The Floating Mansion Of Your Dreams

If you’re the kind that likes to be at sea but also in your warm, comfy home, then good news, this “floating mansion” might be just for you! And it costs only a mere $5.5 million.

OK, “a mere $5.5 million” is not a small amount, but this 75-foot-long yacht sure is one-of-a-kind, able to cruise in the ocean or be lifted out of the water by its retractable legs. That’s according to Howard Chase, whose brokerage firm listed the property last Friday. It’s a 100% solar-powered two-story house you can take anywhere, equipped with a rainwater-collecting-and-purifying system. The yacht, named the Arkup after the Biblical story of Noah’s ark has 4,350 square feet of indoor and outdoor space with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. It might sound silly to have half a bathroom, but that’s what’s listed. And it could also stand Category 4 or 5 hurricanes, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, though to buy it, you’ll need a driver’s license and boating safety certification. Or you could also hire a qualified captain.

Either way, if you want this houseboat, then it’s time to start saving, or it wouldn’t be affordable at all! That has been the New News Newsminute, thank you.
