Whoa. Nice Pad!


If you're a gadget freak with environmentalist tendencies and $5.5 Mil hanging around somewhere, you might want to look at this 6,500 sq. ft., five-bedroom house for sale. The House of Innovation in Alamo, California is scheduled to be put on the market for a generous buyer.

It's a unique house at best. It's got the leading edge devices and electronics installed for your pleasure. It also has its own mowing robot and iPod around the house. This house has all the possible gadgets that might come out five to twenty years from now. What's ironic about it is that it's also pro-earth.

Another nice thing about it is that it's built entirely without nails - imagine LEGO only on a bigger scale. Since the floors aren't made from solid timber, they're more sustainable. For those looking to save a couple more bucks, it uses natural gas and rooftop solar panels to charge your house all day long. It's also bundled with a natural gas-burning car. Undescore 'High-tech' and 'environment friendly' with one stroke.

The House is open for tourists up until Nov. 12. The following day, it'll be for sale to the highest bidder. If you're interested, it's time to save up. Will it become a museum of the future or will someone actually live in it? We'll know by November 13...
