Strange But True: Home For Sale, Lot Not Included

There is a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom rambler for sale in Chaska. Ron Olson is even willing to deliver it to a lot of your choice, as long as it's close to Chaska.

Ron is a contractor who runs an excavation company, acquired with the custom-built house after he was hired last fall to demolish it on a lot in Chaska MN. The home had suffered some smoke damage after some paint rags caught fire during the finishing process. The buyers didn't want it though, so the builder offered to tear it down and build a new one. Rather than haul it to a landfill, Ron decided to recycle the house, which would have sold for $600,000 at its former location.

"It's really a waste to take a perfectly good house that can be cleaned up fairly easily and throw it away like it's garbage," he said. "Ethically, I don't think we should be doing that."

The house is currently sitting on a trailer on Bavaria Road, waiting for a home... Uh... to be moved.
