Alex Murdaugh Murder House Sells For Massive Discount

The house where Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and son has officially moved off the market, and it sold a significant discount.

The South Carolina hunting lodge - known as the Moselle Estate House - is where Alex shot Maggie and Paul to death, and it sold at auction for $1 million, according to Realtor.com. The sale price didn't meet the $1.1 million minimum bid, but was still sold.

The house has four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and sits on 31 acres. The name of the new owner isn't known, but they got it at a significant discount. The entire 1,772 acre estate was originally sold in 2023 for $2,663,676 after having an asking price of $3.9 million.

Those owners split off the house and 21 acres, and attempted to sell it for $1.95 million in 2023, according to the same Realtor.com report. However, that price proved to be high, and it's now gone for a cool $1 million. That's nearly a 50% discount.

Murdaugh murder house sells for $1 million.

There's one big question that has to be asked in this situation:

Could you live on an estate that was the location of multiple deaths?

Paul and Maggie Murdaugh were shot and killed in a grisly murder that resulted in Alex Murdaugh getting two life sentences, but their deaths weren't the only ones at the property.

The family's former housekeeper Gloria Satterfield died in the main house, and it was initially claimed she tripped over some dogs on the stairs. Alex Murdaugh later admitted no dogs were involved, and her death is viewed as suspicious by many.

That's a total of three deaths on the estate. Paul and Maggie were shot outside the main residence and Gloria died inside.

Could you stomach that in order to get a nearly 5,300-square-foot house and 21 acres at roughly a 50% discount? Clearly somebody was okay with it, but it'd probably be a pass from me.

This is literally the plot of the first season of "American Horror Story," and I don't want any part of it. If it was just one death, perhaps I could be convinced. That's not the case.

It's three deaths, and two brutally graphic and bloody murders that were carried out at close range. Pass. Very hard pass.

I'm not messing with a location that represents so much pain and death. I'm not even really a believer in the paranormal, but no need to test the limits, even at a healthy discount.
