The incredible real-life flintstones house (holiday home) is carved between four granite boulders and comes with a swimming pool and bulletproof windows but there’s no electricity. It looks primitive but the stone house is well-equipped with a fireplace and a pool carved out of one of the rocks that could have been a yabba dabba do time.
The real-life Flintstones house is also known as Casa do Penedo, or House of Stone. This strange dwelling was built-in northern Portugal’s Fafe Mountains perched at an elevation of nearly 2,600ft. This house has been converted into a tourist magnet after being transformed into a museum though earlier this was a holiday home by a family. Now this stone house has earned a reputation as a real-life “Flintstones house”.
However, it is not precise, why the original owners required bulletproof doors and windows. Portuguese photographer Ricardo Oliveira Mateus, 34, recently returned to the 16.5-ft tall house to capture its unusual character.
The house was built-in 1972 from four large boulders that serve as the foundation, walls, and ceiling of the house. Due to its uncommon design and integration into the surrounding nature, the building has become a growing tourist attraction being really impressed by the house architecture and the magnificent view around it.
