This might be the Northwest’s most expensive home, on a dollars per square foot basis.

Just 702 square feet, with a list price of $875,000. $1,246 per square foot. That’s 42 percent more expensive per square foot than San Francisco’s most expensive listing, this $18M, 20,000 square foot manse (whoa—that place probably deserves its own post).

Of course, the real appeal in this listing is the land. You get 86 acres of it.

There’s also a sweet flyover video, to give you a better sense of the scale.

I’m pretty sure that video was made by the same people who made the video for the “Railway Resort” house, located about an hour away (and which, by the way, is inexplicably still on the market). Aerial videos of listings is definitely a trend that I can get behind.

From the virtual tour:

THIS IS NOT A HOUSE…

It is an Experience.

It is a Chipmunk.

It is an Owl.

It is a Hummingbird.

It is a Gang of Turkeys.

It is… um… a Hole. Made of Sticks.

Sadly this home was pulled from the market a few weeks ago, but gladly, the photos can all still be viewed in the virtual tour linked below.

Also, this video.

The still photos on this listing are amazing, but they really don’t do this property justice. Thankfully, the listing agent had a video made. It is amazing.

This aerial shot gives you a sense of the scope of this mini-railroad.

Complete with a mini-trainyard.

And inside: more, even smaller trains!

It’s a $3.5 million train-lover’s paradise!

Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks this is an awesome listing. We were picked up by BoingBoing (first), Gizmodo, Daily Picks and Flicks, Neatorama, Well Done Stuff, and even Fox News Politics(?!?). Some of these sites even did further research. Here’s some of what they found.

Daily Picks and Flicks found another tour of the home by the listing agent, Jason Gardner:

Daily Picks and Flicks also found this great CNN Money video that features the property and its owner, Tom Miller, who built every train you see in these videos!

Daily Picks and Flicks also found a forum thread on myLargescale.com in which Tom explains his motivation for selling:

…it is time to let someone else take stewardship of what I have created. I intend to keep my locomotives and run them at club railroads around the country unless the new owner insists they go with the property. After all they are just stuff and I could build other and different locomotives.

Well Done Stuff found another video.

I’ll continue to update this post as people find more neat stuff about this property.

From the listing description:

Now available, as seen on television, San Diego’s world famous “Cats’ House”!

Because who wouldn’t want who knows how many cats crawling around directly above your dining table?

Or climbing down into your bad whenever they want?

Wait. I’ve found the perfect buyer for this house:
