Inside Abandoned Mansion in USA

An urban explorer has discovered an abandoned £10.5 million mansion located in Northeast America where £10,000 worth of designer shoes have been left unopened and luxury cars left to rust

Filmmaker and photographer JeremyXplores recently stumbled across a mansion in Northeast America where hundreds and thousands of pounds worth of luxury goods have been left abandoned.

The urban explorer found an unopened £10,000 designer shoe collection left behind since 2016 plus luxury cars worth £80,000 left to rust when he visited the £10.5m mansion.

Images show the expansive exterior of the 10 bed, 11 bath property made up of four buildings left unfinished after the owner could not afford the £50,000 a month mortgage.

Another shot shows left behind vintage cars including a Volkswagen Bug and a Mercedes Benz, while a haunting picture shows an impressive shoe collection containing Chanel, Christian Louboutin and Nike Air Max all still in their dust covered boxes.

The 27,000 sq foot home was built by a local surgeon with multiple medical offices in the area.

The surgeon moved his family into the home while it was under construction, however, just six months later he and his 15 year old son were killed in a plane crash.

He left behind a wife and three other children but he had not been paying the premiums on his life insurance, meaning that all financial support was removed from her.

Urban explorer Jeremy, from Nashville in Tennessee, captured the images of the mansion on his Sony A7IV with a Sony G Master 12-24 2.8 lens and he filmed in the freezing cold location for around 11 hours.

He said: “I found the location during a google map search of rumoured abandoned mansions in the area.

“Having built a thriving empire with nine medical offices, in 2006, he decided it was time to build a dream mansion for his family.

“He was by no means a flashy man but no expense was spared in the elaborate design of this 27,0000sqft luxury villa.

“Comprised of three stories, not counting the full basement, the white marble mansion has eleven bedrooms, thirteen bathrooms, a visitors quarter, indoor pool, outdoor sports complex, four-car garage, mahogany library and an elevator.”

He explained: “They were both killed upon impact. To make matters worse, his multimillion-dollar life insurance policy had been cancelled when he failed to make payments on the premium for the three months leading up to his death.

“All financial support for his family had been stripped and eight million dollars was still owed on the mansion, not to mention the mortgage was a staggering £50,000 a month.

“And with the mansion unfinished, the prospect of selling it to someone who had the money, time, and vision to complete the elaborate build was out of the question. It took only three months for the bank to seize the property and the house was foreclosed.

As the photographer made his way around the mansion, he soon realised he wasn’t alone as there was a homeless man in the building.

Jeremy added: “I could hear a homeless man on the second floor moving about after I had apparently awakened him when I had closed the front door.

“I hid from a vantage point and waited for him to finally leave out the back window. I then began my exploration and filming my experience.

“But as the exploration went on, my excitement shifted into a feeling of sadness and reverence for the family who had lived there and watched their dreams come crashing down along with the plane that killed their father and his son.

“It felt as though I was walking through a memorial of the life and the love that once dwelled there but was forced to leave under the most tragic of circumstances.”

A majority of the designer items in the home still had tags on, including a pair of Dior shoes in the closet as well as a collection of expensive jewellery in the bathroom.

Jeremy said: “The insurmountable waste that people produce and the amount of resources that are abandoned every day is mind boggling. This house is an excellent example of this.

“People generally have the same reaction as I did when I first discovered this mega mansion- they respond in absolute amazement and at the same time, sadness for the family and the home that has begun to be consumed by nature.

“It’s beautiful to see people respond with such empathy for the family and shock at the amount of waste of such an amazing home with so much valuables left inside.

“I’ve also had a few people respond with disbelief, claiming these images are staged and the story is fabricated. Each location I publish there’s always a handful of people who can’t wrap their mind around the sad reality that things are in fact abandoned at even the most astronomical scale; whether it be of historical, monetary, or sentimental value.”
