Ha! Must go shopping for homes of -- this one looks interesting.

Long lap pool or water feature under metal structure

This one comes with its own padded room and chamber. Very James-Bond-Tryst-ish in this theme.

Padded room appears to be a bed?! Very pink.

Hmm, is this a torture chamber, bedroom, or?! Doesn't look like you'd get a good cell signal in there. Still feels like it would be perfect for a . (Edit: AHA, IT IS a Faraday Cage! All Copper!)

@ai6yr that kitchen looks uncomfortable to cook in. The whole house looks uncomfortable!

Already has a dirt track around the compound for the security staff to tool around in their vehicles. Need to make sure they are wearing black turtlenecks, however. Wonder where they normally land the helicopter? This interesting structure isn't in the listing.

Structure with some kind of round set of stones or fence in a circle.

"commissioned by Rebecca Oppenheimer, an heiress to the De Beers diamond fortune. ...A beekeeper looks after the honey bees, and there is also a greenhouse and a chicken coop. There is also a saltwater pool, a heliport and a barn with three bedrooms for guests. When it came to the landscaping, Ms. Oppenheimer said she was inspired by the Garden of Cosmic Speculation, a sculpture garden is west Scotland that was based on modern cosmology.

@ai6yr oh, and the wildfire risk out there is pretty equivalent to California these days. Pass!

@ai6yr I wonder how many folks can live in the groundskeeper house

@ai6yr I had high hopes for the interior because the exterior is interesting and I like the way it melts into the landscape. But that interior was all kinds of awful! 🥴 An Oppenheimer - De Beers heiress with a home in unremarkable Tenino. Weird.

Via South Sound Magazine:

“I envision the next owners to be a little quirky, or somebody who just loves the unusualness of it and likes quiet and the solitude of nature,” Oppenheimer said. “Somebody who loves growing veggies and picking fruit from trees and has some taste for a contemporary lifestyle with a slightly feminine flaunt. Someone who thinks the house is fantastic.

“I’m not sure who that person is, but I imagine they are somewhere," she concluded.

@mgrass Fascinating! (In California terms really not expensive... but it IS quirky, and in the middle of nowhere.)

@ai6yr I would not have suspected that house to be in Tenino, WA!

“Ms. Oppenheimer said she made the home as self-sustaining as possible. … There is also a saltwater pool, a heliport and …”
I think it goes without saying that the helicopter lifestyle can never be self sustaining, but I’m saying it anyway.

@ai6yr if it rains a bit will that stairwell get flooded? Free water slide though!
