The S.K. Pierce Mansion (and it's storied history) in Gardner, Massachusetts can be yours for the asking price of just a little over a cool million. I know, right? I was thinking the same thing. The price all by itself is scary.

But if you really think about it, $1,200,000 for a newly-renovated mansion is almost a steal! Plus, most of the furniture comes with it, making for an even bigger deal. I tell ya, if I could afford it, I would definitely snatch it up.

Think of the profit you could make if you turned it into an Airbnb, or something along those lines. Lovers of all things paranormal would be flocking to your front door just looking for an overnight or weekend stay.

And the real estate listing does not shy away from the haunted aspects and details of the structure, either. According to the listing on the LAER Realty Partners website:

This legendary 7 bed, 3.5 bath Victorian masterpiece spans 3 full floors of historic grandeur and chilling intrigue....Whether you envision hosting haunted tours, overnight stays, or exclusive one of a kind retreats, the possibilities are as endless as the stories held within these walls.

A quick history of the S.K. Pierce Mansion sums up all you need to know. In 1875, a wealthy business owner has the mansion built as a dream home for his wife who sadly dies just weeks after they move in.

Later, during the Great Depression, the youngest son of the original owner, turned the mansion into a boarding house where all sorts of debauchery including prostitution, gambling, and possibly murder took place.

Eventually, the owner lost the mansion in a game of poker. The new owner allowed him to stay and live in the basement where he died a few years later. He wasn't the only one, though. Several other family members passed away in the mansion.

Several rooms (including the basement) in the structure are said to be haunted. Here's your chance to find out by picking it up for a (relatively inexpensive) song. Check out the listing by visiting LAER Realty's website here.
