The house that no one wants to buy. Luxury houses that no one wants to live in
50 Cent's mansion in Farmington, Connecticut
In 2015, the rap artist put up for sale a house with an area of 4.6 square meters. meters for 18.5 million dollars - this is the amount for which the musician purchased the property from Mike Tyson. The mansion includes 21 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, an indoor pool, a strip club, several game rooms and a recording studio. The year 50 cent declared bankruptcy, the price was reduced by 10 million! In 2018, the house participated in the reality show “Million Dollar Listing”; the producers offered the musician to buy the house for $4.2 million, but he refused.
Michael Jordan's home in Chicago, Illinois
In 2012, Michael Jordan tried to sell a mansion in Illinois for $29 million. Six years later, no one has bought the complex with a home theater and basketball court. As a result, the price was reduced by half - to 14.8 million dollars. But this did not help either: the house was never sold.
Donald Trump's house in Saint Martin
The president's estate, Château des Palmiers, on the island of St. Martin in the Caribbean, is not Trump's residence. Every year the mansion brings in profits from 100 thousand to 1 million dollars. This house is unique: in 2017, it survived the powerful Hurricane Irma and suffered almost no damage. The initial cost of the complex was $28 million, but was later reduced to $16 million. The mansion can be rented for $11,418 per day.
“And let no one move in offended!” exclaimed the Turkish architect and grabbed a pencil at the drawing board. This is probably how the story of the construction of the most unusual cottage village on the planet began. We are talking about Burj Al Babas in Turkey. The development is located somewhere in the mountains between Ankara and Istanbul. Most of the houses built here belong to clients from Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia. As you might have guessed from the photographs, this cottage development could well be called typical.
I wonder what happened to the architect
We are all very familiar with the evil of standard construction. IN recent years in cities they are trying to build more and more diverse residential complexes, however, they are still typical due to objective and reasonable reasons. However, it was not just some five-story buildings that were built here, but luxury cottages costing from 370 to 525 thousand dollars per plot! It's funny that anyone bought them at all. After all, when it comes to standard construction, even a field of roses turns into a field of toadstools.
The houses look a bit pretentious
In fact, there are three types of houses here, although they are very similar to each other. Initially, the project included the construction of 732 villas. In the end, 587 were built. Since 2011, the owner has managed to sell 350 of them. After some time, the development company (what a surprise!) went bankrupt.
The unique house, located in the town of Hillsboro, a wealthy suburb of San Francisco, was not bought by anyone in the year during which it was put up for sale.
The initial price of the mansion, known to San Franciscans as the “Flintstones House,” was $4.2 million. But even after two price reductions in 2016, it still hasn’t found a new owner.
It has become an eyesore for many neighbors, especially since it was painted orange and purple colors, which cannot be said about those who like it. Take a look at the house that managed to divide people's opinions.
Even from a distance, The Flintstone House looks quite unusual.
It is made of concrete painted orange and purple, although it was originally an off-white color when it was built in 1976.
The odd shape of the house was created using shotcrete and a series of mesh frames raised by balloons, which are used for aerostatic research.
This gave it a prehistoric, lumpy appearance, which gave it its nickname.
Tiles and unique artwork are located throughout the single family home and are consistent with the exterior.
As is the color scheme of the interior.
Non-standard ceilings everywhere.
The house fell into disrepair in the 1980s, but was repaired and reconstructed after a flood caused severe damage to the foundation.
Then the house got a new owner.
The center island in the kitchen is attached to the ceiling, which also has a skylight.
Despite appearance, the house has ordinary kitchen appliances.
Because of the experimental design, the house was criticized quite a lot.
Many call it ugly, while others are simply curious about what it looks like inside.
The amount of criticism only grew after the current owners bought the property in 1996 for $800,000.
They were the ones who changed him color scheme from white to the current orange-violet.
Whether you like it or not, the house has become a San Francisco landmark.
According to rumors, many celebrities rented it or wanted to buy it, including...

...George Lucas, OJ Simpson and an unnamed Silicon Valley investor. 
In September 2014, its sale price was $4.2 million. 
But now it has been reduced to $3.2 million - for the second time in a year. 
Whoever buys it will get three bedrooms and 250 square meters. meters of bizarre history of San Francisco.
