Historic Mansion With Creepy Cellar Up For Auction

Real estate is hot these days no matter where you want to buy a place. There's one property in Australia that's about to hit the market after a 40-year absence. And we're not talking about just an ordinary place.

This mansion isn't for the faint of heart because as it turns out its original owner was a huge fan of Halloween. And some of the contents of the house are pretty creepy.

This Woodforde house was built in 1856 has been in the same family since 1977.

The family of six ought to have had lots of fun on this property, I reckon.

The house was built by William Uren, a leather dealer who liked the location because he could view the ships arriving at Port Adelaide from the house's viewing deck.

So, it must have a great view.

There's also a beautiful creek nearby that will surely offer the buyer a beautiful setting.

So if you can shell out about $1.5 million, this may be the place for you.

This property comes with five bedrooms and two baths.

As well as a tiny original Chapel, dual cellars, and a rooftop viewing platform that backs onto the council reserve.

And, of course, it also comes with a beautiful outdoor pool.

What a perfect spot for a smashing get-together for you and all your friends. Wow, this is amazing.

But what really makes this place special is the fact that the original owner's wife was totally obsessed with Halloween and made sure to add that special spooky touch.

Yikes!

Holy crikey, I wasn't kidding when I said that.

The place is stacked with all sorts of creepy mannequins, oversized spiders and bats, as well as other spooky creatures.

Even Alice Cooper makes an appearance.

I bet this is the kind of place he would feel quite at home if you ask me. I can imagine that.

And what would a scary house be without one of those creepy clowns? Eh?

Domain

Oh man, that's one thing that might keep me away. I hate clowns. I always have.

Well, if that doesn't scare you away you would be getting quite a gem if you decide to purchase this mansion.

No matter what, this place is really impressive.

I kinda like the old-school charm of this place.

It makes me feel like I've been transported into some other historical era and that's what appeals to me.

In this day and age when real estate seems to be geared towards a very modern and slick architecture this property keeps its original charm and is quite interesting.

Domain

It's definitely a unique dwelling!

I also like the fact that this property's lush surroundings make you feel like you're living in a quaint countryside but you don't have to forgo modern amenities either.

Domain

The best of both worlds!

So what do you think of this place? Is the spooky decor too much for you?

I'm a huge Halloween fan so aside from the creepy clown, I dig this.
