The “Gap House” is just that—a tiny high-rise sandwiched between two condos, which makes it well insulated by neighboring properties.

And it just sold for a cool $7.9 million.

A one-room “Elevated Living” home on stilts, billed as a remodeler’s dream with under-house parking, is available for a mere $1.7 million.

And you can have your very own “Rustic Charm” cabin in the woods, on which you can pull off a piece of the exterior should you need firewood. It’s a little more expensive at $3.4 million.

All these properties and more are being hawked by Monet Grabber at ObsceneOffersOnly. You can check them out on Thursday, April 1, when ObsceneOffersOnly opens a pop-up in the old Keller-Williams office at 680 Sun Valley Road.

There’ll even be libations and light appetizers in the afternoon to entice the curious.

Grabber was inspired to create an ObsceneOffersOnly website on which people can list their own homes after seeing Sun Valley’s red-hot market during the coronavirus pandemic. Realtors have been knocking on people’s doors begging them to sell or rent. And valley residents who had not considered putting their properties on the market have found themselves handing over their keys for unimagined amounts of money.

At first, Grabber was incensed by what she considered inappropriate behavior. But, once she saw neighboring properties getting snapped up for ridiculous amounts of money, she started to see the opportunity.

“I bought my ‘West Ketchum charmer’ house in 1995 for $97,000 and, if someone wants to pay $3.5 million for an old 1965 A-Frame, have at it,” she said. “It’s got one bedroom, a half bath, a powerline that goes through the yard, a Radon reading that is off the charts and no garage. But that doesn’t seem to deter anyone. I had 32 offers the first day and I’m pitting them against each other to jack up the price.”

Grabber is setting up another ObsceneOffersOnly on the Baja peninsula to offer Baja natives a way to sell their properties to Ketchum sellers who are pocketing their money and headed to Mexico once they close on their properties here.

“It’s just the circle of life,” said Monet.

Like what you see? Meet Monet or her representative between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thursday, April 1 at the pop-up store. Or, check out the website at www.obsceneoffersonly.com, which features properties you won’t find on the MLS.

As Grabber says, “You’d be a fool not to.”
