Photos: Ishmael Bermudez's 'Well of Ancient Mysteries' in Miami
Ishmael Bermudez lives with his wife and his 92-year-old father in a rundown house on a tenth of an acre in downtown Miami. It's valued at about $2 million, but he won't sell for anything: He's been excavating the yard for 50 years and believes that the natural spring he found there must be preserved for the ages. "Right now, this place belongs to the world," he says. "All I do is take care of it. ... It's yours. It's ours. I never say it's mine." Click here to read more about it on Yahoo Homes.
