Tucked among the pines in Evergreen, CO, is a charming cabin with a checkered past. It was previously used as a meth cook house and remains contaminated at potentially dangerous levels. The listing details read like something out of “Breaking Bad” and helped make the hazardous home this week’s most popular place on realtor.com®.
The good news? A buyer could score a great deal on the mountain property listed for $275,000. But the large chemical caveat looms—the place will probably need to be scraped and/or remediated to remove any remnants of hazardous substances. So how badly do you want to live in the mountains, anyway?
The Colorado cook house isn’t the only offbeat property you clicked on this week. Our list is full of quirky properties with privacy to spare, including a circular house on 8 acres in New York, a modern farmhouse on 7 acres in Georgia, and a wild underground bunker buried under the southern Arizona desert.
It’s a list brimming with quirky properties for people who like to do their own thing away from prying eyes—within the boundaries of the law, of course.

1. 5076 Camel Heights Rd, Evergreen, CO
Price: $275,000
Why it’s here: When you see these words in the listing description, you can’t help but be a little curious: “Entrance to the residence is STRICTLY PROHIBITED due to meth contamination unless buyer is accompanied by someone certified under Colorado law for such entry.”
But buyers who aren’t bothered by a bit of chemical contamination could score a great deal on a gorgeous property among the pines, covering a third of an acre. Being sold as-is, the three-bedroom cabin was built in 1956 and will either need to be torn down or completely remediated.
