Bodacious - adj. meaning sexy, remarkable, noteworthy

FLN has a series of shows all about bodacious spaces. This includes 15 Bodacious Backyards (and 15 MORE Bodacious Backyards), Bodacious Outdoor Spaces, Bodacious Hotels, 15 Bodacious Kitchens, Top 15 Bodacious Beach Resorts, etc, etc you get the point. My absolute favorite of these is Bodacious Houses.

Having a bodacious house requires more than just smelling like the vault and having square footage out the wazoo, a big part of it is creativity. Sure some of them are huge, like the person with a walk-in closet bigger than most Manhattan apartments, but mostly the wow factor comes from how they use the space. For example, one house is literally a cave.

This might not be the house, finding pictures of these things are impossible.

It's not a house built inside the cave, it is the cave, with natural cave walls, water features, and bats. The owners did see fit to install plumbing and even electricity if I remember correctly.

A similar but different house is located under the city of Las Vegas.

Picture looks funny because it's scanned from a magazine. More (and bigger) images here.

Yep, it's basically a house and yard built in a basement. They've got astroturf, faux trees, and even a pool. The weather is always nice and you never have to worry about bugs while out for a picnic. Being protected from nuclear fallout is just a bonus.

My absolute favorite house is the last one in the program. It has 13 levels and more wildlife inside than out. It's really just amazing looking with all the different levels, stairways, trees, etc. I really wish I could find a picture of this one. The refrigerator is even on an elevator so you can access it from different floors! How awesome is that? So whether you are down at the 20 something foot long pool (that is on the main floor of the house), watching lightning in the storm room, or spending time in the home theater, food is never more than a button away.

Since apparently I can not find pictures or video of the homes in the program anywhere, you'll just have to watch it yourself. It airs again on FLN the 30th at 10am and 10pm EST, as well as on the 31st at 2am EST for those night owls out there. If you are reading this after the 31st an updated listing of air times should be here.
