$2.4 Million ‘Ultimate Hunting Paradise’ in North Dakota Is Filled With Taxidermied Trophies and Is the Week’s Most Popular Home

Deck the walls with deer and turkey!

A 160-acre “ultimate hunting paradise” with a luxury lodge, offered fully furnished, recently hit the market in Underwood, ND, for $2.4 million. And it quickly became the week’s most popular home on Realtor.com®.

This “wildlife haven,” which includes a gun safe and jaw-dropping number of taxidermied animals, had been offered with “most of the mounts” featuring stuffed pheasants, coyotes, and turkeys.

However, in an even stranger twist, having quickly trended upward in popularity, the property mysteriously disappeared from the market after just a few days.

Also grabbing attention this week were a luxurious desert estate in Scottsdale, AZ; a live/work building in St. Louis; and a bank-owned, A-frame cabin in Texas.

The sprawling lot filled with fruit trees and crop fields also boasted a luxury estate, an irrigated lake, a guest cabin, storage shed, and a workshop with a creepy-sounding “game cleaning area.”
