In fact, not much at all was known about the house—not even the owner—until reporters from local station KTVA started looking into it.
What did they find? First, that it had a name: the Goose Creek Tower. Also, that parts of the house were built on the ground and set into place with a crane. And that there’s a basement with an escape tunnel to a safe room.
So who owns this place? Turns out it was built by Phil Weidner, an Anchorage attorney. His vision is to put a telescope in the top of the house. He also wants to put in a ham radio station, and broadcast what he calls Radio Free Goose Creek.
The top certainly offers a unique perspective on Alaska, with 360-degree views of (on a clear day) Denali, the Homer Spit, and the start of the Aleutian chain. The owner considers it “a poem to the sky.” He just doesn’t know when it will be finished.

It kind of looks like one of those radio towers I kept climbing in Far Cry 4.
Edit: Then fall off and get eaten by a tiger.

Earthquake proof, I’m sure:)
