Sci-Fi Houses You'd Want To Live In
The finest in movie real estate
House-hunting can be hellish, with its gazumping, conveyancing and endless euphemisms for the word ‘pokey’. But somehow down the years the protagonists in some of our favourite sci-fi movies have managed to lay their futuristic hands on a portfolio of prime real estate. Should any of these properties come onto the market, the punters will all be rushing for their mortgage broker, so we’ve got our Kirstie-and-Phil on to explore the best in intergalactic des res.

Lars Farmstead, Tatooine
200,000 Galactic Credits 
| To the untrained eye, this is a nondescript moisture farm on a barren stretch of Tatooine. But to the savvy, it’s a blue riband investment that’s all sizzle - especially during the scorchy summer months. Handily placed for the Jundland Wastes, and with Jabba’s Palace a mere land-speeder ride away, there are plenty of good reasons to stay home. And what a home! The ultimate in subterranean chic, there’s nowhere better to welcome passing Jawa traders. As seen in: Star Wars: A New Hope Features - Moisture vaporators
- Womp rat shooting range
- Ample speeder parking
- Twin sun-lounging deck

| 1 | Sorry to be repetitive but . . . | OK, you might have left Wayne Manor off the list to avoid the whole is-it-or-isn't-it-sci-fi debate, but to omit Tony Stark's Malibu home is criminal.

| | 5 | One for the fact fans | If you think the view of night-time San Francisco is a little familiar, James T Kirk's apartment used the same backcloth as was used in The Towering Inferno from the Promenade Room. More

| | 6 | | Deckard's apartment is so out of time, combining old and futuristic. Looks comfortable and lived in too. Yeah, I guess I would have wanted to live there. Cool article, Empire. More
