The Aiken Estate – Savannah, Georgia
This Savannah house was built in 1855. The Aiken Estate boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private courtyard, and a veranda. It is all yours if you have $1.253 million to spare. This served as the family home of writer Conrad Aiken. Formerly owned by William and Anna Aiken, the house was witness to their unhappy marriage. She tried to have him institutionalized, so you can see that the author did not grow up in a happy home. This might be the reason people are hesitant to buy the historic mansion. We are sure that the rumors of ghosts do not help things either.

Granot Loma – Lake Superior, Michigan
The Granot Loma is a sprawling mansion located off Lake Superior in Michigan. It took the expertise of 400 Scandinavian builders and artisans to bring it to life. It has 23 bedrooms, a private marine, an outbuilding with four apartments, and a hot tub. Granot Loma is on the National Register of Historic Places! The name does not mean anything in particular. Apparently, it was just a mashup of letters from the builder’s wife and children’s names. The developer hired 22 architects to design it and bought pine logs from Oregon for its construction. Once owned by a General Motors co-founder, it was abandoned after the ‘50s. The original asking price for it was $40 million, but it has since gone down to $20 million. Buyers do not seem keen on the age and the remoteness of the huge log cabin.
