A California home that was the site of a meth-making operation before it was raided by the FBI in March is now on the market for $1.5 million.

The six-bedroom, four-bathroom house in San Jose features an in-ground swimming pool and an "inactive meth lab and meth contamination," according to the Zillow listing.

Would-be buyers are not allowed on the property until it's decontaminated and cleared by the Santa Clara County Health Department.

Earlier this year, authorities arrested Peter Karasev, who was living there with his wife and three young children, for stockpiling bomb-making chemicals, methamphetamine and firearms. It's unclear if Karasev owned the home.

Karasev is currently in custody and facing additional charges for allegedly planting bombs on PG&E electrical transformers in south San Jose.
