Update: We now have the eBay listing for the Haunted Mansion home in Georgia.
Upset that you aren’t the family that purchased the Pixar Up house in Utah? How about a chance to own a replica of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in Georgia? Theme Park Connection, a Disneyana reseller known for buying and selling some of the rarest Disney items in the world, brings you this over-10,000 Square Foot house modeled after the Disneyland Haunted Mansion.
“This definitely is the most unique Disney item we have ever offered for sale,” said Theme Park Connection’s owner Marc Pianko. “This one is beyond anyone’s wildest dream. Can you imagine the Halloween Parties you could have here?”
Owner and designer of the home, Mark Hurt, a Disney contractor, partnered with Theme Park Connection to sell the property after becoming a customer of the company. Hurt built the 4-story, over 10,000 square foot, 7 Bedroom, 6 Bath home in 1996 and added elements to replicate the attraction at Disneyland. Per the attraction spiel “there is always room for one more,” but in this case it’s one more family, not ghosts. Hurt has assured us, though, that the house is not actually haunted as he had lived there with his wife and son for many years.
