Lookalike White House up for sale with ‘eye-bleeding’ £7 million price tag


A lookalike White House is up for sale for a staggering £7million ($8,415,820). The five-bedroom, 11-bathroom luxury property features towering columns, a circular front facade and the US national flag standing proud next to it.

An elegant dining room adds to the the Presidential finish – but no feature is more fitting than the replica Oval Office.

It is located 730 miles away from Washington DC in Evansville, a city of around 120,000, in Indiana.

Berkshire Hathaway Homes listed the home for an eye-watering $8.5million, describing it as a “single family” property.

Posted on Facebook by the agents, the home split opinion, with some loving the size and scale.

Marian Webb Foreman said: “Chancellor’s place!! Wow! Breathtaking place! I was lucky to see it many years ago!”

Lori Thurmond Jennings added: “Room for 26 cars…I need 25 other people to help me pay for it.”

“What on earth is this doing in Evansville?” another user asked.

Others were more critical. Bobbie Kuykendall said it is “too white” and fears “dog paw prints” would get everywhere.

Another user called it “eye-bleedingly tacky”, adding: “If this were the White House, I’d renounce my citizenship.”

“Not sure anyone else will want to spend that much money to live in Evansville, Indiana,” another user said.

One more user said: “If it doesn’t include any politicians then it’s definitely better than the White House…”

Despite sharing a similarity to the actual White House, and costing a massive amount, the Indiana property can’t hold a candle to the real thing in terms of value.

Washington DC appraiser Dennis Duffy told the Wall Street Journal that if the home of the President was listed, it would fetch a minimum of $1.5billion.

The White House itself is 100,000 square foot. It has 13 bedrooms, 35 bathrooms and sits on 18 acres.
