8 Hidden Underground Homes That Prove Life is Full of Surprises (3 of 5)

4. Cheshire, England

Named “Perdu,” this luxury residence in rural England is priced at “only” £3.8 million ($5.1m) and can only be accessed by an underground car lift, which itself cost £150,000 ($200k). It was built beneath an earth-covered roof and designed to be eco-friendly. Circular in layout and crowned by a massive rooflight, the home includes three bedrooms, a cocktail bar, an expansive living space and even a DJ booth just in case David Guetta decides to pay you a visit, and why wouldn’t he?

5. Oslo, Norway

Built into a plot of land near the Oslo Fjord that farmers have called home for generations, this villa was deliberately designed to appear invisible so as to entirely blend in with its environment. The interiors are quite minimalistic and feature floor-to-ceiling windows to allow light in throughout the home. Add to this the smoked wood and raw concrete walls, which contribute to a peaceful ambiance. Finally, an environmentally-friendly green roof, a tranquil terrace, two water features, and a swimming pool complete the extraordinary, eco-conscious residence.
