Homes with lazy rivers aren’t a common sight to see on the real estate market, and usually when they pop up, the cost of the home is in the seven-figure department. In 2020, a custom-built mansion in Amarillo, Texas, with its own grand pool and lazy river listed for $2.7 million. However, some can scale back on cost, like this wild house in Arizona that listed for $880,000 and came with both an island putting green and a lazy river.
