Discover famous Bruno Steel home in Texas is listed for $2M

In the Texas community of Ransom Canyon, a sculpture-turned-residence with an intriguing background has a new destiny in store.

This massive building outside of Lubbock has long been a landmark in the area and is currently for sale as a three-bedroom home.

The $2 million listing for the Robert Bruno Steel House is held by Courtney Bartosh of Monument Realty. “The house is extremely unique and who else can say they have lived in a sculpture,” Bartosh told The Post.

The sculpture artist Robert Bruno spent around 35 years creating the modernist masterwork, which he left to his only child, Christina, when he passed away in 2008 at the age of 64.

The creature-like construct was later sold by Christina to Bartosh, who renovated the less-than-appealing home into an Airbnb that is now available for rent for $592 a night.

When Bruno built the facility, which is currently touted as having three bathrooms, central air, and 2,450 square feet of habitable space, he had no such aspirations for financial gain, simply love.

Indeed, in his decades building and rebuilding the dreamlike entity, Bruno would often change his mind and tear apart full sections, rebuilding significant portions of the house per his whims, according to  Texas Monthly.

“It would have been a lot easier to have a master plan from the beginning, but it wouldn’t have been better, just different, okay?” Bruno reportedly told the Texas Country Reporter shortly before his death. “Easy isn’t the only thing that matters, and if easy really mattered very much to me, I sure as heck wouldn’t be doing this. This is about spiritual values. The objective was not to move in and have a place to live; I can do that anywhere. The objective was to do something.”

Despite having been working on the space since 1973, Bruno only used it as his home at the end of his battle with colon cancer, in his final months of life.

Although Bruno is no longer with us, the home he created will continue to spin for many years to come. The 110-ton monster, which is heavier than a Boeing 757, is constructed of quarter-inch Corten steel, which is known for creating a surface-only rust that shields it from the weather and increases its lifetime, according to Texas Monthly.

According to artist and native Lubbockian Jeff McMillan, “The Bruno House will still be there after the apocalypse.”
