Sometimes a home’s exterior doesn’t necessarily jive with its interior.

A mansion on the real estate market in Newcastle, Oklahoma, seems to fall into this category. On the outside, the majestic-looking home at the end of a long road seems to glitter as it stands out among the scenic, Sooner state greenery.

The inside? Well, that’s an entirely different story altogether.

“This striking hillside contemporary is a statement house of luxury and impeccable taste,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “Nature’s beauty of sky & land is soothingly brought indoors.”

The interior of the 16,841-square-foot residence — which is listed for $3.9 million — looks like something straight out of a movie about rich people in 1989 with its smooth marble flooring and animal print decor.

Features in and around the three-bedroom, five-bathroom residence resting on five acres include:

  • Views

  • One-mile driveway

  • Granite columns

  • Electric shades

  • Gym

  • Security cameras

  • Three wet bars

“This unique property combines an unequaled combination of views and privacy, acreage, and convenience, with an iconic contemporary and state-of-the-art home,” the listing notes.

The home was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and Twitter account that presents folks with unique listings from all over.

“You never know what’s going on inside a home, part 2023492, Newcastle, OK edition,” Zillow Gone Wild said in the post.

People agreed that the interior was pretty wild.

“Is it a gym? Is it a conference center? Is it a modern take on a wizard’s tower? Is it an art museum? Is it, itself, art?” one person asked. “Yes. Yes to all of it. It’s everything everywhere all at once and it both hurts my eyes but makes me unable to look away.”

“I feel like I’ve just been given a tour of a Carnival cruise ship,” another joked.

“This is awesome. Love the vibe. Keep it all and add to. I would totally work with it,” someone gushed.

“The vibe of a less relaxing Johnny Rockets,” one person said.

Who did this” another tweeted.

You can’t convince me that this isn’t the set for an attempted late 90’s Dallas revival,” someone said.

You all do not appreciate the beauty that is post modern decor but say you miss the old Taco Bell interior,” one person noted.

That is the cheesecake factory,” another tweeted.

Newcastle is about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City.
