In the real estate market, you can find truly surreal buildings.
Cave houses, mushroom or bubble-shaped, made of sheets of glass and lined from floor to ceiling with beer cans – you can find real architectural freaks on foreign real estate sites. But even in the vastness of our vast homeland, no, no, and curious specimens will appear. But let’s agree right away: the strange is not always bad.
Faberge egg house
“An architectural masterpiece of Moscow is the Faberge egg house. It is included in the ranking of the most unusual buildings in the world, “- says the announcement for the sale of this house. The building is really unusual, you will not pass by – you will definitely take a picture.
The house is located in the very center of Moscow, on Mashkova Street, and is included in the list of places that you should definitely see in the capital. Despite all the external unusualness and internal luxury, the house is uninhabited – it was put up for sale 14 years ago, and still no buyer has been found.
It’s not just the price, more than 400 million rubles are being asked for the mansion. The point is also in the high cost of maintaining such a domina. Just imagine how much heating will cost with a ceiling height of 3,2 meters! The area is rather big – more than 300 square meters.
Mansions in the form of a medieval fortress – with turrets, spiers and forged decorative elements – are a fairly popular architectural solution. The owners of such buildings literally put into practice the proverb “My home is my fortress.” And the most important thing here is scope.
For example, the area of this house, built in the style of a medieval fortress in the Moscow region, exceeds 1 square meters. m. The structure of untreated aerated concrete blocks looks like it was built several centuries ago. There are several observation towers with narrow loopholes.
An entrance hall, 2 living rooms, a dining room, 8 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a swimming pool, a sauna, a recreation room, a billiard room, 2 utility rooms, a laundry room, a gym, a security room, and a garage for four cars were placed on a solid area. And in the basement there is a 216 sq. m. In general, here you can safely wait out the many-day siege. And they ask for 24 million rubles for the citadel.
They asked for a million more not even for a fortress – a lonely “medieval” tower in Feodosia. A kind of alaverdi of the ancient history of this place, only from modern and sometimes experimental materials, according to the seller. Actually, by design, this building is a boathouse (a guest house on the coast), but it will be quite suitable for permanent residence.
“There are all communications – central water supply, electricity, central sewerage, natural gas, autonomous heating (gas boiler). Repairs have been made, everything was done from high-quality expensive materials, using modern technologies, sold with furniture and appliances, “- says the description of the lot.
Medieval castles
Variations on the theme of the family nest of a middle-class feudal lord or even blue-blooded ones is another architectural style so beloved by Russians. Such mansions with numerous pointed turrets are being built all over the country – “from Moscow to the very outskirts.”
For example, in Tyumen, near the Tura River, a 3-storey castle “Gray Cardinal” with an area of 480 sq. M. Is being sold. m. It was built using monolithic technology, lined with hand-molded bricks. Nine rooms, observation deck, utility rooms.
“Castle Gray Cardinal is waiting for a knight and a princess,” – calls the author of the ad, named Nikolai. You can become the owner of the castle for 32,99 million rubles. By the way, two years ago the “Gray Cardinal” was worth more than a million more. Apparently, they are in no hurry to buy the princely estate.
This two-story cottage, as if descended from the pages of fairy tales, is located closer to Moscow, on Nikolina Gora, 23 km from the Moscow Ring Road. “The facade of the house is faced with stone, decorated with turrets, stucco and mosaics“ poppies at sunrise ”.
Oak entrance door is decorated with hand-made forging. The interior – to match the house, is made in the neo-modern style with beams of precious wood on the ceiling and with parquet, which in a past life was wooden piles in Venice. Such a castle costs 517 million 564 thousand 600 rubles.
Against this background, the “dream castle” on Novorizhskoe highway is given almost for nothing – 12 million rubles. It is decorated in the style of a castle with two conical towers, four bay windows and balconies at different levels. It looks pretty impressive. There is no interior decoration, but the future owner will be given a ready-made design project.
Either a popular attraction all over the world, or a modern playground. “Home ownership” near St. Petersburg in a modern architectural style is literally surrounded by terraces and stairs. Two-storey cottage with an area of 350 sq. m is located on a plot of 15 acres. Five more are on the roof. The seller promises not only peace and quiet (“all the neighbors are built and live”), but also full service and warranty service (engineer, gardener, handyman, etc.). They ask for 39,9 million rubles for everything.
If the paradise in the hut has not worked out, the sweetheart can be moved to the teremok. Intricate designs with balconies, turrets, lights, terraces, an entrance with a porch. Buildings in the old Russian style are a balm for the soul of a Russian person. However, such designs are still not as common as the same locks. That is why they are guaranteed to attract the attention of others. In the suburbs of Moscow on Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway, a 2-storey cottage stylized as a Russian hut is being sold for 184 million 844 thousand 500 rubles.
A country estate made of rounded cedar logs with elements of the author’s eclecticism in the Russian style is located in Khimki. The author of the announcement is sure that this house is the number one contender for the title of the family nest.
“Exceptional materials from rare woods are collected here, furniture is custom-made specifically for the project, and interior accessories are carefully selected from premium collections,” reads the description.
Inside there is everything you need for “a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing life outside the city”: 5 sleeping blocks with dressing rooms and bathrooms and a personal spa area, on the site there are relict ship pines and spruces, “which makes it even more related to a fairytale tower.” The price of the issue is corresponding: 1 billion 361 million 323 thousand 620 rubles.
Sometimes it happens. A tiny house with an area of u1,2b uXNUMXb a small kopeck piece in a Khrushchev well, very much resembles the dwelling of Baba Yaga. Is that chicken legs are not enough. Svetlana from the Novosibirsk region asks for this country house in an ecologically clean place XNUMX million rubles. Only it seems to us that it is too expensive for an unfinished hut?
Or, as they say now, a domed house. A similar project of a suburban building is now not uncommon on sites for the sale of real estate. In ads, as a rule, the epithets “original”, “unusual”, “designer” are added to the combination of “domed house”. However, some of these houses look too pretentious.
Either a majestic ship, or the dwelling of some hobbit. This house, designed by the famous St. Petersburg architect, is called the real pearl of Pavlovsk. There are no annoying pitched flat roofs and sharp corners. The exterior is like a memory of the Silver Age of Russian architecture. For a bold design decision, the owner asks for 48,5 million rubles. And rest assured: there is no second such house in the whole world.
Of course, at first glance, this building has no external resemblance to marine life. But now look at the plan of the house. In the tail “fin” on the ground floor there is a garage for two cars, on the second there is a bedroom of more than 40 square meters. m. Specialists from one of the leading architectural firms in Switzerland worked on the project. For a house on Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway of an original shape and an area of 831 sq. m ask for 63,3 million.
Sooner or later, the caterpillar turns into a butterfly. True, not always beautiful. A modern-style cottage in the village of Sosnovy Bor in the Moscow Region resembles exactly this: gray, angular. In the basement, there is a swimming pool, wine room, cinema, massage room, several storage rooms and even a staff apartment. The first floor was divided into dressing rooms, a living room, a playroom for children, an office, a kitchen, a dining room and a hall. On the second floor there are several bedrooms. The area of this “snake” is 1150 sq. m, the price is 382 million 594 thousand 219 rubles.
Our last house in the list is not for sale. A married couple from St. Petersburg built the pharaohs’ dwelling exclusively for themselves. The building stands 12 km from St. Petersburg in the village of Istinka. The owners assure that this is a small copy of the Cheops pyramid. And they even started their own Instagram page for construction.
“The pyramid of Thoth is a nine-meter copy of the pyramid of Cheops. The pyramid has all the chambers of Cheops, a sarcophagus. The underground part of the Thoth pyramid is also 9 m, ”the description says.
