Hacienda del stinko, Uruguay
A cliff top home with spectacular views and ideal for families who enjoy living in close-knit groups.
Currently home to a family of turkey vultures, so the premises sadly do not boast a lavatory owing to the present owners' habit of defecating down their own legs.
Please contact the agent to arrange a viewing as the current occupants are likely to vomit semi-digested meat in self-defence.
Would suit a couple with a poor sense of smell.
Dunspitting, Indonesia
Compact, high rise apartments built on the wall of a dark cave.
Many original features. Constructed using traditional building methods and materials, principally the saliva of the current swiftlet owners.
If you buy this property, your home may be at risk due from the highly profitable trade in bird's nest soup.
