Back in 2009, one of the most peculiar homes in America turned up on eBay, with a starting bid of $300,000. The 15,000-square-foot property, which included a living room/bathroom and three bedrooms, was located in Festus, Missouri—and cut into the side of a mountain. Did we mention there was a family living in it?

The actual listing

What I'm trying to figure out is why there is a patio umbrella over the table - does that mean there are bit and pieces of whatever continually falling from the ceiling?

No, because I know someone who lived in house built into a hill and snakes laid eggs in her walls. They hatched and her house was overrun by them. I have nightmares about that to this day and she wound up selling it for a loss.

No, too dark and dank for me!

I wonder how much water drips from the ceilings. Maybe that explains the umbrella. Any cave I've been in has been really damp and drippy.

No, because of stale air and no ventilation. Not to mention claustrophobic. And I agree with previous posts, also because of drippy water and snakes and spiders. The idea gives me the creeps.

No way. The longest I ever spent in a cave was in a restaurant in Mexico, in a huge cave near the Teotihuacan pyramids. It was cool and atmospheric but after an hour or so I wanted out.

Never mind the snakes and spiders, just the cold and damp alone would put me off. Not to mention no windows. But if there were a nuclear holocaust, living in a cave might have some advantages.
