Title: Unique “Cave House” Hits Ohio Real Estate Market for $400,000
Concord, Ohio – A one-of-a-kind home that resembles something out of “The Flintstones” has recently been listed on the real estate market for $400,000. Nestled within the walls of a cave-like sculpture, this extraordinary property offers a truly unique living experience.
The 3,597-square-foot home features five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms, all discreetly tucked within its cave walls. In addition to its unconventional design, the house comes equipped with a wood-burning fireplace, a two-car garage, and sits on over an acre of land.
Howard Hanna listing agent Jacqueline Ward, who described this property as “the most interesting listing” she has ever taken on, provided further details. The expansive home spans nearly 4,000 square feet and boasts a kitchen and dining room located within the cave house itself.
“This was absolutely the most interesting listing I’ve ever taken on,” Ward shared. “And it has a fantastic history to it.”
Commissioned in 1970 by the original owners, the property was designed to align with their vision of raising their children. Instead of buying or building a conventional home, they decided to commission a larger-than-life sculpture to live in. Named “Chant du Cygne” and created by renowned sculptor Wayne Trapp, this iconic landmark house became the largest sculpture Trapp has ever made.
According to Ward, interest in the property has been spurred by its recognition status. Its unique design and historical significance have attracted potential buyers who envision using the space for both living and creative purposes. Ward believes the property offers potential for various income streams, including short-term rentals or artistic exhibitions in what she describes as an “immersion space.”
“The ‘greatest amenity’ of the property is the ‘completely organic’ lifestyle it promotes,” Ward points out. The handmade walls within the house create an ever-changing ambiance based on the natural interplay of light and shadows throughout the day, offering a truly unique and immersive living experience.
While the property requires some restorative maintenance due to its age, Ward hopes that someone will come forward to restore it to its former glory.
“If you’re interested in immersion space or art gallery space, or just unique visionary living, this is definitely a property you would want to look into,” Ward added.
