Do you want to invest in real estate? If you happen to be looking for a new home, nestled on 6 acres of land in Fayetteville, Georgia, and you are a fan of the hit Netflix series stranger things, then you’re in luck! Just days ago, the house was filming exterior shots of Joyce Byers (winona ryder) home in Hawkins, Indiana was listed for sale on Zillow. Like on the show, the house is portrayed as being a bit restorative, but if you already have dollar signs in your eyes, this may be the property of your dreams.
As you may know, following the Starcourt incident in Season 3, Joyce made the decision to pack up her things and move the kids to sunny California. With the property now vacant, a brand new Zillow listing has been added, pricing the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home at $300,000. It lists all the amenities (spoilers, there aren’t many), which includes a barn – the shed that Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) disappeared during Season 1 when the Demogorgon first attacked. List does not wrap property, potential warning Byers not to, “…remains stuck upside down, this home needs a complete overhaul, but with the right owner, the potential return on investment (ROI) could be HUGE!”
Cleverly marketed to fans of the show or those looking to make a profit, the listing playfully features plenty of photos of the exterior of the house and its property, as well as a few interior shots, to both in this dimension and in the Upside Down. You can even spot Demogorgons in pairs. In fact, you can see Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) straight out of the chimney in a single image. In the description it says:
“Have you ever watched Stranger Things on Netflix?…Are you a fan?…This is the original Byers house! This is exactly the house of Will, Joyce and Jonathan Byers, just on the outskirts of the fictional “Hawkins” town.This house was featured throughout the early seasons of the show and remains a nostalgic focal point of the show…I mean, how cool would it be to own the infamous Stranger Things house?. .. ps Don’t feed the Demogorgon!!”
Although the novelty may be tempting and tours are available on the site, sellers ask that “…SERIOUS buyers only” contact them. It’s very clear that if “…this home makes a PERFECT Airbnb, short-term rental, or personal residence for someone who wants to take it on,” it will be an investment. The house is being sold “AS-IS”, with no seller disclosure, which means they have nothing to tell you about its sinister past of Demodogs flying through the window, space-time damage, or how Joyce broke through the wall with an ax. Another thing to consider, the list also mentions that since stranger things aired in 2016, “…fans traveled everywhere, almost daily, just to drop by and take a picture.” It became such a problem that the owners had to build a barricade. Fandoms can be wild.
Still, if anyone has the money, time, and respect to take on the challenge, this Georgia property would make for a great fan-centric Airbnb and fun experience. Even for someone looking to renovate and turn the house into a home, it would be pretty nice to have an official LEGO replica set of your home, as well as a great story to tell at parties.
