BEVERLY HILLS, CA – JULY 10: The gated entrance is closed to the Beverly House mansion of William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies after the residence was put on the market this week for $165 million, the most expensive listing in U.S. history July 10, 2007 in Beverly Hills, California. The home, built in 1927, includes four houses, an apartment, and a cottage on 6.5 acres of land with three separate pools, 29 bedrooms, a movie theater, and a disco. Hearst bought the mansion in 1947 for about $120,000. Twenty years ago, the house went on the market with an asking price of $25 million, one of the highest at the time, but was not sold. So far, no U.S. home sale has broken the $100-million mark. John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy honeymooned at the estate in 1953 and later used the mansion as the West Coast campaign headquarters for the Kennedy presidential campaign. The estate also appeared in the film “The Godfather”. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

You can buy a $1.7 million mansion for only $25 and a few words about why you and your family deserve and/or need the home.
Now that's what I call a deal.
Alla Wagner, of Alberta, Canada, initially put her house on the market for $1.7 million, but earlier this month she decided on a rather interesting way for buyers to purchase the property: a writing contest. Anyone interested in the house, must pay a $25 entry fee and submit a one-page essay about themselves and why they should win this contest. The essay must be no longer than 350 words.
The house is 3,853 square feet and has amazing mountain views. There are three bedrooms and 3.2 baths. There's a pond on the property, and the house sits on an acre of land. Wagner says that five percent of the net profit will be donated to a women's shelter in Calgary. She says that she just wants a family to be as happy as she's been in the house. If you have a way with words and are interested in the contest, you can find out more details here.
