Do you like to look at houses for sale, and occasionally find some weird stuff?

I think the Marshals would rather you be in the house in Ely in post #3, bracc.
what would they be worried netflix would send a camera crew and start filming?

For Boulder that is a relatively cheap home. I had friends considering moving up there who struggled to find anything below a million. The place they were close to putting in an offer was on the outskirts of town in a house that needed complete renovation plus some structural work. Probably needed $150-200k of work. It was listed at $900k and at the time probably sold for over $950k if not a million.
Floorplan seems disjointed and it's not my style, but the only thing I truly found "weird" was that there was absolutely no separation between the master bedroom and master bathroom. Nothing a little framing and drywall won't fix...
Again, the only weird thing I see here is that there's no bath/shower. But clearly this is a rustic weekend cabin sort of situation, and what you're really paying for is 5+ acres of land and owning shoreline.
Two types of people would buy that place. The first would be very outdoorsy people who want it for a weekend getaway, and maybe can deal with the concept of the dry shower if they're only there 2-3 days at a time. The second are people who are going to view it as a teardown and build something much more impressive on 5+ acres of land.
Possibly a third - Ted Kaczynski.

If you are referring to what I think, that isn't between a bedroom and a bathroom. The other side of that doorway (that I don't think had a door?) was the kitchen, not a bedroom.
Unless that giant bathroom is also supposed to have a bed in it? I'd put a fancy tub in there.
for malting? i never really thought of you as the bubble bath sorta person?

Like a jacuzzi / hot tub
This one. Looks like the master bedroom to me. And yeah, you're right, it's right off the kitchen.
The more I look at some of the pictures, the more weird this house is looking in other ways too. So I'm changing my position on that ;-)
Hahaha, never thought about looking for "gems". Whenever I travel thought, everyone in the car is on Zillow checking home prices. Our trip to southern California (Anaheim, San Diego, and LA) was quite fun. Don't even show up unless you want to spend a million. That first house you posted is a bi-level. What a crazy concept. So popular when I was a kid in the 70's, but as an adult I realize half your floor space is basically in a basement and the upper floor is too small. Not to mention having to make a choice which stairs to climb whenever you enter your home.

That's also supposed to be a bedroom???
I thought it was just an incredibly spacious bathroom.
People are weird.
now that i look, it's like a norweigan jail cell vibe.....
A toilet on hardwood floors. Gross.

Given the grab bar, guessing living room and dining room converted to a suite for someone elderly.

I currently have a toilet on carpeting. I wear shoes when I go into that room.
Yep, bought a house with carpet in the bathroom. They laid it over the original time floor. Pulled that up right away.

Built with Feng Shui principles, includes small apple orchard...I could find peace here.....
I like it, we have an 'open door' policy anyway. This way we can carry on a conversation uninterrupted.

Indeed.
We've joked about ordering a custom double-barrel throne. And I was only half joking.

Some real estate sites have updated pictures with that sign poorly photoshopped out 
You know, a smart realtor would stage that room with a few vintage Pound Puppies and call it a day.

That’s a hunting cabin. You’re paying to hunt on your own land and have a group of people there every weekend during hunting season. There’s likely a well outside and “showers” consist of dousing yourself with ice cold water.
I saw a vanity license plate that said "
2 LB"My wife didn't understand why I thought it was so hilarious... Because she thought it was about Long Beach.
I sent it the pic to a college buddy, and he had the same thought I did.
Gorgeous property, but the bugs alone ruin it for me. Don' t they have mosquitos in Hawaii?
Yes they do, worst some months more than others but there are dry microclimates where it isn’t a terrible problem.

This is what happens when people try to force an old home to meet new build expectations of large open rooms. I'd guess this was an owner remodel where they worked room by room which explains why some of the rooms look like they still need a lot of work. I'd also guess that main floor had a completely different floorplan when it was built.
