A home known as the ‘Darth Vader house’ due to its striking resemblance to the iconic Star Wars character’s helmet has been sold for a staggering $3.35 million.

Situated in Houston, Texas, this distinctive property boasts four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and is designed to mimic a stealth fighter aircraft, making it a notable local attraction.

But the distinctive home is set for a dramatic makeover after being purchased by renowned sculptor Enrique Cabrera.

Cabrera has big plans that he hopes will see the mansion renamed as the ‘Black Bull House.’

The artist intends to install a colossal 16-foot, $2.7 million bull sculpture in front of the mansion.

He will not only live in the home but also use as a showcase for his provocative art collection.

Realtor Hardy Pollard, who facilitated the sale on behalf of buyer Cabrera, expressed to local news outlet KHOU 11 News that this acquisition presents an excellent opportunity for Enrique.

‘You have a lot of space where it’s all angled around the outside of the house,’ he said.

‘This is a great opportunity for Enrique to come in and create his own masterpiece.’

‘The former Darth Vader house now is officially The Black Bull House by Enrique Cabrera,’ Cabrera told The Houston Chronicle.

The spectacular 7,000-square-foot home sits on an 18,000-square-foot parcel in West University and features two large floating glass staircases, overlooking a sunken living room and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The property has had a long journey before finally being sold.

The house was originally designed and owned by Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Jean Cuckier, who was in awe of Star Wars and high-tech space flight. 

Junkin revealed buying the house years ago was a dedicated process of ‘calling again and again until he got a deal.’  

‘He loved the movies,’ Nadia Carron, a co-lister of the house in 2021, previously told The Chronicle.

‘That was his inspiration… He sat down and drew on paper how he wanted the house to look inside and outside and worked with an architect to do that. What you see is his baby and his design inside and outside of the house. He made his dream come true.

Local real estate broker and ‘House of Ho’ star Washington Ho taking over the listing last August.

‘I’m excited to apply the same pressure to sell the Darth Vader House to the perfect buyer,’ Ho told The Chronicle. 

‘Representing such iconic homes as part of the Star Wars legacy is an honor, and we are committed to showcasing the Darth Vader House to its fullest potential and achieving outstanding results.’ 

But when the home failed to sell, Junkin, who had owned the house for about three years, took control of the listing again.

‘I lived in Houston most of my life, and I had always seen the house, and it was just kind of an emotional buy I guess,’ he told the outlet. 

‘If the house next door was for sale, I wouldn’t have even batted an eye at it.’

Now the ‘Star Wars’ home is under contract to Cabrera with the deal expected to close on Tuesday.

The sculptor also is behind works in New Yorkers as the creative mind behind ‘La Gran Manzana,’ a large, angular red apple near Rockefeller Center.

He also created ‘El Toro de Oro,’ an imposing, angular golden bull in the Meatpacking District.
