Yes, one presumably young-at-heart buyer has the chance to own a home with built-in water slides that empty out into a rustic-looking pool, a waterfall, giant rock structures, a couple of tiki statues, and two beachy cabanas. If that's not enough, the home also includes a DJ area, several game rooms, an indoor basketball court, and a bowling alley.
