The quirky, spacious home<\/a> that served as a source of inspiration for artist Kenneth Wyatt<\/strong> is for sale for the first time.<\/p>\n

Wyatt was a minister who later in life discovered a talent for painting and created about 9,000 works of art. He built the jaw-dropping, 8,307-square-foot home in Tulia, TX,<\/a> for himself and his family in 1969. The property is now listed for $599,000 and the odd, retro interiors don\u2019t seem to be stopping buyers: Offers are already coming in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s known all over for his Christian art as well as Western art,\u201d says listing agent Kristal Mooneyham<\/strong>, with Larry Brown, Realtors. \u201cThe part of the house that was added on was his gallery, so people would come from all over the world to see his art in his home.\u201d And what a home it is.<\/p>\n

Wyatt died in May 2021. He was 90.<\/p>\n

A fulfillment center for reproductions was built on top of a tennis court on the home\u2019s grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could tear it down and have a tennis court if you wanted that,\u201d Mooneyham says.<\/p>\n

The home has four bedrooms and six bathrooms and is kind of a time capsule, with a loft area that overlooks the gallery below, shag carpeting, and a lot of dark wood.<\/p>\n

The finished basement has a putting green.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very dated, but it\u2019s very cool,\u201d she says, adding some of the wooden beams in the home are telephone poles. \u201cEverything has a meaning to it. It\u2019s got a really cool floating staircase he built himself. It\u2019s just got a lot of history and cool stuff to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mooneyham says the new owner might want to do some modernizing and probably replace the appliances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the most beautiful homes in the town for sure, but it\u2019s going to take somebody that has an eye and wants to update [it] to 2022. It could be incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

She suggests turning the wood-clad gallery into a den or man cave.<\/p>\n

To some, the closetlike space where Wyatt painted might seem better served for storage, but not to the late owner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a little bitty room upstairs, with no windows. You would have thought that it would have had a window in, but he wanted to have constant lighting,\u201d Mooneyham explains. \u201cThere\u2019s paint on the floors and on the walls. It\u2019s just where he created, which makes it super cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 0.62-acre lot also features gardens, a courtyard, and walking paths, perfect for getting the creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n
