In an area known for its natural wonders, one property might actually make you feel like you\u2019ve been transported to another world.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0alien-themed compound<\/a>, made up of three vacation-rental properties in Hurricane, UT<\/a>, is listed for $1,690,000.<\/p>\n

The far-out listing first hit the market in July, and the price recently dropped by $200,000 to the current ask.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought it and had a vision for it and what it could become,\u201d says owner and listing agent Kendall Clements<\/strong>, with Escape Properties. \u201cMy brother is a builder, and he and I would meet up for lunch and draw pictures on napkins of what we thought would be a cool vacation home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Space-themed units<\/h2>\n

The result is three separate rentals<\/a>. They\u2019re all various sizes but share an Area 51-theme. And somehow, there\u2019s something for everyone here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat parent doesn\u2019t want to see their kid have a great vacation?\u201d Clement asks rhetorically. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the purposes of going on vacation is to create memories with them. That\u2019s what the focus is, the family concept.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cabin<\/p>\n

Studio<\/p>\n

The property\u2019s original cabin was built in 1985 and has three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a full kitchen. And it\u2019s now part of the space theme, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the cabin, I\u2019ve got the entire history of the space race of 1948 through 1969,\u201d Clements notes. \u201cI was born July 20, 1969, which is the day that Neil Armstrong<\/strong> landed on the moon, so that\u2019s kind of my connection to space.\u201d<\/p>\n

A studio unit is a combined sleeping and living space, with a retro vibe harking to the days of the moon landings.<\/p>\n

Dubbed Hangar 18, the large steel building comes with lots of surprises inside, including a huge spaceship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI marvel at the spaceship, because it\u2019s 100% custom built,\u201d Clements says. \u201cIt\u2019s right there by the front door, and you can\u2019t help but be in awe of it when you walk into it and sit down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spaceship even includes a flight simulator and what are labeled \u201cventilation tubes,\u201d which are actually fun slides that wind their way through the structure. And best of all, they\u2019re built to fit kids and<\/em> adults.<\/p>\n

Slide and test-tube aliens<\/p>\n

A bunk room is set up for even more imaginative play, with the sleep spaces decorated as futuristic, cryogenic pods. And even the pretend aliens in giant test tubes sitting nearby have a special story behind them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two aliens in the cryogenic tubes, that\u2019s a nod to my brother and me,\u201d Clements explains. \u201cI am the youngest of seven sons, and he\u2019s the fifth of seven sons, and so the aliens are numbered seven of seven and five and seven. So that represents my brother and me as aliens,\u201d he says with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Bring your \u2018sense of adventure\u2019<\/h2>\n

The three-unit compound sleeps a total of 23. And better yet, everything in the out-of-this-world property conveys with the sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is there,\u201d Clements says. \u201cJust bring your suitcase and your sense of adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three units can rent separately or together for a total of $1,200 to $1,600 per night.<\/p>\n

Pool<\/p>\n

Outside, the connected saltwater pool and hot tub offer another opportunity to relax.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call it a microresort,\u201d Clements says. \u201cIt\u2019s not like it\u2019s a crowded resort with 80 units sharing one pool. There are three units sharing one pool.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roughly third-acre property is very close to Zion National Park and is about 70 miles from the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a central point for people who want to come and visit the national parks,\u201d Clements says, noting that the perfect buyer \u201cis probably someone who wants to come spend some of their time there and knows it is rentable.\u201d<\/p>\n
