Well-heeled investors or eccentric music lovers wanted: A home built in the shape of a guitar is currently up for sale in Georgia, USA.
Posted at 12:00 p.m.
For the sum of US$789,000, you could get your hands on a house that, from the air, looks almost in every way like an acoustic guitar. Located in Fayetteville, a municipality of nearly 20,000 inhabitants, it has an area of 3122 square feet. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
Broker Jane Piven, responsible for the sale, added in an interview that the home was located in a residential area, “outside the city center limits”. The official announcement, on the Zillow site, mentions that it is possible to sublet the property to three different groups of people, if ever the buyer chooses to convert the residence into Airbnb-type accommodation.
The question that comes naturally: despite its shape, is this house-guitar functional? “There have been major renovations in the last three to five years,” notes Ms.me Piven. However, there is still work to be done: one of the showers in particular needs refurbishment. “There’s a kitchen that hasn’t been installed yet, but otherwise the house is turnkey,” she continues.
In the basement, you can find an older fireplace, which can be left as it is to keep a warmer touch, or renovated for a more modern look.

The house was imagined by a country music singer.
Skeptics
The guitar house has been for sale on the US real estate market since the beginning of July. Although there is about one visit per week, potential buyers seem reluctant.
The guitar is a really strange and difficult concept to master. People are skeptical about living there.

Built in 1986, the building was designed by local country music singer Elvis L. Carden. He even lived there for a while before selling it to other people.
Mme Piven assures that the roof, which seems fragile, according to comments posted on social networks, is very solid. “The material is regular composite,” she explains. It is the color that gives you the impression of fragility. It was recently replaced. »

Considering that the house may be difficult to sell to individuals, the owner now plans to turn to “investors in New York or Los Angeles, for example, who could have a good vision”.
“It’s 10-15 minutes from an international airport,” adds Jane Piven. If people come to Georgia and want to see something awesome, they could sleep in this house for a few nights. There are three spaces for simultaneous rentals, so it’s very convenient. Or a really crazy local country buyer who may have heard of the singer might want to surround themselves with his universe. »
Although the price is above the US market average, the current owner is “open to suggestions or negotiations with the right buyer”.
