There’s No Place Like a Jetson Home

A mountainside house will be auctioned off to the highest bidder this weekend. It has become a favorite stop-over for picture takers so if you can tolerate a lack of privacy, even in the woods, then this flying saucer house my be your next home.

Called a circular home, this was the talk of the town back in the 70’s, but today, even though we’ve come several steps closer in our technology to the age envisioned by the likes of Roddenberry, Heinlein and Bradbury, from the outside this house looks cool, but strangely outdated.

The UFO styled house made a landing in the Signal Mountain range near Chattanooga, Tennessee over 30 years ago.

The ringed home boasts of three bedrooms, two baths retractable staircases, all being held up by six landing pods.

Built from scratch, this one is unlike those pre-fab saucer homes that were all the rage several years back. The builder, the late Curtis W. King, paid meticulous attention to detail with this Tennessee saucer.

“It really looked like a spaceship ready to take off,” realtor Lois Killebrew told the Associated Press.

Speaking of the King family who were the first residents of the unique house Killebrew said, “they liked to do unusual things.”
