These fantastic images of strange stone house by Jsome1 were labelled as fake by some doubting Thomases. Main reason cited by them was that a search on the Net displayed only above two images.

Being Curious(JM), I posted these images in Fun and Games asking members to verify its authenticity and if authentic then find location in Google Earth. Some members who frequent the Fun and Games Section are experts in finding needle in the haystack and within hours of my posting, Farrelli, not only found another image but also found its location in Google Earth.

Here is the image, found by him.

The house is very much real and it seems to be a local icon, as it has been used as a background for the poster for the 2nd BTT Marathon Rally at Fafe - 08 JUL - 12 Jul 2008.

Australiano, also confirmed its location. Here is an image of the house which I have taken from the slide show of the Marathon Rally.

Over all a very satisfactory search for this Stone House in idyllic setting.

Acknowledgments: Kudos to Farrelli for his efforts in locating it in Google Earth and Special thanks to Jsome1 for sharing these great photos of the Stone House.

Nice
