ZILLOW GONE WILD (Michigan Edition)
2889 W Sunset Dr, Roscommon, MI, $399,999 (just dropped $25K)

This one has an earthen roof. As in, dirt on the roof, by design, it's an earth-sheltered home built into the land, which is apparently why the inside stays cool and quiet. 3 beds, 3 baths, 10 acres near Higgins Lake, sold fully furnished.

Bonus: it's flipped twice since 2021; $186K, then $285K, then $300K, and now back on the market pushing $400K.

Would you live half-buried in the ground for peace and quiet?

ZILLOW GONE WILD

11904 Newman Rd, Brighton, MI $499,900

This place sold for $87,000 in 2023 as a cash-only "tear it down" fixer... and it turned out to be a literal dome home. Someone renovated it instead of bulldozing it, and now it's a two-story living room with a skylight, a sunken conversation pit around the fireplace, a spiral staircase, and original porthole windows. The kitchen backsplash is even made from the home's original Japanese floor tile.

$87K to $499,900. Wild flip, wilder house.
