This empty, 46-bedroom mansion in Texas would make one heck of a haunted house
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><img style="float:right;" src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/558afcac6bb3f7b10ea2e6c2-800-600/hr3588198-2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="46-bedroom Texas mansion"></span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This eerily enormous "house" in Manvel, Texas is the strangest listing we've seen in a long time. </span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span>A physician and his wife started building it in 2001; </span><span>it was intended to be</span><span> a </span><span>post-surgical rehab clinic. </span></span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Today, the structure sits unfinished and empty.</span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span>RE/MAX Top Realty is listing it<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> as a shell for $3.5 million. </span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">No one's quite sure how many rooms it has: some say 46, but RE/MAX realtor Mona Miller told the Houston Chronicle that "i</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">t's probably more like 70 bedrooms," as the inside of the house is incomplete.</span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"It would be ideal for some type of institutional use," said Miller, who has had bites from parties who see it as a possible assisted living facility</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, which would actually make use of all that space. </span>
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Here's an outside-in tour of the so-called "disaster house."</span>
<h3>No driveway, landscaping, or sidewalk adorns the outside of this gigantic piece of real estate.</h3>

<h3>An unobstructed rear view of the mansion really shows how far 60,000 square feet stretches.</h3>

<h3>There's a nine-car attached garage — for all those medical transport vehicles that the good doctor never bought.</h3>

<h3>We assume this attached portico would have been the inpatient entrance. </h3>

<h3>The grass is growing a little long around the blighted property. </h3>

<h3>Though it looks like a completed home from the outside, you can tell that it's far from finished once you walk indoors. </h3>

<h3>Construction supplies like shovels, ladders, and lights give the impression that interior updates are still in progress. </h3>

<h3>This pool would be a great asset if the site were turned into an assisted living facility. Water aerobics, anyone? </h3>

<h3>The house, facility, or whatever you want to call it has two floors and an elevator. </h3>

<h3>The $3.5 million fixer upper sits on a 1.5 acre lot. It's not exactly move-in ready.</h3>

<h3>"Whoever buys the property will probably need to take it down to the building shell and the studs," Miller told the Houston Chronicle. </h3>
