Former Meth Lab for Sale in San Jose for $1.5 Million
Are you a big Breaking Bad fan that has always dreamed of having your own Walter White experience? Then look no further than this insanely priced home in San Jose!
Reader Matt Werner tipped me off to this insane listing on Zillow. When I first looked at the photo I was like, “Hmmm, that seems like a lot money for a condemned house.” Then I took a few more moments to read the listing and saw “Home has inactive Meth lab and meth contamination…”

What’s even wilder, is that even though the house has only been on the market for 11 days, the asking price has gone up $125,000 since October 21st. Is the demand really that high for this place? Looking at the pricing of houses nearby, it’s weirdly competitive. I guess the sellers are like, “While it might have a meth lab, it is actually a six bedroom, so those assholes over on Hyde Park Drive can shut up with their stupid four bedroom place.” I have a feeling that cleaning up the meth contamination will fall to the buyer.
Apparently, the site was also a bomb making operation. And what’s crazy is that reason the police caught the guy was because of two separate incidents involving devices used to make transformers in the neighborhood explode.
Now I kinda wanna go back and watch Breaking Bad all over again.
