Dream home for Star Wars fans hits the property market

The dream home for Star Wars fans is now on the market in Texas. But the path to the dark side is not cheap.

Known as "The Darth Vader House", the 7000 square-foot (650 square metres) home in Houston's West University Place subdivision has a listing price of US$4.3 million ($5.58 million).

The nickname comes from the exterior's resemblance to the helmet of the famed Star Wars villain.

Home values in the area range between US$805,000 and US$2.7 million ($1.04 million and $3.5 million) - far, far away from this price tag.
