The real Disneyland Haunted Mansion,
decked out for Halloween.
A Duluth man is selling a replica of the Haunted Mansion attraction he built complex with seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, an in-law/nanny suite and and an upstairs guest suite. The 10,000 square foot home is four stories and comes with a hot tub. It also comes with one ghost. He probably didn't have room for the 998 others since this is a fully functional house.

The house is being sold through Theme Park Connection, which specializes in buying and selling rare Disney items.

The house is up for sale by the owner and designer Mark Hurt, a Disney contractor. He built the house in 1996 and matched the dimensions of the architectural structure with the real Haunted Mansion.

The details mentioned in the listing are amazing. He actually was able to measure the real Haunted Mansion to get the idea of the size. He located the foundry Walt Disney used to make the iron details for the original house and had them make the iron for his house. He was so particular on the exterior the roof has four faux smoke stacks to match the original. He even has The Haunted Mansion sign on one of the post of the exterior of the building.

According to the listing, "The home is no stranger to parties as it has hosted many themed parties and even two weddings. Mark said that the neighbors would ask to come into the house on Halloween because of a specially themed bathroom that is featured on the 1st floor. In this bathroom, Mark created an actual animated ghost scene. By secrets only known by Theme Park Connection, when you are washing your hands, the lights start to flicker and the Haunted Mansion attraction music sounds and to your surprise a ghost appears in the mirror."

Hurt is selling the home to move on to more ambitious projects, according to the website.

The specific listing can be found here.
