Owners of 165 homes in Taixing City, China’s Jiangsu province were told by the government that they would be demolished to make way for a new highway.
The relocation was completed on March 21, costing the man 120,000 yuan (£13,959), reports the People’s Daily Online.
Villagers were told that their houses had to make way for a new provincial highway and were offered compensation.
But one villager decided that he did not want to part with his three-storey property, opting to move the entire house 150 metres costing 120,000 (£13,959).
He was also compensated by the government for moving his house.
Relocating the property took two days and it was completed on March 21.
The house was moved by wooden rollers.
Images show the house in the process of moving as other villagers look on.
Demolitions are common events in China as smaller cities look to grow and bring in vital cash to the area.
