Outside, a big ‘Cemetery’ notice, iron gates and an RIP tombstone are placed alongside more tombstones in the spacious backyard.

It only takes one person to buy a property, after all. To each, their own.

On the market for US$245,000 (A$319,500), the advertising material put a distinct spin on the place calling it a “rare kind of home”.

Careful, it has its own fire pit, a privacy fence and eight security cameras.

“Make this dream your home!” the listing description ends … let‘s hope it’s not a nightmare for the new owners.
