It looks perfectly nice at first, until you head down to the basement.
It’s like the start of a horror film, but unlike a fictional movie, this is a real house, and it’s currently on the market.
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom, single-family brick home in Fayette, Missouri looks like any other house. With “high end finishes” and “traditional architecture and character”, it sounds appealing… until you scroll through the listing’s images.

Surprise! The site doubles as an actual 2500 sq ft prison site.
“Howard County Sheriff’s House and Jail. Extremely unique opportunity!!” the listing reads.
“Extensive renovation in 2005 (supposedly $1.5 million) captures modern high end finishes with traditional architecture and character.
“AND THE BEST PART, connected to the home is a 2500 sq ft legitimate jail with 9 cells, booking room and 1/2 bath. The cell door lock throws appear to be operational.”
It appropriately ends with, “Possibilities are amazing with this property.”
So, if your dream has been to move to Fayette and live in a house doubling as a prison, then look no further than this property!
At $350,000, it could be yours.
Let’s just hope it ends up in the right hands.
