The home is 6,000 square feet (557 square meters) in total and is located at 5040 South Greenwood . The owners of the said house, Bill and Jacky Grimshaw, have explained that they hope that the buyer is mentally prepared to live in the middle of a security camp. For now, nothing is known about the sale price. Potential buyers are making an appointment to visit the house, but they will be subjected to a strong selection process.
The owners have lived in the house since 1973. The house was built in 1906 by its first owner who was a colonel who ran a military school. What is clear is that the main protagonist of this story is becoming a tourist attraction.
