Incredible spinning home hits the market for $1.3 million

A futuristic-style home for sale will stun with its innovation.

The three-bedroom, one-bathroom property at 179 Maraetai Drive in the coastal town of Maraetai in Auckland, New Zealand, is a fully-rotating house.

Agent Carolyn Hanson of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty reveals on the listing that the home “can spin continuously and complete a full 360-degree rotation in just 33 minutes”.

The owner, who is also the designer of the property, is accepting offers, with the price guide advertised as $NZD1.49 million ($AU1,372,649).

Called The Lighthouse, the home commands attention from the street with its elevated and circular design.

As stated on the listing, construction on the property began in the 1990s and took nearly two decades, with owner and designer Don Dunick overcoming technical challenges.

Glass sliding doors run around the perimeter, allowing for both bushland and sea views as the home rotates.

The interior aesthetic reflects the exterior’s space-age feel with a spiral staircase, stainless steel and retro colours.

The home is being marketed as either a permanent residence, Airbnb investment or holiday home.

Located along the idyllic Pohutukawa Coast, the property is in walking distance of Maraetai Beach.
