Just because you enjoy amenities like walls made of drywall and a home free of bats doesn't mean you can't appreciate the admittedly odd abodes that purposely contain much different features. When you take the Weird Homes Tour on Saturday, April 22nd, you'll have the opportunity to see some of these peculiar residences up close.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., you can explore these homes at your own pace. The self-guided Weird Homes Tour takes you to several "houses," including The Art Dome. In lieu of your typical walls, this cave-like abode showcases curved walls crafted from the rocky earth of an Austin hillside. It's lit almost entirely by natural light. Another eco-friendly home nearby, the Ebba Springs Wildlife Refuge, actually invites animals to share the space. Walls along the driveway were crafted with cubbies specifically to offer shelter to various birds, and a large bat cave in the front yard houses the winged creatures. Tour tickets start at $30, so snag yours now if you want to see these and other homes.
