In July, a $349,000 listing for a Las Vegas house started making waves on the Nevada real-estate market. That's because the ranch-style home was crafted to resemble an 18th-century pirate ship.
After buying the $76,900 house in 2010, the former owners spent the last 13 years and $100,000 transforming its rooms into a fictitious realm.
Within a week of being listed, the property sold for thousands of dollars over its asking price, agent Ashea Lindell-Gray told Insider. Its new owners intend to keep the home's interiors intact.
Lindell-Gray said that the former owner drew inspiration from the blockbuster hit "Pirates of the Caribbean."
"The first ride they ever rode at Disneyland was Pirates of the Caribbean," she said. "They remember entering another world and it felt like a fantasy." The environment made them feel safe and they wanted to recreate the atmosphere in their own home someday, she said.
The pirate ship-inspired home weaves a tale of the high seas into everyday living, offering an immersive experience for anyone who steps inside. It features plank-like flooring, a wet bar, a private casita, and several bedrooms suitable for Captain Jack Sparrow.
"It's amazing that the home's former owners were able to do this all by themselves," Lindell-Gray said adding that, "the home is such a labor of love and pictures really don't do it justice."
