“A winter lover’s paradise nestled on 25 idyllic acres,” the listing describes. ”The property includes Santa’s main living quarters, a community of tiny elf homes, a state-of-the-art toy-making facility, garage with space for an all-weather sleigh and stables that board eight live-in reindeer, plus a bonus stall for red-nosed company.”

The home, which “zestimates” at a little over $1 million, was built in 1822 and covers around 2,500 square feet. And, yes, Santa’s elves have their very own village.

The elf village has multiple tiny houses for Santa’s keen helpers. There’s even a “petite bamboo bungalow” to provide serenity for the hard workers.
