The four-bedroom, two-bath historic condo is in an odd building constructed in 1976 by a “design build community of architects on Prickly Mountain” the listing on Zillow.com says. Overall, there are six condos in the structure, and the 1,200-square-foot unit that’s available includes:

“This is the place where a group of kids were stranded with no adults and they had to learn to survive on their own,” one person said of the home. “So they built shelters with whatever they could throw together and established a hierarchy and put a pig head on a stick at the entrance. Oh, wait, that was ‘Lord of the Flies’.”

“This is what happens when you give a 12-year-old me all of the money,” someone said. “I build the best fort.”

“Aren’t photos in real estate listings supposed to help sell the house?” one person asked. “Because all these are doing is making it look like the Upside Down.”

No worries —there were some fans of the place.
