I can't remember if you are the house person but boy if you haven't seen the cave house in glenwood yet you need to. 217 ROSE BUD IRON MTN when I was a raftguide we'd say it was Bruce Wayne's house. It's for sale and they have photos and a virtual tour

Okay, I was waiting to answer this because I was hoping they'd get the website up, but if they have I can't find it.

Anyways. FUCK YES I LOVE THIS HOUSE! I forget when I first heard about it, but it has always delighted me.

My favorite line in the listing is: "A portion of the cave has been used as a personal dwelling by the owners for the past 4 decades, however sellers make no claims regarding the habitability of the Cave of the Chimes."

That view!

Look at this nonsense. I love it so much. I imagine taking the dog out to pee in the middle of the night might get difficult, though. And I hope you don't have to walk down the stairs on the left there as the only access...bringing home groceries would be an ADVENTURE if so.

You want a bigger fridge? Too bad. Also love that they still have an over-the-sink window that just opens on. Rock.

I have questions about this bedroom/pooltable room combo we've got going on here.

What lives behind the TV? Who knows!

Side thought: I wonder how the hell they have running water in this house.

Okay so. This bedroom is just. Open to the kitchen? So that's a thing. Do appreciate the giant jar of chocolate chips, though.

Then through that doorway at the back there, you're just. In "unfinished" cave:

Which then leads to the pooltable room:

And the bathroom in the pooltable bedroom is just. Open to the whole bedroom. Lotta interesting divisions of space going on here.

Also. This is the only bathroom I have seen so far. I did not see one in the first half of the house.

Now, back to where we made the turn to go to the pooltable room. If you DON'T turn and just go straight, you access the rest of the cave:

And it does have some very pretty formations in it, but...is that tin slide thing involved in the plumbing? I feel like it is involved in the plumbing. Which is. Concerning.

You can go real deep into the cave too. And, note, there's no doors or anything between the house and the rest of the cave.

CAVE HOUSE.

Fun concept. I would live in a cave house. But this one needs work.
