Haunted Mansion home in Duluth for sale

This home is just too ‘ghoul’ to pass up.

DULUTH, Ga. — Looking for a home with a touch of magic and mystery? Local realty company RE/MAX Around Atlanta has recently listed a 10,000-square-foot replica of Disneyland’s iconic Haunted Mansion for sale in Duluth.

The home, built in 1996, is located at 3816 Turnberry Court. Listed at $2.2 million, the enchanting property based on the famous attraction will surely send chills down your spine with its details that bear a striking resemblance to the attraction.

The previous owner meticulously crafted every aspect of the home’s architecture to mirror the spooktacular charm of the original – even down to the ironwork. The iron details were made by the same foundry used to make the original Haunted Mansion.

The home is nestled within the gated community of Sweet Bottom and offers a luxurious living space with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a complete butler’s pantry, a den and a host of other amenities.


“The moment you pass through the gated entry, you’ll feel a sense of wonder and belonging,” listing agent Gail Laney of RE/MAX Around Atlanta said. “This unique property offers a distinctive living experience and the opportunity to

Alibaba Unloads $360 Million of Bilibili in Latest Asset Sale

(Bloomberg) — Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. sold almost $360 million of stock in Chinese streaming platform Bilibili Inc. at a significant discount, the latest in a string of asset deals from an e-commerce pioneer seeking capital to invest in AI and rejuvenate the business.

Alibaba priced the sale of 30.85 million Bilibili American depositary receipts at $11.60 each, according to people familiar with the matter, asking not to be named as the information is private. That’s about a 5.5% discount to the stock’s closing price on Wednesday. Bilibili plunged as much as 8.4% in Hong Kong on Friday, its biggest drop in two months.

Alibaba, for over a decade one of China’s most prolific investors in everything from retailers to startups, has over the past year begun steadily whittling down its holdings. It’s sold down shares of electric-vehicle maker XPeng Inc. as well as AI firm SenseTime Group Inc., while cutting back its stake in Hong Kong-listed ride-sharing firm GogoX Holdings Ltd.

The company is now in the midst of an overhaul intended to refocus its vast business empire on core retailing as well as technology-oriented fields from the cloud to artificial intelligence. Alibaba led major

Cobblestone Manor owners trying to sell via essay contest

It’s a hot real estate market these days and one southern Alberta business is trying a unique method to stand out from the rest – for the second time.

On Jan. 15, Cardston’s Cobblestone Manor launched a new effort to attract a buyer for the 102-year-old business by offering it to anyone who has $500 and a well-written essay.

“Contestants can win the Cobblestone Manor by writing a letter of 300 words or less about their vision for the future of the property,” officials said in a news release this week.

The contest closes on July 15, but they could extend that deadline if the 3,000-letter target isn’t met.

Simple math suggests that if the required number of letters are received, the owners could raise $1.5 million through the campaign.

The Cobblestone Manor’s current owners, Ivan and Marsha Negrych, have operated it as a bed and breakfast for the past 20 years.

In 2019, they also hoped to find a buyer with the same idea, but entries were $100.

At that time, they were looking for 17,000 essays, which would mean $1.7 million for the Negrychs.

But the couple told CTV News during the first campaign that it wasn’t about

A Proposal Backed By Mayor Brandon Scott Approved To Sell Over 200 Vacant Baltimore Properties For $1 Each To Local Residents

A new housing proposal in Baltimore, MD, is modeled after the city’s property program from a few decades ago.

In the 1970s, Baltimore had a “dollar house” program, in which residents got to own vacant properties for $1 each under the requirement of fixing them, according to Bloomberg. Now, the idea to revitalize has surfaced again.

The Baltimore Sun reports that Major Brandon Scott supported the proposal to offer over 200 vacant properties in Baltimore to people who will repair and live in them. The Baltimore Board of Estimates approved the program on March 20. The program was designed mainly for individual buyers and community land trusts. However, for $3,000, developers and large non-profits can also purchase unoccupied houses (small non-profits would pay $1,000).

This proposal is an opportunity to combat an ongoing issue in Baltimore. The Baltimore Sun mentions that unoccupied homes are a big problem throughout the city, numbering more than 13,000. This new program will only cover some vacant homes, as not all are city-owned. Guidelines have also put focus on the more “stressed” housing markets, such as East and West Baltimore.

While it may be welcomed by a good number of residents and housing advocates,

Artist David Bromley selling gaol-turned-art museum with multimillion dollar collection

Some real estate is just bricks and mortar, but once in a while a listing comes along that’s more than a simple property, but also the sum of its parts.

That’s the case for renowned artists and creative directors David Bromley and his wife Yuge who’ve decided to not only part with their utterly unique gaol-turned-art museum in Victoria’s Castlemaine, but also its entire contents – if the buyer fits, that is .

“It took us five years to get it to the stage where we felt when the doors were open it would really astonish people. There are options in the purchase of the property that if someone wants part or all of it we’ll negotiate. We’re open and we’re going into this prepared for any scenario. Having said that, in our eyes it’s actually one gigantic installation, a curated piece,” he told realcommercial.com.au.

BC senior wins injunction allowing her to sell home

A BC senior who has spent more than $3.4 million on the construction of a home on the Sunshine Coast has been granted an injunction against the former co-owners of the property, who have contributed only $115,000 to the project.

Maria Sandberg Jones and the two men she bought the property with in May 2020 – Leslie Thomson and Andrew Press – are involved in ongoing claims and counterclaims against each other in BC Supreme Court.

While the litigation is still ongoing, Justice Anita Chan granted Jones an injunction earlier this month that requires Thomson and Press to vacate the property, which will allow Jones to sell it and recover some of her investment.


The ownership arrangement

According to Chan’s decision, which was issued Jan. 10 and posted online this week, Jones is the sole registered owner of the property.

When the trio first purchased the land in Gibsons, this was not the case. Initially, Jones was registered as owning an undivided one-quarter interest in the property, with 1251078 BC Ltd. – a numbered company controlled by Thomson and Press – owning the rest.

The plan was to build a home on the property that would have a separate
