Look out! They’re outside!
Oh no! The rocks are at the door!
After this picture was taken, the zombie rocks made their way upstairs and ATE ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE. But I won’t show you those photos, because they’re gross.

Loveliest comment, by Andrew: LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU! You know all those pet rocks people bought in the ’70s? And then tossed them out? They’re grown, they’re back… and they’re mad.

Besides the outcrop which is apparently a member of the family, the house is faced with fieldstone, there’s a rock fireplace and chimney, and the kitchen appears to have granite (or something) counters. I would really like to know what the bathrooms look like!
Nooooooo! This is my worst nightmare! I’m NEVER going to sleep tonight.
You’re scared of rocks? That’s an unusual phobia.
I’m scared of people eating rocks. Who wouldn’t be?
Other people-eating-rocks?
I’m scared of people eating rocks, too. Those people must have some strong teeth. I wouldn’t want to get bitten by them.
I showed this picture to the medical person in our family. She said the pictures of the hallway with the giant boulder made her feel ill, as it looked like the house had cancer.
Not everyday you see houses outfitted with rocks for washing your laundry or crushing acorns. And, you don’t have to buy expensive toys like string for your kids; just tell ‘em, “Go play on the rocks!”
By the looks of that last picture, they need to trim back the two rocks that are growing into the patio.
Actually, I love this house. Too bad it’s Inthemiddleofnowhere, CA. Also $340,000, which I don’t happen to have lying around.
Guess it was easier to build the house around the rocks than attempt to move them. Yup, Tehachapi wouldn’t be on anyone’s top ten places to live I wouldn’t think.
Tehachapi is a nice area for people who like to fly gliders. Probably still not in the top ten even for that though.
A friend of mine lived in a nice circa 1900 house for a while which had an immense boulder in the basement. In that case I suppose the builders just decided it was easier to build around it since they didn’t have bulldozers back then. This house seems to have been built by a person who just adores rocks though.
They would probably have had to use dynamite to blow the large boulder up into smaller fragments. I’d imagine that by the time somebody has bought a plot of land, cleared away the trees, dug up the top-soil, excavated the outline foundations of the building, it is too late to say, “oh, beggar, we better build somewhere else”.
The owners must be hardcore fans of the Dick Van Dyke Show:

This was exactly what I was thinking!
But there’s a rock! In our basement! A big rock!
Just a little worried by that giant crack going across the street. When the earthquake comes, which side snaps off?
Awesome!
But I’m not sure about the long-term stability of some of those boulders. An earthquake could rearrange that house in all sorts of interesting ways.
Forget about the rocks, I want to know what 3/4 of a bathroom is!
OK, I did my homework, and in case anyone else wonders, it’s got a toilet, sink and shower but no bathtub.
I actually had a home that was not quite so extreme as that but it was built in, on, and amidst the big granite rocks (stones?boulders?)that were in place.
Appropriately, the street name was El Granito
Great granite gizzards! Talk about living between a rock and a hard place! Perhaps you need to be stoned to live there – or like rock music.
So, I’m just wondering – would you count the rocks on the inside as part of your square footage?
I actually think this is pretty awesome, but the pics have a very ominous tone to them. The denuded trees and brewing storm make it seem like the perfect setting for horror.
What are they trying to appease some obscure rock god?
Just what you want in earthquake country.
Maybe it was the quarry where Fred and Barney worked in a far, far distant, cartoon past.
I’ve seen something like this and houses built around trees but I sure hope the zombie rocks would show some mercy to the people in the house.
Better pack a chicken.
Dorothy.
Well, at least you’d have gneiss neighbors.
(thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the chicken.)
gneiss neighbors
*groan*
*Throws a rock at Di*
Anybody else notice how the listing describes the lot as both “level” and “rolling”?
Yeah, I was wondering about that too; can’t figure out where the ‘level’ part comes in (both front & back yards are nothin’ but boulder: NOT level!), but I’m guessing the ‘rolling’ is during the up-comments about earthquakes…..

Clearly this is the home of Ludo from Labyrinth. “Rocks friends!”
WANT!! I love the rocks. To #%&* with a lawn! Give me the rock garden!
But not in California. Upstate NY, Vermont, New Hampshire, yes–but not California.
Oh, and for a lot less than $300,000.
Clearly, the zombie rocks have already gotten to my brain.
Why is the entrance to the garage chained off?
that’s the king-rock’s throne room?
I’ve never seen a “boulder” choice of design!
cleveland is wrong, THIS is the house that rock built.
They’re being invaded by Hortas. Spock must come mindmeld with the creatures.
