Picture this: the Big Brother house, but on Mars. And one hundred times weirder.

It’s called the ‘Bubble House’, and it’s the most-viewed house on Realestate.com this week - and rightly so.

The Bubble House at 79 Elanora Way, Karalee in Queensland is truly out of this world. With 11 domes and twenty rooms across 1,050-square metres of floor space, this house, or spaceship, is a “world first”.

The listing states the “inventor” behind the home is moving on, and wants a new buyer.

“What started as a thesis idea, 36 years ago, by Mr Birchall grew into the current family home,” the listing states.

The home comprises 11 intersecting circular domes which range from 4-metre to 8-metre in diameter, and the circular “iris” of the shutters are for privacy, according to the listing.

It’s situated on half a hectare, with multiple balconies and even a wine cellar.
