The world’s coolest swimming pool could be yours
A unique home in the “opal capital of the world” has hit the market, but its location isn’t the coolest thing about it.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom home in Coober Pedy, South Australia, is both completely underground and boasts its very own indoor swimming pool, located in the main entertaining room.
Dubbed “Faye’s Underground Home”, the property is lived-in - a rarity for the area - and open to tourists, who can pay a small fee to go on a guided tour.
The home’s six main rooms include the three bedrooms and entertaining room, as well as a kitchen, lounge and dining room with a built-in bar, and a wine cellar.
According to the listing, the home features jade walls, timber details, and bursts of retro colour.
It was originally a one-bedroom dug-out that the local mail truck driver called home, before being converted into the residence it is today.
While a price guide hasn’t been set for the home, Domain has reported that the median house price for Coober Pedy sits at around $74,500 ($NZ 79,650), having increased by 12.9 percent since last year.
Located 846 kilometres north of Adelaide, Coober Pedy has a population of 1769 people mostly over the age of 60.
