No, but if you find a house nobody else in the city, country and even the content you live in have ever seen or aware of then yes you can yourself a “discoverer”. e.g. if humans somehow found sentient aliens somewhere in the galaxy you wouldn't consider that a discovery either? Whether or not they later enslave or murder them doesn't really change that...
