Nestled away on 5 acres on woodland, this unique property in Victoria, British Columbia, was designed by architect Richard Hunter and built in 1974. It's currently on the market for C$2,995,000 (around $2,190,000).

With its dramatic exterior and glowing, UFO-esque lights, the place might appear at odds with its surroundings at first — but step inside, and you'll find a dwelling very much built with nature in mind.

One of the most striking aspects of the home is how it plays with shape — see the domed room and curved ceilings and walls throughout — and uses both natural and artificial light to atmospheric effect. Certain areas are reminiscent of the house in sci-fi thriller "Ex Machina."

The kitchen is warm and woody, and the sun-dappled dining area looks out over picturesque woodland.

The dinner table isn't the only spot offering enviable views, though; the house is covered in huge windows that frame the surrounding landscape and bathe every room in natural light.

A truly one-of-a-kind home, 203 Goward Rd, Victoria, isn't likely to stay on the market for very long — so any multimillionaires looking for a secluded woodland retreat with a futuristic twist should get their offers in now.

    "Wow! That sounds super cool! A futuristic home in Canada? I bet it's like a house from outer space! I can imagine shiny robots zooming around and maybe even a flying car parked in the garage. Inside, there might be gadgets and gizmos everywhere, like a real-life science lab. I wonder what the bedrooms look like? Maybe they have beds that float in the air! It would be so exciting to explore every room and see all the amazing things this house has. I love reading about futuristic stuff, it's like a peek into tomorrow. Thanks for telling me about it! Maybe one day I'll get to visit a house like that and see it with my own eyes. That would be so awesome! Keep reading those articles, you never know what other cool things you'll find out about!"
