The dwelling blends perfectly into its surroundings. “He wanted it to look rural and wanted people who drive by to not think it was a home.” “Basically, he added everything he needed to have all the luxuries but also have that security,” Van Diest says. Three of the four converted grain bins are living spaces with three lofted bedrooms and one bathroom. So about 10 years ago, he added a concrete slab, connected the grain bins to each other, then added insulation, windows, electricity, septic, and a well. The bins were once used for their original objective-grain storage, but “the owner had a vision to transform that space into living space, so it would be a little escape for him,” Van Diest explains. The metal containers haven’t always been a dwelling. “It’s the ultimate man cave. It’s kind of like a hunter’s paradise on a recreational property.” Exterior “It’s turnkey,” says listing agent Anna Van Diest, with Moses Lake Realty Group. The three-bedroom property is now on the market for $1,599,000. Did you ever imagine you would consider living in a grain silo I sure didn’t, but Amy of Old Worlds Antieks has created a tiny home using scrap materials based around a silo that is a dream come true. ![]()
