We’ve got some really unusual homes in New York. We’ve got historic homes, homes designed by famous people, and some places that are just plain wacky. One Empire State residence that definitely belongs in all three of those categories is a fanciful home in Saugerties. This place is absolutely whimsical and has ties to both the Grateful Dead and The Muppets. The quirky towering home looks straight out of a fairy tale, and if you’ve got a spare $799,000 lying around, it could be yours.
This home has an interesting history that explains its unique appearance. It was designed and built by John Kahn. Kahn was a bassist who collaborated with Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead.
The property was actually originally a quarry park. It's now got five beautiful acres of wooded forest to explore, and there are even a few of Kahn's original sculptures tucked away throughout the land.
The round shape and many windows allow for so much natural light to come in. The home is primarily made of reclaimed materials, including bamboo and copper. Everything looks absolutely stunning bathed in the New York sun.
If you’re interested in the property and have some spare change lying around, it’s currently available for sale. For more information, check out the listing on Zillow.
