This Isn't a House, It's a WTF Hut on 0.89 Acres for $70K

Okay, real talk. Have you ever scrolled through Zillow and landed on something that just makes you stop and go, "Wait, WHAT is this?" Yeah, this is that. Forget your cookie-cutter bungalows and McMansions. This is… different. Like, "did someone win a bet and have to build this?" different.

For under $70k, you can own a piece of what appears to be a seriously industrial-chic, possibly military-surplus, hunting lodge. It's on 0.89 acres and has zero bedrooms and zero bathrooms. So, what IS it? A very sturdy, very corrugated, steel enigma.

Anyone know why every wall is rounded? Adobe vibes in a metal hut.

Zillow Listing

So, what exactly are you getting for your $69,999? It’s a Quonset hut, folks. If you don't know what that is, think of those curved metal buildings you see on farms or at construction sites. This one, however, is touted as "remarkably durable" and built from "commercial-grade steel" that can apparently "endure harsh weather conditions." It’s currently pitched as a "hunting camp designed for the true outdoorsman," and it’s conveniently located near the St. Mary's River for some legendary salmon and trout fishing. It’s got a dug well, a septic system, and a wood stove for heat.

All the plumbing is done, which is… something. It’s sitting on a slab foundation and has a steel roof and siding. It's been on the market for a whopping 454 days, so clearly, it's not for everyone. But if you're into the off-grid, no-frills, survivalist vibe with a side of WWII history, this might just be your weird little slice of heaven. Or, you know, just a really solid metal box on some land.
