Billionaire’s $26M Ghost Mansion Now For Sale—Demons Included Free

KEY POINTS

•George Crocker, son of a railroad tycoon, built the mansion in 1907 using $2 million of Gilded Age wealth.
•The 75-room estate featured state-of-the-art 1907 amenities including a player pipe organ and a refrigerated flower room.
•In 2023, ex-billionaire Miles Guo faced a federal fraud arrest, and now the $19 million mansion is up for bankruptcy sale.

Behold the Crocker-McMillin mansion, a 1907 masterpiece built by railroad heir George Crocker with $2 million of early 20th-century monopoly money—think a Harry Potter castle meets Monopoly’s Boardwalk. This 50,000-square-foot Indiana limestone and Harvard-brick nightmare boasts 75 rooms, steam boilers, ice cream freezers, a central vacuum, and a 30-foot Aeolian player pipe organ loud enough to summon actual spirits. It’s been home to seminary students (because who wouldn’t want to study faith inside 21 bedrooms and a frozen flower fridge?), and most recently to Miles Guo, a former billionaire who enjoyed fraud charges more than the lily ponds. Now bankrupt and listed at $19 million, this estate outclasses your mom’s Airbnb.

Nothing screams ‘made it’ like owning a players’ pipe organ and losing your fortune to federal fraud charges. Maybe the ghosts will at least pay rent?

This mansion proves you can have it all: chandeliers, trout-filled lakes, and enough servant rooms to host a Game of Thrones spin-off.
