No need to go to Egypt to see the pyramids. There are two in Rockwell, NC, and they’re for sale.

One is the main living area and the other is more of a garage. Both pyramids are listed together for $675,000.

Architect James Kluttz designed the pointy place for himself and his family in 1987.

The blue structure houses the living areas, and the red one is more of a garage and unfinished space.

“You can’t tell you’re in a pyramid once you’re inside,” says Krystal Baucom. Baucom and Rhonda Jolly are listing the property with DM Properties & Associates.

“The bottom-level concept is open flow,” Baucom explains. “You don’t really feel like you’re in a pyramid unless you go into some small rooms off to the side where the ceiling flows from the pyramid.”

The three-bedroom blue pyramid measures 3,687 square feet, and everything is above ground.

“The walls of the bedrooms slant, but there are skylights so it still feels really open,” Baucom explains.

Storage is plentiful in the unusually shaped building.

“You can open a door and there’s a 10-foot closet that you wouldn’t have known was there because of the shape of the pyramid,” Baucom says.

Kluttz died in 1995, before he was able to complete his vision for the red pyramid.

“It was more of a garage to the original architect. He didn’t finish the whole pyramid, and he left it open, so there’s over 3,000 square feet of unheated square footage that’s not counted in the square footage of the actual house,” Baucom explains. “You could pretty much think of anything you wanted to do and you could make it happen.”

The pyramids sit on an abundance of acreage.

“The current owners are farmers, and they have cattle. They’ve taken the 18 acres and separated 6 pastures off of it, and there are different kinds of fruit trees,” she says.

The living spaces could use some updating since the current owners have had the place for about 16 years and haven’t changed much about it, she adds.

The locals know about the pyramid homes, and now word of the properties has spread on the web.

“It has gone viral online. Everyone is calling and texting me. Somebody on TikTok picked it up, and it has had something like 30,000 views there,” Baucom says. “We’ve gotten a lot of traffic on the house.”

In a written essay, one of the architect’s daughters said her father fell in love with modernist architecture while he was in the military serving in Europe in the 1950s. She wrote he would experiment with the design of his family’s homes since many of his clients liked the more typical construction.

She said the red pyramid once housed her father’s collection of Louis L’Amour paperbacks and was also his workspace.

Baucom says the picturesque property includes a creek and lots of privacy.

“It would be good for somebody who is looking for something unique,” she says.
