Kicking off an EPIC #FridayNightZillow, exclusively tonight on Mastodon, with a RADIOACTIVE RESORT in New Mexico!
Boasting "the hottest, strongest natural radium springs IN THE WORLD," the Radium Hot Springs resort features tons of history, a Billy the Kid connection, gorgeous scenery, and well, radium! $2.499M for 15BR, 15BA, 17K sf. Previously $6M so we're getting a discount!
Follow along, share, comment. It's meant to be an escape from the madness of daily life. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2200-County-Road-D061-Las-Cruces-NM-88007/2067508049_zpid/
Found this article on the history: "The Springs became a sacred place, and no horseman was allowed to ride within a mile of the steaming waters. Even Geronimo, the famous Apache Chief, used to make his camp nearby, so he and his warriors could bathe in the revitalizing waters.” It was also used by Spanish settlers and denizens of nearby Fort Selden (of "Buffalo Soldiers" fame): More at the link: #FridayNightZillow https://oregontechsfcdn.azureedge.net/oregontech/docs/default-source/geoheat-center-documents/quarterly-bulletin/vol-23/art13.pdf?sfvrsn=91208d60_4
The place features some funky desert art, a main lodge building, a sweet deck overlooking the water. #FridayNightZillow
Hey look. In addition to the outdoor hot springs you also get these historic indoor tubs, with the radium waters piped in. People used to flock to the place for the supposed healing powers of the waters. And, while radioactive, it's not THAT radioactive, right? Right???#FridayNightZillow
The place was built in 1931 by Harry Bailey, a friend of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Pretty neat. Not sure what this room is? #FridayNightZillow
Found this cool profile of the owners, a fun couple of realtors from El Paso who have been renovating the place since 2019. When they bought it, it still had remnants of its time as a *women's prison*! “When I bought (the building), it still had the prison doors in each room,” Juan said.

I think the idea is you commute to work anywhere you want. And then, bam, you are right back here at your beautiful house. #FridayNightZillow
Gotta give props to the stellar TV placement here. Maybe pilots value their necks more than other humans? #FridayNightZillow
This $6.9M, 14,000 sf mansion includes a diner in the basement, a sweet theater and a literal wine cave. Indian Wells, California. I keep hearing there is a water crisis but if that's true why is there a green golf course here? #FridayNightZillow https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/47865-E-Vintage-Dr-Indian-Wells-CA-92210/18077449_zpid/?

This is one of the sweeter kitchens I've seen. You get the island archipelago common to modern mega mansions, subtle colors, etc. Not really my style, but maybe it's yours! #FridayNightZillow
The his and hers closets are truly bonkers, but for $20M, they better be. #FridayNightZIllow
PARTY SHOWER OF THE WEEK. And maybe the year! (We vote on New Year's Eve!) It's enormous and I l lost count of just how many nozzles are in here. I bet the plumber got to pay for his vacation home out of this job. #FridayNightZillow
I can't even imagine having a ONE ACRE ARTIFICIAL LAWN, but it is the state that brought us Astroturf, so.... #FridayNightZillow

Cozy fireplace. I want these chairs. Where can I buy them? #FridayNightZillow
This is close to my fantasy kitchen. Beautiful + functional + my favorite color wood. #FridayNightZillow.
This is a house I'd feel comfortable living in. Reminds me of my parents in a comforting way. #FridayNightZillow
We hope you enjoyed #FridayNIghtZillow. Special thanks to my sister-in-law, my wife, tipsters and those of you who made it over here to gawk, share, comment and enjoy a respite from this week's craziness. See y'all next week.
@steventdennis Thank you, that was fun!
@steventdennis these are fabulous! Sent them to friends who aren’t on Twitter/mastodon. The more ridiculous the better. Lol
@steventdennis
This worked better than the bird site. A couple very livable houses, too. I want the mid-century one.
Thanks much.
#FridayNightZillow
@steventdennis Worked fine on Mastodon. Thanks for the fantasy houses (and I am once again thankful to NOT have a party shower)
@amarajf I'm sure they are A LOT of work to clean.
@steventdennis Another great night of being transported into worlds I’ll never know. Cheers! And welcome to Mastodon!
@steventdennis, thank you for bringing #FridayNightZillow to Mastodon. I’ve looked forward to it every weekend on Twitter. So glad you’re here.
@steventdennis The living room looks like a comfy coffee shop and I'm okay with that.
@steventdennis this is the first time I’ve truly considered moving to Arkansas. Beautiful!
@steventdennis The chairs look very similar to some they had at a lake clubhouse in East Texas. My playground in the late 1950s.
@steventdennis that indoor pond is ❤️
@steventdennis You grew up with an indoor koi pond?
@sdonnan No but those chairs are very similar to my parents' chairs. And the color palette of the house generally.
@steventdennis you’re dating yourself.
@steventdennis you'd need a library ladder to access those cabinets, I like the shelf tower.
@steventdennis I would live in Arkansas for this house.
@steventdennis I am in love with this house.
@steventdennis It's beautiful and I also like the wood, and there's no way that stack of shelves would be anything but a cat tree if I lived there, so it's probably for the best I don't.
@steventdennis So you don’t plan on actually cooking anything? Great feels, brilliant storage, with neat line-of-sight visual impact. But NO food prep. space, or space to arrange ingredients. A kitchen for one-pot cooking!
@steventdennis The shelves on that pillar in the middle of the room give me the heebee jeebees for some reason.

@steventdennis that shelf is really neat!!

Now I’m trying to think how to fit it into my kitchen.

@steventdennis Not enough photos to evaluate for me, but from what I see it is too cramped for me.
@JamesJCotter For me it's cozy, like the house I grew up in. You won't have acres to put every appliance on a dedicated piece of counter though.
@steventdennis it’s cozy like the the galley on my boat, just not adequate to accomplish cooking the way my family does with two three cooks doing different things as preparation occurs. The rest of the house I absolutely love.
@steventdennis Ooooh, no, I have a client that sells chairs like that, crazy beautiful to look at and mad uncomfortable after about 10 mins…!

@steventdennis
That's stunning! I live in a 1955 ranch, have for decades. I bought it for the yard, and I have warmed to the MCM style. It lives so comfortably, and I slowly began to see what seemed stark and charmless as spare and flowing.
@steventdennis This is my favorite house that you have ever posted on #FridayNightZillow Hands down.
@steventdennis
70 years and 1.5 Million?? Isn't it close to its end of lifetime?
@steventdennis The architect E. Fay Jones apprenticed w/ Frank Lloyd Wright, can def see that influence. Prairie School goes to the Ozarks. Jones also designed furniture – maybe those chairs are his
@sadele2 @steventdennis I wondered about this! The house is so fully integrated with the natural setting.
@steventdennis I sure hope those are heated floors
@steventdennis back in high school a bunch of us made a haunted house type maze with this exact decor, minus the gym stuff
@steventdennis Is it just me or did they also decorate the exposed hot water heater?
@steventdennis Seems appropriate for a state that will soon be under water. But excessively expensive.
@steventdennis I forgot I followed #fridaynightzillow and got happily surprised by my own algorithm!
@steventdennis I live in miami and no, we are not alright. This is also wild because this is a dull commuter suburb of gated places!! Contents don’t match the wrapper
@steventdennis That place is amazing. Needs more and better furniture, but those views are gorgeous.
