I found this crazy structure while exploring. It's in a Grasslands biome. It seems to be a pig house with a pig wandering around inside. Surrounding the house are structures that are called "Obelisk" and "Basalt" when moused over. I've never seen a pig house displayed this way. Is there something special about the house or the pig? Is there a way I can destroy the obelisks and basalt to gain entrance?

That is what's known as a Set Piece.
There are several set pieces in the game; some useful, some not so useful. The one you're looking at, which has been called the "Insane Pig" by some members of the community, is absolutely worthless.
There seems to be nothing special about the pig or home within the indestructible Basalt. They act just like a normal pig and home anywhere else on your world, producing the same items upon death/destruction as the others.
As for the Obelisks, well, you can infiltrate those (and it's probably why it got the name "insane pig"). In order to lower the obelisks, allowing you to walk across them, you must lower your sanity to ~15 or lower. So, it's really up to you if you think that's worth it.
