HOT REAL ESTATE REPORT: Play your heavy metal as loud as you want

This charming cottage on a frozen lake in the British Columbia back country is the ultimate get-away-from-it all. If you like Motörhead, Slayer, Mettalica, Avenged Sevenfold or any other heavy metal band, you are in luck. You can play your ear-piercing devil music as loud as you want. So far none of the bears and hawks in the area have ever complained.

With 75 square feet, this cozy spot is perfect for de-compressing from your life’s worries and troubles. Tired of the boss dropping another day’s work on your desk on Friday afternoon and wants it back first thing Monday? Quit that lousy job and head to beautiful Canada. Sell that BMW you only bought to impress your brother-in-law and buy an iceplane! You’ll be flying above virgin forest in no time.

Make sure you brush up on your survival skills just in case you have to set it down in a remote ravine in the Canadian Rockies. You should know how to find water and purify it through a filter you made from mallard duck intestines as well be able to build a fire by shooting lasers out of your eyes at dry kindling.

It’s not perfect, though. The toilet seat gets a little cold in the winter months. You can try covering it with a beaver pelt with a hole in it, extra Amazon boxes or your senior high school football letter jacket wrapped around.
