To finish out our week of unusual properties, we wanted to find something that would truly blow our minds with its uniqueness. What we really wanted to find was a shipping container house, but alas, there are none to be found on the market as of this posting (if you’re interested in one, you can check out Tim Steele’s work, MEKA modulars, or just buy one and DIY). However, we discovered this fairly mind-blowing Minimalist tour de force in Delaware County, of all places. Never has naked plywood looked so sexy as it does here, not to mention other artistic touches like the living room stone wall, massive windows, modern fixtures, and what looks like a Morso wood stove. Although Minimalism doesn’t normally inspire thoughts of whimsy and flights of fancy, this house embraces them with a rope swing the main room and a climbing wall. Includes decks and patios as well as a big stone fire pit outside. Situated on 11 acres south of the village of Hobart, west of Roxbury, and about 3 hours from NYC. Only two words left to say: Yes, please.
