If you’re looking for the most mind-blowingly bizarre homes on the planet, you’ve come to the right place! From a towering log cabin in Alaska to a Batman-inspired home in Mexico, these crazy homes go to the extremes of architectural possibility and human imagination. 

If you’re interested in learning more about this unusual home the pair run tours of Freedom Cove during the summer months allowing visitors to understand their way of life. Love this? See more sustainable off-grid dwellings.

The home went on the market back in 2015 for $4.2million (£3.28m), though it wasn’t bought until 2017 for a much lower price of $2.8 million (£2.18m). It was bought by media mogul Florence Fang, who confessed she had had her eye on it for a number of years.

When local authorities considered building a nuclear power plant near his home, Rolf Disch wasn’t having any of it. After campaigning against the plans, he began looking into solar power and so the Heliotrope – a rotating, solar-powered home – was born.

The towering architectural home went on the market back in 2017, for $1.5million, although it later sold for just $755,000. For such an unusual property, we think it’s an absolute steal! Love this house? Check out more properties with unbelievable views.

This striking complex of colourful, bubble-shaped apartments was designed by architects Arakawa and Madeline Gins. The unusual name comes from their philosophy of creating buildings that stimulate the senses, with the goal of extending life through architectural design. 

While he admits he’s no Lord of the Rings fan himself, Grant does get a number of curious fans stopping by the property and says he’s happy to receive visitors. Fancy living like Bilbo Baggins? Check out more real-life hobbit houses
 

If living in a rural treehouse is your dream, this unusual wooden home might be just the ticket. The building is raised up on stilts with a round, undulating roof and although it’s not actually built around a tree, the style of the home leads architects to refer to it as such.

Designed by Monoarchi architects, the holiday home is located on the banks of a stream that is nestled between the mountains in the rural village of Zhongcun.  

Artisans who live and work in the area used locally-sourced wood to create the structure which helps it to feel part of the landscape despite its strikingly unusual design. Check out more tiny cabins in the woods

When it comes to weird homes, this bold and beautiful creation in the Jaimanitas neighbourhood of Havana more than fits the bill. The sprawling, sculpture-adorned property is (naturally) home to a painter and sculptor, Jose Fuster, which is where the residence gets its name from. 

Looking at this picture, it’s no wonder that tourists flock to see this unusual home. The artist offers tours of Fusterlandia for free, although the local economy benefits from the influx of visitors – meaning that Fuster has had an extremely positive impact on Jaimanitas.

Visitors to Alaska might be surprised to spot this towering, cartoonish-looking house in the skyline. Yet despite looking like it’s been plucked straight out of a Dr Seuss book, the 12-storey, 185-foot tower wasn’t built in homage to any of the books' wacky illustrations. ​

If you’re keen on seeing the house for yourself, the best way to get a view is by taking the Alaskan railway through Talkeetna – or it can be glimpsed from the highway if you’re driving. Some intrepid fans have even approached the house to take photographs, although it is technically on private property.
