This 80s Lubbock Home Is Built Into a Canyon Wall
One Reddit poster admitted they couldn't even categorize this one — "80s stone fortress" was the closest they could get. Built directly into a canyon wall in Lubbock, Texas, it's less a house and more a compound.
A Domed Central Hall With 360-Degree Views
Built in 1984 into the canyon wall of the historic Blackwater Draw, this 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 6,240-square-foot home is organized entirely around a domed central gathering hall. A spiral staircase climbs to a viewing platform overlooking both the interior below and the surrounding landscape outside — a genuinely unusual architectural gesture that anchors the whole property.
Frozen in Time, Fully Loaded for Entertaining
The vaulted-ceiling kitchen comes with a built-in dining table, the family room has a full wet bar and fireplace, and the gathering hall itself offers "endless possibilities for events of all sizes." Reddit had a field day with the very-1980s decor still intact throughout — right down to an empty waterbed frame with built-ins — while more than one commenter joked it would make the perfect headquarters for a mildly successful cult.
