actually an abandoned granary.
4 - Home is where you lay your hat…
We head to Tunisia and pop in for tea at Matmâta. Thought to date back to the Roman times, inhabitants have dug these monstrous pits into the ground and tunnelled into the sides to create their living space. Nobody really knew about this place until the mid-60’s and that was thanks to the Star Wars film, A New Hope, where Luke Skywalker made his home on the planet Tatooine. Why they are built like this is not certain, but it could possibly have been to hide from the Egyptians or some like to believe that desert monsters used to live in those underground tunnels.
3 - Head for the hills…
Admittedly, it’s not a house but a hotel, but the location is most certainly surreal! The Solvay hut is located at 13,000 feet on the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. It offers a resting place for weary hikers!
2 - House on a hill…
In this case, it would be more of a case of house in a hill. This was the creation of SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects, and the entire home is built into a hill. The shape allows for lots of natural light to filter into the home, exquisite panoramic views and loads of shelter.

[@biscuits2572]

Definitely like the house made of rock..solid, sound-proof, weather-proof - real nice.

[@Quarton]

I like Iceland's homes with the lawn roofs!! They can be found in Norway, too.

[@tompascual5787]

Roger Quarton

[@camezcym4975]

Sod roofs are a Scandinavian tradition. Modern earth berm or underground homes in general have a small following

[@majormediaproductions]

Roger Quarton Do these homes ever end up with bug and insect infestations?? How do they prevent it?

[@ladythalia227]

Yes. When it comes mountain cabins a grass roof is practically mandatory 😂

[@ladythalia227]

@@majormediaproductions No, of course not, then we wouldn't still have them on our mountain cabins. Nowadays we use modern materials underneath the grass to keep it completely dry. In the old days they would use tree bark underneath the soil and grass. The grass roots will soak up the moisture and the bark (or whatever people use nowadays will take care of the rest before it permeates the roof. The bark would have needed to be changed every 20 years or so and the soil and grass removed and replanted afterwards. No moisture inside = no bugs or infestations. I actually helped build my own mountain cabin 20 years ago and the man building it had learned the old techniques from his father and grandfather going back to the 1800's. He told me how it used to be. Ot was actually quite interesting to see the log cabin being made from scratch in the old way. (With a couple of modifications.)

[@diannemasters9435]

These are really unusual homes. Love the grass roofed ones and the one you have to be a member to get to. Love the terrain on the member one. Personally I would choose to live in NH on Lake Wiinne or Squam Lake. They build houses on islands there and the water level doesn’t change so they can build and have built right on the water’s edge. They drive across the lake when frozen and boat when thawed. GORGEOUS!!!!!

[@dianarussell5832]

My favorites were the homes of Iceland with the grass roofs and also the self sustaining homes where you grow your own garden inside and have walls made out of colored bottles. I'd love living in either one. Loved the video! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

I live about 20 minutes away from #22. It's a sight to behold. You can actually walk through it during a visit.

[@rhondachapman3688]

I’ve stayed at the Comfort Inn in Coober Pedy, it’s absolutely amazing! They dig out more rooms every now and then and the opals they find usually pay for it all. If you ever come to Australia it’s worth a visit 🇦🇺💜

[@nein_sounkawad_]

I'm actually amazed from this video. Coming from an Islander, all houses around here are almost all the same local and real-down local. But these are uniques! Thanks :)

[@cindy-louwho9311]

[@yolaiine99]

Wow!! Some of these, don't even look real... I'll take the one inside the plane in Costa-Rica.

[@bifa5414]

Wow, number 7 is amazing. I like also number 22.

[@wonderbeauty6560]

Its just amazing to see something I've never seen before.

[@DavidisDawei]

You should have included Mont Saint Michel on your list It is an absolutely amazing place to visit!

[@iamnotaweebiswear8940]

Number 22 is wrong. That is on the the susquehanna river in the susquehanna valley in PA. I've driven past it. Before the house was built, children would come on boats across the river from the town of Marietta to swim in the waterfall and its pond below. When the house was built, they had to stop.

[@zacharyp10]

i am not a weeb I swear That's kinda sad :(

[@iamnotaweebiswear8940]

yeah. My great grandfather lived in that town all his life. He used to go there was a kid. The funny thing is he is in a book about the town where he talks all about it. Its a limited run from a couple years ago that's over 1100 pages that goes through everything from notable members to presidential visits to crimes and even the town hauntings(but they didn't cover all. that town has to be one of the most haunted in the state. A friend who lives there heard a guitar playing in her room. Her dad grabbed his shotgun and slowly went up and checked. No one was there. My little cousin would see a union soldier in her house as a kid. she knew things that she should have not known. There is a supposed picture of an angel on top of a bar, a Bed and breakfast has multiple haunts. don't even get me started about the creepy ass forest. Across the river near the falls, a massive house that is at least 150 years old is haunted by the spirits of two teens. The boy murdered the girl when she rejected him and he was hung on the property. My grandmother and one of my aunts saw a man in a tophat walk through the door, I mean THROUGH the door, like through the wood, into the ladies bathroom at one of the towns bars. I didn't even get to the extinct species of bigfoot up here called that have been sighted by native americans for centuries, the multiple romeo and juliet stories, indian killings, the caped man(which I saw before). It's a creepy and old town. over 200 years old if i remember correctly.

[@zacharyp10]

Wow, that's wild! Thanks for the response, very interesting! My dad lived in Massachusetts and apparently, there was a lot of scary stuff going on in the woods there. He saw indians a lot apparently. I laughed at "don't even get me started on the creepy ass forest" lmao

[@iamnotaweebiswear8940]

From Virgina/West Virginia and up seems like its all just a paranormal hotspot. There is the old house woods in Virginia which is supposed to be the craziest haunted forest in the world(I am talking about flying pirate ships, headless dogs, glowing orbs, buried treasure, phantom british armies, skeletons looking for treasure, screaming. Everything you can think of). Gettysburg, Marietta, and basically the entirety of PA, Mass has a bunch of hauntings as well. All the supposed sightings of weird ass creatures in the mountains. It's just crazy how much of this stuff there is in this area. I think PA and the virginias are the biggest hotbeds though.

[@skagited9617]

Friend... Sorry, not sure if you got the number of the house wrong.... but #22 is definitely not near Marietta. Wikipedia and Google Maps show it about 13 miles due east of Uniontown in SW Penn. Densely surrounded by forest, on a tributary to the Youghiogheny River.

[@jorgevelasquez4698]

I been in the Thousands islands River wich is Saint Lawrence River, it is stunning beautiful people use this home aislands as a vacation destination in the summer, I took a ferry around the Thousands tiny aislands it was a good experience.

[@sabrinastone628]

Pretty darn cool..gives ideas for homes to be built

[@catherinedrew203]

Love the last one....fishing allll day long lol

[@shazerali8376]

catherine drew ur right i agree

[@johndenicola6173]

It's a cool location. We live about an hour south from the location (a boat trip to Boldt Castle takes you past it on a tour. On the day we passed this house, there was a little lawn chair next to the front door.. Incidentally, there is no tide on the St. Lawrence River.. it is AT LEAST 400 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, so tides do not affect it. There are a bunch of small islands (1 acre or less - to define the smaller ones) with singles houses, but this one is great!

[@Taikamuna]

9:29 is what you came here for

[@13centkiller]

You should see #1 neighbor's house Boldt Castle

Also #13, I absolutely love it 😍 they look so mythical like something elves would live in.

[@Marlene5018]

I love the number ONE ! It has beautiful view and none neighbors!!!! 😍

[@rosiefay7283]

1:26 How can you have a segment about this famous house and not state its name? It's called Fallingwater. What you don't say is that the owner asked for a house with views of the waterfall, but Wright, going against those instructions, built it *over* that waterfall. Unsurprisingly, damp was a problem and the owners always had to have buckets about the place to catch the... falling water.

[@austinsmith8231]

So if it floods the house is gone

[@soulcandyalmadulce5885]

Beautiful video, much appreciated.

[@paularogers3549]

Waterfall house is amazing Cave house that would be cool. Cool houses

[@jeffreyplummer6626]

I love number one but if you get too much rain fall your looking at major damage and possible total loss of your home?. I’d raise it up another 2-3 feet?.

[@brigoth7787]

St. Lawrence is a regulated seaway for international shipping so water doesn't vary as you'd think

[@JohnR406]

Narrative is wrong, there is no tide in that part of the St Lawrence River.

[@goitsemodimolebele2169]

number 1 is like master roshi' s house

[@foodie360d]

*Wow!! such amazing locations*

[@aesthetix6715]

This video was really interesting and explained everything I thought that didn’t even exist but when they explained about everything I couldn’t stand there weren’t enough things to convince me so I really believe in these home locations

[@EarthAstroGirl]

Canadian artist retreat, hands down.

[@andrewthecelt3794]

There's no tides in the 1000 islands (# 1 home) you'd have to go some 450 km (300 mi.) east of here down the St Lawrence before you would see tides.

[@Lisargarza]

Andrew the Celt Are they perhaps confusing the fact that it’s a river which has naturally varying levels?

[@scottmcleod6249]

Andrew the Celt spectacular sliding doors

[@JohnThomas-ci9ml]

The St Lawrence in full flood mode is not something to tangle with!

[@andrewray9200]

there has been 4 tides since 1967

[@nathanmcnally6641]

maybe they meant when the rivers flowing down stream because when the rivers going down stream that's when the waters highest where I'm at anyways

[@annaalbury7748]

The grass houses best for me. Nice video. Some of the locations are scary and insecure.

[@johnd6646]

The last in the middle of the water, because it is so serene, and lots of water to see, with the view that is constantly changing.

[@abdelhamidnabli]

[@velvetshaus5580]

OK,, then I will hide at your place ..

[@TheIkA86]

The second house in Serbia on river Drina was built by group of swimmers that needed a place to stay and enjoy the water. Back in that time they brought all material by small boats and it took a lot of time to build it. That river is very fast and it was really hard job to do. :) They made all those houses coz they are creative people with unique style, and thats something that lots of people appreciate and admire.

[@bojangles271995]

I bought this because I did not have a clue about the design, materials composition and building of a shed. kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAquIt is absolutely fascinating, with clear, readable text and helpful illustrations also enough videos. There is a great sense of creativity and enthusiasm underlying the projects which the authors develop, from a bike shed to a glorious eco-shed. I like the way explanations are provided for decisions made from a range of options. I am not really in a position to rate the more technical detail, but think I am prepared to boldly go shed- building, equipped with this manual.

[@fulac1958]

I grew up in the Thousand Islands, no tides to my knowledge but the levels do change with the seasons etc. It's just one of many homes built on small islands there, however still one of the coolest.
