Real-Life ‘Flintstones’ Home in Colorado Hits the Market for Under $1 Million

Home built into natural rock in Colorado

A Colorado property that is nearly identical to the home in “The Flintstones” is on the market for just under $1 million—and you yabba-dabba-don’t want to miss the incredible images of this unique dwelling.

If you think you can hear Fred Flintstone shouting his arrival inside this Larkspur, CO, property, nobody would be surprised.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home, priced at $989,900, is built into the side of the state’s famous red rocks, which are made of sandstone and formed more than 200 million years ago.

Of course, architecture that emphasizes nature isn’t new. There are dozens of examples out there, including Frank Lloyd Wright‘s iconic Prairie style, which echoed the Great Plains.

But this structure truly is, as its listing notes, a “page right out of history.” Here’s more about the 2,432-square-foot abode that sits on just under an acre.

The home was built in 2000.

Aptly dubbed “The Rock House,” this unusual home incorporates 45 feet of sandstone outcropping into the rooms, offering a rustic vibe that’s hard to ignore.

“Entering through the pergola covered double custom iron front doors, you will realize this isn’t your average home,” the listing notes. “It is perfectly integrated with nature, nestled around a 45 ft high section of one of Colorado’s beloved 200 million year old red rocks and surrounded on three sides by community open space.

Turn away (if you can) from the spectacular red rock views from nearly every single window.

This resort-like home, seamlessly blends modern mountain living with the organic nature of the stunning red rocks.”

In other words, anyone with an aversion to nature need not apply.

The main bathroom boasts a large double vanity.

The breathtaking landscape is part of the view—and this deck.

But for those who admire biophilic architecture, which strives to connect people with the natural landscape, it would be tough to get much closer to rocks than this. Right from the foyer, the boulder is front and center, and the stairs wend their way past it to the open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen.

Fortunately, you won’t have to roast your meal over an open-flame here—the cook space is well equipped with a professional-level six-burner range, a wine fridge, and butcher block countertops. The outdoorsy theme continues with a guest suite on the first floor that features barn doors.

There are stunning views from the two-tier deck, and there’s a hot tub for late-night stargazing. The primary bedroom is its own retreat, complete with more of that rock wall, a walk-in closet, spa bath, and a bonus space that could be a home office, yoga studio, or hobby room.

The listing touts this property as your own private “Garden of the Gods,” referring to the famed Colorado destination that’s been designated a National Natural Landmark.
