A rare eight-sided Virginia mansion with a spooky reputation is looking for its next owner.<\/p>\n

The historic Octagon Mansion in Wytheville, Virginia, has hit the market for $295,000, offering buyers six bedrooms, roughly 5,000 square feet and more than 150 years of history \u2014 as well as a past tied to paranormal investigations and ghost-themed events, according to Realtor.com.<\/p>\n

Built in 1870, the home is one of the country’s few remaining octagon houses, an architectural style that briefly gained popularity in the mid-1800s before largely disappearing, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the property operated as the Octagon Mansion History Museum after curator John Cushman purchased it in 2019. The museum hosted regular “Dinner with a Ghost” events before closing in March 2025. Prior to Cushman\u2019s purchase, the home sat vacant for nearly a decade, according to Realtor.com.<\/p>\n

“The Octagon Mansion in Wytheville is a genuine rarity, and not just because of its haunted reputation,” Realtor.com Executive Editor Charlie Lankston told FOX Business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lankston said octagon homes had a brief run in the late 1850s and early 1860s, when some design experts argued the eight-sided layout could give homeowners “more space for less money.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the trend faded by the early 1900s, and many octagon homes were eventually demolished, he noted.<\/p>\n

“The fact that this 1870 property has survived more than 150 years largely intact, with its original hardwood floors, custom millwork, and architectural bones still in place, makes it a unique piece of American history,” Langston said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the property\u2019s most recent owners declined to tell FOX Business why they are selling.<\/p>\n

The mansion has been substantially remodeled, with updates including a commercial kitchen, refreshed bathrooms and upgraded electrical systems. Some original features, such as hardwood floors, built-ins and detailed millwork, remain intact, Realtor.com noted.<\/p>\n

The property’s B-2 zoning could also give the next owner flexibility.<\/p>\n

The home could potentially be used as an event venue, bed-and-breakfast or mixed-use space, according to Realtor.com.<\/p>\n

“For anyone with an interest in preservation, there aren\u2019t many opportunities like this left, particularly at a price point under $300,000,” Langston said.<\/p>\n
