Wait Until You See Inside This Man’s Home

Bruce Campbell has always seen the extraordinary in the ordinary. In his early twenties, he bought 10 acres of wooded land in Oregon for \$23,000, with dreams of building a unique home.

Originally envisioning a house made from cargo containers, Campbell later shifted gears after learning about a woman who turned a Boeing 727 into a home. Inspired, he pursued a similar vision—but with his own twist.

In 1999, Campbell purchased a retired Boeing 727 from Olympic Airways for \$100,000. Transporting the plane from Athens, Greece, to Oregon was a massive task, costing an additional \$120,000 and bringing his total investment to \$220,000. But for Campbell, this was a dream worth every penny.

Once on his property, he began transforming the aircraft into a livable space. He preserved much of its original structure, including the cockpit, which remains a key feature. Natural light streams through the original windows, and the interior now includes a small kitchen, shower, and sleeping area.
