This Indonesian House Is for Sale and Comes With a Pond, a Backyard and … a Wife

A homeowner in Indonesia has put her house on the market, and herself with it.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Sleman — a sleepy district near the Javanese city of Yogyakarta — comes with a fishpond, spacious backyard and a chance to ask 40-year-old owner Wina Lia for her hand in marriage.

The asking price is the rough equivalent of $76,500. "Buyers who don't negotiate the price,” the sales literature says, "can ask the owner to marry (terms and conditions apply).”

Wina's online ad went viral, prompting a local news outlet to track her down and confirm that the offer was genuine. "Indeed it"s true, Wina is ready to be married by a house buyer,” the headline says, as tweeted by Sleman's unofficial Twitter account.

Dian Pua Dirgantara, the realtor who concocted the plan, tells TIME that his advertisement is working.

"Since yesterday moing there are continuous calls, I don"t count how many, there must be dozens or even hundreds.” He clarifies that marriage isn't a must. \"If someone just wants the house, they can have that,\" he said.

Wina, a single mother, told news outlet Kompas.com that the idea was dreamed up when she mentioned her desire to once again find a partner.

"Dian suggested I put up the tagline ‘Buy the house and marry the owner at the same time." And I said O.K. to it. I"m looking for a husband anyway,” she said.
