Hey you guuuyysssss! The Walsh family house from The Goonies is on the market. But unlike the movie, it’s not because of a potential foreclosure.
The home, located in Astoria, Oregon, is currently listed at $1.65 million and features four bedrooms and three baths. The official listing doesn’t have too many details and instead focuses on photos of the restored interior, so we don’t know if it contains booby traps or an attic with a map to One-Eyed Willy’s treasure.
The current owner has been quite generous to fans over the years, but the house became an even more popular tourist attraction for Goonies fans, sometimes to the point of nuisance for the homeowners and other residents. On the 30th anniversary in 2015, the house was seeing upwards of 1,000 visitors each day. It got to the point where the homeowner had to put tarps over portions of the home and post a sign that read, “Access Closed to Goonies House.”
Now, that same homeowner will be passing on the piece of movie history–and potentially headaches–to a new resident. While a Goonies sequel may never materialize, the new owner could at least film some scenes shot-for-shot. They could even head down the road to the Oregon Film Museum, a former jail that served as a location.
Richard Donner’s The Goonies has grown as a cult classic, eventually being recognized as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and worthy of preservation by the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry.
The Goonies house isn’t the only pop culture-related residence making the news as of late. Earlier this month, Vecna’s house from Stranger Things went on the market for $1.5 million. There has also been talk of updates on the house from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
