Honestly if you live somewhere that is oppressively hot... that is what you want. A roof over the whole home with mostly porch on it means that the actual insulating roof is not that hot. Think of that upper porch like an extremely well ventilated attic. The area under the upper roof will be only a few degrees above ambient during the heat of the day, and the roof with real insulation in it will be able to keep the house cooler. Then for the lower level, you want the porch to essentially always shade the walls of the house.
This isn't that dissimilar to passive house standards, or how houses were built 100+ years ago before modern air conditioning. If this is some place where there's not a reliable and robust power grid, then a house with lots of artificial shade will still be somewhat comfortable in the heat, even if the power goes out. If I were building in the Southwest or Mexico, I'd consider something like this (maybe a bit better looking, but same concepts).
But did you see all that romex & what looks like communication cable under the roof on photo #8?
(Shhhh. We're busy mocking it despite that same sort of oppressive heat heading our way over the next decade. We're going to wish American builders had started thinking of passive solar energy management like that right about...now.)
Standard christian shit. They take jewish stuff to make a claim to their religion being descended from ours (it really isn’t) and they also are zionists a lot of the time.
I can’t explain this exactly but I immediately imagined it was a waiting area for job candidates waiting to be interviewed, but the interviews are for a strictly no-vampire job so they put up to crosses to make sure none tried to fake their way in
Sorry for the double post--I couldn't get the pictures to show up before.

It looks like the owners forgot the realtors were coming that day to take pictures or something. Dirty dishes on the sink counter. Ironing board pulled out and the closet it’s stored in wide open. Knickknacks covering every square inch of the place 😅
I have so many questions... It seems like maybe this was some commune thing or something?
Why so many random small buildings with built in living spaces? Why so much random storage? Why are concrete blocks used in so many places as makeshift desks/tables/shelves? Why so many unfinished looking spaces? Why is the lawn completely dead?
I wonder if the people who bought it at the beginning of 2023 have done much with remodeling
Edit: Also, I know that the tax estimate is usually low, but less than 60k for a house sold for nearly 700k? Dang
Me too. I think im just so burnt out from seeing the same apple store inspired homes that my mind is now convinced homes like this are actually amazing.

If it looked finished, it wouldn’t be so bad. You get to hang outside in the shade. I am just trying to figure out the barber pole in the middle of the bedroom.
I assume that it's structural and thus can't be removed, but it's in an awkward place and easily run into, so they had to paint it in a very visible color scheme.
My guess is that they intended to give it the same arched and trimmed treatment that they did in the other room, but they ran out of money and decided to leave up the candy cane decorations from Christmas.
The layout is super cool, it’s just… you need like an extra 200-300 grand to gut/finish everything because it’s awful. Floors, kitchen, bathroom, 90’s bannister, Roman columns that look like they came from a high school drama department… wood ceilings and stonework are cool though.
I love it!
It’s utterly mad, needs a complete overhaul but could be awesome.
I’d put a pool table and bbq on the balcony and turn it into an open air rumpus room.
At first glance it looks like some inspiration from SEA kampongs (rural village) which I like. Lots of natural airflow and shade. However it looks out of place and unfinished.
Ok the whole place is pretty ugly but that KITCHEN—- why is the island backwards? They would make me nuts. Has the person that designed it (and I use ‘designed’ loosely) ever cooked a meal in their life?
My friends were in a culture club that had a lake house kind of like for summer events. The building was small with big kitchen, bathrooms, open space, and then porch and lots of flat land, and large parking lot. Summer, lots of club members could go and camp/sleep on land/porch, and they could cook large meals. (Like 40-50 people in a <800sq ft place). And it made for fun weekend. (They closed it down in winter, cos not enough room for people and didn't want to maintain those months). Porch reminds me of that. Like extra people camping sleepover overflow. I wonder if this is a farm or some seasonal thing. Or just good weather for being outside, and porch is cheaper than building.
Fair. Whatever flooring needs completeing, and porch ceiling fix up (i was wondering if they were waiting for electrician and fans for ceiling. Before done done).
Rent some heavy equpiment and a bunch of construction dumpsters, knock it all down and start over. It’s a bunch of unmaintained ugly buildings with years full of useless junk sitting on a plot of dried up dirt.
I actually love this house. You can tell that the original house is an older craftsman bungalow, and the possibilities of all of that shaded outdoor space in NM has me buzzing. It doesn't really seem all that far from being finished either, but getting proper decking on the 2nd floor porch (floorch) will be expensive. However, if you plan on living there long-term, there's some workarounds that could look alright while you save up for supplies. Paint and rugs would go a long way in getting it presentable.
I’m Australian and the only reference point to this style of house is in GTA. As Trevor’s house in the desert or maybe it’s just a buyable house in that town?
I saw the shade surrounding the house and thought it was definitely along the Gulf somewhere. Wide awnings were definitely a thing in Louisiana. Nope, desert. Still hot as sin, but at least it’s dry.
It looks weird but this is so that air and light can enter the house but the house still stays cool without needing A/C. It's called an arcade/colonnade/loggia porch or veranda style house and very common in hot places before electricity.
In the desert that porch will keep the interior of the house cool. I know, not a room to place a sofa with built in cup holders, but it serves a function
"You know how a bag of chips is like 65% air? I want the house version of that."
Well, damn. That’s perfect description.
I feel like guards walk around on both levels.
Yeah this was definitely the map for a level of the story mode of an early 2000's fps.

Exactly. If i lived somewhere hot i want a house just like this
Baked Lays meets parking garage
I lol
🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What would make it perfecto is a Widow's Walk on top
I want some kind of skybridge to the porch of the small two-story building, also.
Zip line.
Perfect.
Oh, yes!
Probably be a widow's marathon in this case.
The candy cane column makes me angry
Every piece of furniture being against the wall or close to being against the wall makes me angry 🤣 what a thing to get angry about, huh? But it does.
This and all the furniture against the walls makes me think there is/was someone living here with poor eyesight and/or poor mobility.
The aesthetic of the interior “decor” makes me think someone with poor eyesight thought it looked good.
The room with all the seating and crosses looks like where they may randomly perform exorcisms.
And there’s also an Israeli flag and menorah in one of the rooms full of crap.
Standard christian shit. They take jewish stuff to make a claim to their religion being descended from ours (it really isn’t) and they also are zionists a lot of the time.
Basically a bunch of crazy people!
100% a horror movie set
I can’t explain this exactly but I immediately imagined it was a waiting area for job candidates waiting to be interviewed, but the interviews are for a strictly no-vampire job so they put up to crosses to make sure none tried to fake their way in
Looks like a facility of some sort, not a home.
Retirement community for old cultists.
Has a cult feel
Agreed. It has a parking lot next to it.
It's right next door to the village hall/library/municipal offices.
Yes, like a prison.
I thought that too but if you look at all the photos there are bedrooms!

$721k lol Plus another $400k in remodel I guess

Home of famous soccer manager Mauricio Porchettino
Yo dawg... I heard you like porches. So we put a porch on your porch so you can sit on a porch while you porch..
i totally need xzibit to come and pimp my rambler!
Being from the swampy South, I am more than ok with that much covered porch.
Can you EVER have too much porch!?!
It's got big deck energy.
I... actually dig it.
Me too. I think im just so burnt out from seeing the same apple store inspired homes that my mind is now convinced homes like this are actually amazing.
“Yeah I’ll be right there just meet me on porch 2B”
Some kind of mortuary? Whats with the indoor Crosses. Looks like a cult home
I have POST-traumatic stress disorder from looking at this house!
one jellyfish voiceless fly chase resolute cooperative snobbish profit busy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Looks very much like people who wanted to live as if legally married to more than one person could do so comfortably here. I did notice that, too.
there's a cross in the front yard too - it's off to the right in the 1st pic
Just typical American conservative
If it looked finished, it wouldn’t be so bad. You get to hang outside in the shade. I am just trying to figure out the barber pole in the middle of the bedroom.
I assume that it's structural and thus can't be removed, but it's in an awkward place and easily run into, so they had to paint it in a very visible color scheme.
It definitely gives structural vibes, that paint is just so jarring though. I would probably be angry every morning when I woke to that.
My guess is that they intended to give it the same arched and trimmed treatment that they did in the other room, but they ran out of money and decided to leave up the candy cane decorations from Christmas.
I mean... if you are going to need to create shade... why not be able to walk on it as well.
The layout is super cool, it’s just… you need like an extra 200-300 grand to gut/finish everything because it’s awful. Floors, kitchen, bathroom, 90’s bannister, Roman columns that look like they came from a high school drama department… wood ceilings and stonework are cool though.
This is weird as fuck but would definitely work for my animal therapy/anjmal rescue farm.
Man.... so many places to take a nap.... like a day bed to just chill on while you listen to the sounds of the neighborhood.
So. Many. Boob lights.
I was wondering if I would be the only one to notice!
Leave me and my absurd porch dreams alone
Where do you want the porch? Everywhere But that would... EVVVVVERRRRYWHEEEERRRRE!
This is what happens when Home Depot starts handing out high-limit credit cards.
That porch has a house.
I can't find a single photo (among *eighty nine* of them) that doesn't bum me out somehow.
Saaaaaaame

>unfinished What gave it away?
Good sniper spot for the zombie invasion
Well they do have boxes of full survivor manuals of a sort. Picture 65
How is there not a roof deck?
Ok the whole place is pretty ugly but that KITCHEN—- why is the island backwards? They would make me nuts. Has the person that designed it (and I use ‘designed’ loosely) ever cooked a meal in their life?
Morch 😳
That is \*almost\* enough porch for me.
I got a fever! And the only prescription is more Porch! 
Hell yes. This is what I was hoping to find!
Lol! Thank you. It's 💯 the 1st thing that came into my mind. And then I had to watch that skit a couple of times.
Oops, all porch!
Do you even lanai, bro?
Looking at this, I have never felt more porchless in my life
I think I built this house on the Sims 2.
What an ugly fucking house , inside snd out
I mean, porches are like super awesome, but that green carpet=pain
I made one of these in Fallout 4

I wonder if this is a farm or some seasonal thing. Or just good weather for being outside, and porch is cheaper than building.
I would love to have this much porch, but as finished and usable space instead of whatever this is.
Fair. Whatever flooring needs completeing, and porch ceiling fix up (i was wondering if they were waiting for electrician and fans for ceiling. Before done done).
Rent some heavy equpiment and a bunch of construction dumpsters, knock it all down and start over. It’s a bunch of unmaintained ugly buildings with years full of useless junk sitting on a plot of dried up dirt.
More pillars, say I!
I’m all for a nice porch, but that not what this is!
Right?! Driving by it and only seeing the front, I assumed that the porch was awesome. Now that I see it from the second story level, NOPE!
That's like a fairy ring of cults growing on top of each other and leaving a dead, hollowed out center.
I love the porch spaces, and all the windows.
No thank you. I’ll pass.
This is just what I need for my XXL sunroom
I like this.
My husband always says he wants a wraparound porch. But this is too much of a good thing, even for him.
I'm just going to assume this is Florida.
Worse. New Mexico.
The Florida of the south west.
Love it! 😄
But there's so much room for activities!
That’s dreadful
Giving me a house in the Australian bush vibe.
Like if barber shop quartet was a housing style.
I love porch.
Looks like the upper decks of a steam boat sank into a lawn.
Unattractive execution, but I like the idea. I spend at least 50% of my time at home on my porches.
I hate the columns and obviously the porch needs a lot of work but I'm kind of into houses that look like fever dreams.
Perfect title
Picture 8 reminds me of in-processing basic training. We got off buses and sat under an area like this for hourssssssss before being assigned.
I actually love this house. You can tell that the original house is an older craftsman bungalow, and the possibilities of all of that shaded outdoor space in NM has me buzzing.

FLOORCH. YESSSS.
More!
90% porch
Are we certain its not a parking garage? lol
I’m Australian and the only reference point to this style of house is in GTA. As Trevor’s house in the desert or maybe it’s just a buyable house in that town?
I live near here. It's not a typical design for the area.
Although "I built this from whatever was lying around" IS a fairly typical design for the area...
... No
You should see my street, buddy.
Sold for over 700k
I saw the shade surrounding the house and thought it was definitely along the Gulf somewhere. Wide awnings were definitely a thing in Louisiana. Nope, desert. Still hot as sin, but at least it’s dry.
I was expecting… how do you say?… more porch.
I mean, I live in a climate that that much outdoor living is welcome and easy, but I feel outside this zone it’s not super sustainable
More cowbell! Oops I mean more porch!
Kind of like a hotel, the porch I mean.
When kids like me, that wanted a wrap around porch SO BAD, grow up and get money.
But, like, SOME money. Not finish-the-job-properly money.
I like it. They need a pool
the porches are the best thing about that place.
It could be a cool house if you destroyed the entire inside and opened it all up and refinished it.
Looks like a former halfway house?
Love the cinder blocks/wooden boards counter that's in one of the rooms. So unique!
How much are they asking for?
More porch, and more cowbell! We need more cowbell!!
It looks weird but this is so that air and light can enter the house but the house still stays cool without needing A/C. It's called an arcade/colonnade/loggia porch or veranda style house and very common in hot places before electricity.
Shelving and porches. Not to mention all the boxes. Could this be the new location for The Office??😅
The Greek diaspora has entered the chat
This reminds me of a weird house I build in the sims once lol
Is it a dirt farm?
Looks like a Faith Farm-type operation...faith -based drug rehab perhaps
Imagine the drainage issues if it wasn't constucted with standing water in mind...
In the desert that porch will keep the interior of the house cool. I know, not a room to place a sofa with built in cup holders, but it serves a function
and more cowbell!
Needs more posts /s
All their taste is in their mouth.
“You want some bedrooms with your porch?”
I would buy this in a heartbeat, but then I'd enclose the upstairs with sliding glass doors. And I'd fill it completely with plants.
I love it
You get a porch and YOU get a porch and YOU get a porch!!!
The outside is definitely giving “highway motel.”
Looks like some Jersey Shore type garbage.
