The house featured in this movie is up for sale at auction according to the Denver Post. For somewhere between $8 million and $9 million dollars you too can live like George Jetson. The house was constructed in 1969 on the top of a mountain neer Genosee Colorado and can be clearly seen from Internet 70 while climbing up out of Denver. You can't miss it. (Orgasmatron not included)
shareThis is true, that you can see it from I-70 going eastbound into Denver. I heard that it doesn't have any bedrooms, bathrooms, or anything... just 1 room! That's a lot of $$$ for a silly 1-room house! Also, the spider McDonalds in the movie is a church, located on Jewell Blvd., in Lakewood, Colorado, just down the mountain.
Yes, it is one room, but you can still do miracles with screens and mirrors.
shareActually, I would call it a two bedroom. I climbed up to it in the early 90's. Although it is surrounded by a chainlink fence, it was penetrable. It was still unfinished at that point. The house was said to rotate with the sun; incorrect. There was an eating area towards the front of the "windows" that had a rotary machanism (the house did not rotate). Plus, regarding the price, at one point the property was being sold with approximately 17 acres of land, I think that was split to 9 acres in the recent sale. Land is premium in this area of Colorado. The two "bedrooms" are to the side, the floor slopes. There are port holes for windows, like a boat. There is also an elevator. There is also an addition towards the back. It was constructed by the same guy who made Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. I watched this movie because it was filmed behind my house growing up, but the scene must have been cut. Any body seen the ski slope church near Hampden and Monaco?
Although
does anybody like this film?
I know what church you are talking about. I went to school over there.
shareI used to live near that house & the "hikers" and "campers" poking around all the time in our neighborhood, like Bokemp, acted like they owned every square inch of private land. They camp out on that householder's property as those of other private homes, as on the grounds of Mother Cabrini shrine & leave litter, camp fires & used drug gear all over the place. I concluded that the Denver metro area had a much higher proportion of jerks either living there or just passing through than other Colorado towns.
shareYeah the sleeper house looks pretty cool but I thought someone already bought it....
shareNo Bathrooms? That's uncanny.

MYTH: There are no atheists in foxholes. TRUTH: There are plenty of *beep* at Fox News.
Forbes said it was built in 1963. '69 sounds more plausible, but
you never know.

I actually used to work at that house quite often and there are three bedrooms, two or three bathrooms (one a master bathroom), a large gathering area with a well-stocked bar, an entertainment room, a garage, and an elevator. All completely decked out in pseudo-futuristic, 60's style furniture.
shareI just read that construction started in 1963 and was completed in 1966.
EDIT: Also just found a March 1967 episode of the show "21st Century," episode title “At Home, 2001,” which features the house.
