Can I access the locked house that can appear in the Southern Highlands?

Today I've encountered a building in the Southern Highlands that looks like it should be accessible, but I did not find any way to do that. It has two doors, both can't be interacted with or destroyed. Is there a way to enter the structure, or is it just some pretty background object?

Here's how it appears on the minimap:

And here's how the inaccessible doors appear:

door 1

door 2


You cannot actually open that house, or any other house that you find locked. You have a chance to find the doors open when the map is generated, so your best bet to get in is to restart the game until you find it open.


This leads to the Abandoned Servant House random event, part of the "No Stone Unturned" achievement. Here you will find Arghus the Collector, who will sell you dyes.

It's random!

Sometimes the closed one will spawn, sometimes the open one will spawn, and other times neither will spawn.

A good place to reset and check for it is the "Trailing the Coven Khazra Barricade" quest (Act 1, quest 8, part 2).

Walk up to the barricade to get the checkpoint, then walk south and look to your right to check.

If you see rocks then chances are the house spawned (open or closed).

Check

If you see trees and tents then chances are that there is no house spawned (reset and try again).
