A mansion tucked away in the wilds of Missouri stands empty. Its isolated location has no roads leading to it, and no signs of any infrastructure surrounding it. There isn’t even a visible driveway, any pavement having long reverted to dense grasses and underbrush. This would suggest that the house has been abandoned a long time, but that is belied by the fact that it’s in remarkably good shape. Though mostly bare, the gorgeous woodwork throughout is intact and there are no broken windows or noticeable roof leaks. There is even a fully made bed in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
This mysterious dichotomy between the house and its surroundings begs the question: what happened here? Did a cranky loner live out a hardscrabble life here for decades off the grid? Did pranksters or squatters bring in the bed long after the rest of the place was abandoned? I’ll likely never find out, and I’m surprisingly content
with that.
This abandoned Victorian mansion was built in the 1800s. This mansion last sold in 2011 for $3 million. That price tag gets you the home and the 169 acres of land it sits on. This place is also untouched by vandals and is soon to be demolished.
