Here's an old-fashioned jailhouse for sale ... and we mean that literally.
This is either straight out of your worst nightmare or wildest dream -- a beautiful Victorian home with a dark secret in the basement ... AKA, a fully operational jail with cells intact.has a listing for a 2-bed, 2-bath, single-family brick home in Fayette, MO ... going for $350k. It's described as a historic site -- but that history is steeped in inmate lockups, 'cause the place used to double as an actual jail site.
Unclear what law enforcement agency operated out of here once upon a time, but it's clear they were using it to house prisoners ... 'cause the basement was literally reconstructed to accommodate just that. It features a full booking room and 9 cells, steel bunk beds and all., had a cheeky description of the place, which raised eyebrows. He writes,"WAIT until you get to picture #30!! 1875 Howard County Sheriff's House and Jail.
After describing the main house -- which looks nice with the renovations -- he adds,"AND THE BEST PART, connected to the home is a 2500 sq ft legitimate jail with 9 cells, booking room and 1/2 bath. The cell door lock throws appear to be operational. Full basement under the home with lighting throughout. Possibilities are amazing with this property."
We asked what his intention behind that last line might be -- and Jeffrey assured us he wasn't trying to offend or invite others to still use it as a jail. He says he meant it more like an opportunity to rework the space -- for wine tasting, for example -- and insists he was just trying to capture potential buyers' attention, since that's his job. He simply wants it sold.
Here's hoping whoever swoops this place up isn't the Buffalo Bill type, 'cause this could get twisted fast in the wrong hands. But hey, for that square footage ... not a bad deal.

What Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Home Purchase Shows Us About Financial Planning For The WealthyEver since my first tax class in law school, I have been fascinated by wealth and the journey one takes to achieve it. Driven by this passion, I have spent almost 20 years advising wealthy families how to navigate their financial lives in my roles at Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon Wealth Management and now, at my own firm, Chequers Financial Management. Over the years, I have learned that the psychology of money – and the ability to understand our individual money stories no matter how much money we may have – is the key to making better financial decisions. I enjoy exploring financial issues through the lens of psychology, pop culture and history. As the founder of Chequers Financial Management, a female owned boutique tax and financial planning firm in San Francisco, I work with clients across the country, helping them achieve their financial and life goals.
