A lavish resort-style New York mansion is attracting attention after hitting the market – but for all the wrong reasons.
With 12 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, the Sullivan County residence is worthy of a gander whether you’re interested in buying or not.
You could be forgiven for quickly getting distracted by the poorly photoshopped images in several of the listing photos though.

This is what the property would look like from your red helicopter, if you had one.
Taking a swim might make you feel like this woman – no guarantees though.
Or you could laze by the pool like this woman …
If watching the sunset is more your thing, you could be like this couple.
Reddit users were quick to comment on the awkwardly-placed images, which include bikini-clad women by the pool, over-posed couples on the deck and in the foyer, and a helicopter hovering over the property towards a bright red and blue helipad.
“It looks more like someone gave a kid some magazines and pair of scissors,” one said.
“That’s so bad. I’ve seen middle school yearbook staffers do better,” another wrote.
“I love that the couple in the foyer seem to be floating. I guess it’s because they have so much money?” one joked.
Some were shocked by the images, with one saying they’d be “cranky if I owned a $10 million house and this was how it was marketed”, but many others saw the humour in it.
“I 100 per cent thought the poster was being funny and photoshopped it,” one person said.
“It’s kind of genius in a forced virality kind of way. I wouldn’t have seen the beautiful house if not for the silliness,” said another.

One person even did some further research, discovering the agent has several listings with a “sprinkle of clip art scattered unnecessarily through” their photos, including a truck placed on vacant land and deer by water.
“It actually worked because I scrolled his listings so maybe it’s smart marketing,” they said.
Photos aside, the 1999-built mansion is impressive, with grand interiors and an enviable outdoor entertainment area.
The property spans more than 12ha and also includes a four-bedroom guesthouse and a caretakers apartment over the barn.
It is listed with a $9,999,999 price guide.
