In Sausalito, a one-of-a-kind listing is offering a unique chance to quarantine at sea. A World War II-era balloon barge, which was owned for decades by poet Shel Silverstein, has surfaced for sale at $783,000.
Dubbed “Evil Eye,” the nautical retreat boasts a storied past. Balloon barges were used as observation vessels during the war and featured tethered kite balloons to ward off potential divebombers. After the war, it was decommissioned and fashioned into a 1,200-square-foot houseboat, after which “The Giving Tree” author bought it in the ’60s and owned it until his death in 1999.
The following decades saw the military vessel age into a dilapidated home full of old wood and a handful of stained-glass windows, but after it sold for $375,000 in 2017, its new owner transformed it into a bohemian space fit for an artist.
