In your childhood or teenage years, you might have dreamt of owning your own castle or a treehouse. Maybe there would be slides and secret tunnels leading to hidden chambers. As an adult, in your mind, you might have upgraded to a pool, and a bar area, all preferably with a breathtaking view. Well, some children made their dreams come true and now they own the most bizarre homes ever.
On Zillow, the American tech real-estate marketplace that has gained quite a reputation on the internet as allegedly contributing to unaffordable housing, you can find all sorts of listings that are beyond imagination. From enormous villas to literal mancaves, you can find it all.
Thankfully an Instagram page called @zillowgonewild has got you covered with must-see Zillow listings in one place. So, pandas, we present you with these unique places in the hopes that seeing them will revive your inner child and make you look at housing a bit more creatively.
We wanted to get to know more about the creator of this Instagram page and their view of the list. Therefore Bored Panda got in touch with the account owner. See the interview in the text below.

If you thought that nothing good comes from boredom, well, then you are very much mistaken, my friend. Sure, we browse a lot of the internet these days to kill boredom, but that has its upsides too. You might stumble upon some inspiring, silly or, simply put, interesting content that is worth sharing with the world.
The @zillowgonewild Instagram account owner shares their most bizarre finds from Zillow. They commented that they use Zillow to escape boredom: “It’s something I do when I’m bored on my phone and look around for homes, either locally or like around the US.” Being on the Zillow website a lot, you can find ordinary homes and then some crazy ones. So this Instagram account creator decided to collect the best finds into one place. “I just felt like people were really into browsing Zillow and wanted to see the best of it,” they wrote in the interview.

If you’ve gone looking for advice on the internet, when googling ‘what makes a perfect home,’ you might have come across a list of must-haves such as a kitchen island, luxury shower, beautiful garden, a perfect flow of space, gorgeous flooring, a comfy sofa, individual style, and some more. But in the end, every person is different, and I believe that ‘the perfect’ home is not just how the interior and exterior look, but also how you feel living there.
When @zillowgonewild was asked the same question, they responded: “that’s tough! it really depends on what someone needs.”
