Check out this real-life Flintstones home that's hit the market after being built around a 200 million-year-old red rock.

The two-bedroom property in Larkspur, Colorado, has a very unique style, perfect for a Flintstones fan.

The property - nicknamed the rock house - is integrated with nature, nestled around a 45ft high section of one of Colorado's beloved 200-million-year-old red rocks.

Phillip Booghier, a global real estate advisor, who is listing the property, said: "It's a property that captivates at every turn - built directly into a soaring red rock formation and surrounded on three sides by open space, this residence offers an unmatched blend of architectural creativity and natural beauty.

"The dramatic rock wall isn't a backdrop - it’s the centerpiece, rising through all three levels and anchoring each floor in natural grandeur.

"Every space is visually and physically connected to the monolith at its core.

"The integration was thoughtfully engineered, permitted, and built to last - using spray poly foam, epoxy, and acrylic caulking to create a weatherproof, enduring bond.

"Inside, the home’s design mirrors the drama of its setting.

"A floating staircase with custom iron railings connects each level, while exposed beam ceilings, warm wood finishes, and thoughtfully placed windows highlight the natural light and views."
