While the little ones count down the days until Santa’s big arrival, they can take a virtual tour of his charming North Pole abode. Thanks to Zillow, kids can explore Kris Kringle’s home and see where the jolly fellow spends his time preparing for Christmas. We’re really leaning into the whole “let’s keep the magic of Santa alive” vibe this year, aren’t we?
This delightful 2,500-square-foot cabin features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, described as “a toy lover’s paradise” set on a picturesque 25 acres—ideal for those spirited reindeer games. Because, really, you need that much space when you’re running a top-secret toy workshop, right? Built in the 1800s from stunning old-growth timber, this cabin has enough wood to make you wonder if there’s an eco-friendly building material option out there.
Santa’s residence is perfectly equipped for his holiday duties. According to Zillow’s listing, “Over the river and through the woods is a state-of-the-art toy-making facility with workstations for 50 pint-sized craftspersons.” A fancy way to say an underpaid elf production line, if you ask me. There are no photos of this workshop to verify its state-of-the-art status or the treatment of the elves, but we didn’t find a “Christmas Elves Union” page or GoFundMe campaign, so it’s safe to assume Santa isn’t the worst boss out there.
Zillow also mentions a garage for Santa’s all-weather sleigh and stables that house eight live-in reindeer, plus a special stall for the famous Rudolph. While we love the little guy, it seems a tad unfair to give him preferential treatment. We doubt that helps him make new friends in the reindeer community.
The listing even includes a handy map to help visualize the location—adorable!
Interior Features
As for the cabin’s interior, the amount of wood is impressive, but do we really need everything to be red? A splash of green or gold could definitely liven things up. And peeking at the fridge, most of the holiday cards inside have a picture of Santa on the front. Slightly narcissistic, right? The kitchen boasts an oven with 12 cookie settings—a dream for anyone who loves holiday baking. Though I might be more inclined to indulge in popcorn tins during the winter months, cookies are Santa’s thing.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus undoubtedly enjoy the serene master bedroom with breathtaking mountain views. The cabin combines modern conveniences with Old World charm, but it’s worth noting that there isn’t a single TV or electronic device in sight. While I support a digital detox, I’m not sure my family could survive without internet access. How else would we binge-watch holiday classics until we’re ready to throw in the towel?
Down the hall, you’ll find two guest bedrooms for relatives who always show up during the holidays, despite your gentle reminders to visit someone else for once. And if the festive chaos becomes overwhelming, Santa’s study offers a peaceful escape from the holiday hustle, like kids squealing and grandparents wandering around like confused puppies.
Zillow describes the office as having “an impressive writing desk flanked by the same sewing table Santa used to make the original teddy bear.” There are plenty of shelves for Santa’s toy prototypes, but honestly, the selection looks a bit lacking. Where are the popular Hatchimals that have taken North America by storm? It seems Santa might be sending “sorry, we couldn’t get it” notes like many parents. And what about Star Wars merch or the latest iPhones? Come on, Santa; time to keep up with the kids’ wish lists!

Summary
Zillow has given everyone a chance to explore Santa’s North Pole cabin, complete with a toy-making workshop, stables for reindeer, and charming decor. While it’s a delightful peek into Santa’s world, some aspects, like the lack of modern technology and a rather one-sided card collection, raise a few eyebrows. Still, it’s a whimsical look into the life of the iconic figure, perfect for kids and adults alike.
