Once a lively home filled with laughter and lavish parties is now filled with darkness and the spirit of evil. The spacious living areas of Stranglewood Estate are ideal for entertaining, if your guests don’t mind the occasional scream from the walls or the feeling of being watched. Quiet nights are rare here. The house breathes. It remembers. And it waits.


Downstairs, you’ll find a full basement, large enough to hide the occasional victim, with heavy tapestries thick enough to absorb all kinds of screams. Don’t forget to pause at the second-floor balcony, where you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of the garden... and stand at the exact spot where she fell... and never truly left.


Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard lined with hedges, a gated entrance, and a location just 2 minutes from Cobra’s Curse and the Serengeti Overlook Restaurant.


Best of all? NO CDD. NO HOA fees. Just the occasional chill down your spine.
