43 Rooms of Hidden Oddities at Celebrity's Hudson Valley Manor

One of America's most legendary talk show hosts has listed their multi-million dollar Hudson Valley mansion... and just wait until you see what's hiding inside.

Real estate voyeurism is one of our favorite national past times, and for good reason. While we'll most likely never be invited to a celebrity's home for a personal tour, we can all snoop digitally once that home is listed for sale. The Pawling, NY mansion that has recently hit the market not only belongs to television royalty, but it has some of the strangest details you'll see in a home of any size.

Former Television Host's Wild Mansion for Sale in the Hudson Valley, NY

Welcome to Elmwood Farm, a hulking 15,000 square-foot home with 17 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms sitting on more than 25 acres in Dutchess County, NY. The "Elizabethan Style" home also has multiple caretaker homes, a carriage house, and a horse stable nearly the same size as the house on the property. It's what's inside that's truly special, however, and that may have to do with the owner.

Sally Jessy Raphael, known for her classic television talk show, has owned Elmwood Farm for the last 26 years. Despite some very formal details (check out the portraits next to the massive samurai statue above), there are some other additions to the home that you may not see anywhere else. Take the church, for example (below).

Strange Details in Sally Jessy Raphael's Home in Dutchess County, NY

While the room may be better described as a chapel, the pews, pulpit, and beautifully-designed stained glass make the room nearly indistinguishable from a tradition house of worship. The details don't stop there, either. In what's described as "hand-painted storybook murals" by listing agent Harriet Norris, paintings on a second-floor wing include a strongman, giraffe, and a three-headed woman on the wall (below).

For such a massive property, the price tag might seem a little low for everything that's included, as the 43-room Elwood Farm is currently listed for $6.5 million. Even at a price that "low", the closest you or I will ever get to it are these fascinating photos. Take a full tour of the home below.
