Unusual Real Estate: The Sleeper House in Colorado


One of the most interesting and unusual pieces of real estate in the United States is located on Genesee Mountain in Jefferson County, Colorado. It’s referred to as the Sleeper house because it was featured in Woody Allen’s science fiction flick Sleeper. It’s also known as the Sculptured House, and its design features an elliptical curve and a spaceship look:
 
Once listed as one America’s Ugliest Mansions by Forbes, this home was built in 1963 by architect Charles Deaton. The budget for building the Sleeper house ran out before the house was even finished. The home sat vacant and unfinished until 1999 when it was finally purchased. The interior was completed in 2003 by Deaton’s daughter. It was sold in 2006 to a Denver entrepreneur, and by 2010 the owner could not make the payments. The home was sold again under a foreclosure auction that same year.
Here’s a great view of the Sleeper House featuring the beautiful Front Range:
