Canadian ‘funhouse’ goes on the market for $875,000

With its glass hallways, circular doors and brightly-coloured walls, this property certainly boasts plenty of character.

The sprawling 22,604 sq ft home in Saint-Damase-de-L’Islet, Quebec, Canada, is made up from interlocking stacked blocks that are connected by narrow tubular corridors that open out into portals in the rooms.

While it might stand out with its unusual 1970s architecture and striking interior design, it also offers lots of space for family living with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a number of reception rooms. 

The property, which stands alone in a beautiful piece of countryside, has recently gone on the market for $875,000 CAD (£494,000).

The home offers stunning views of the surrounding greenery and encompasses a sprawling 22,604 square feet.

Designed by Canadian architect Jacques de Blois in 1972, broker Chantal Dussault believes the property could be a charming family home or could easily become a trendy bed and breakfast.

Speaking about the ideal buyer, Chantal said: ‘They would be nature lovers or an operator of a B&B. In the winter the house is even accessible directly by a ramp for snowmobiles’.

The property comes with three bedrooms, one pictured, two baths and a number of terraces and reception rooms

And the current owners are keen to pass their labour of love onto another loving owner. 

‘They love their home, but are moving away after being transferred for work,’ Chantal added.

‘It is important for them that the buyer takes care of the property.’
