WASHOUGAL, Wash. — Looking for a home with a 65-million-year-old view?
"Welcome to the Jurassic Retreat!" exclaimed Louise James, a real estate broker for Sotheby's International.
This Washougal, Washington getaway sits on more than two acres of prime dinosaur habitat.
"The previous owner is a huge dinosaur fan," James said.
The property includes five shockingly realistic life-sized leviathans.
"Motorized dinosaurs that roar and move at the press of a button," James explained.
Currently available as a vacation rental, the Jurassic Retreat makes quite a prehistoric impression.
"We have a lot of people coming up here for birthday parties," said James. "A lot of adults don't even tell their children where they're going, and then you see the big gates and it says 'Jurassic Retreat.' It's like, 'What?!'"
A sauropod stands sentry at the driveway entrance, while a Triceratops charms with a wink and a roar. Just don't pet the velociraptor, who growls from behind a fence at the side of the home.,
"Ah, the naughty one," James said. "It's nice for him to be locked away."
The adventure continues inside. Each room's décor reflects characters and scenes from the 'Jurassic Park' movies.
"As if they have been here, on site investigating the dinosaurs," James said. "There's portraits of them, each character, actually, in each bedroom."
The spacious ground floor great room is perfect for entertaining.
"I love this open space, especially if you have parties," James said.
The Jurassic Retreat's next owner could continue to share it with the world as a vacation rental, or keep this Cretacean creation all to themselves.
The Jurassic Retreat is listed at 1.15-million dollars.
