Inside Nelly's Abandoned, Mysterious Missouri Mansion

Nelly bought this Missouri home in 2002 for an alleged $1,900,000 with the alleged intent to renovate it and gift it to his sister. Unfortunately, his sister fell ill with a leukemia diagnosis, putting all ideas of renovation to a halt. She passed away in 2005. The home has been vacant ever since.

The first view when entering this massive estate built in 1998 is this grand foyer!

On the upper floor, there are little pockets of open space that oversee the entrance of the home.

You can see the singing stairway that’s close to the entrance! But also, what’s up with that random fold-up chair?

The estate was sold to Kingdom of God Global Church for $500,000. However, there have been rumors that the church is a cult and has been buying several expensive properties over the years. The church was run by a disgraced pastor named David E. Taylor. Even though the property is theirs, nobody lives in the home, so at times random people come and trash it.

Look at this view! This estate sits next door to the Hidden Valley Ski Resort. With this much space, you could make your own resort.

More empty space in this massive home. What could this room be?

Not a huge fan of the tiling in this bathroom, but there’s definitely potential!

The closets in this room are humongous! Whoever eventually lives in this home is lucky.

How would you decorate this dining room?

How much money would it take to renovate this home? In several videos, it’s clear that there’s a lot of work to do. Yikes.

At one point in time, there was an old race car in the three-car garage. In recent videos, the car is no longer there. Who took it?

We’re not mad at this kitchen! What a shame that it’s never been officially used.

The living room has unfilled fountains. Interesting choice...not sure if we like that idea.

We have no idea what kind of room this is. A game room perhaps?

This is a media room! The platform is for the potential movie theater chairs, and on the opposite wall not pictured there is a screen. Okay, theater!

Let’s play a guessing game: Are these shelves for trophies and awards or shoes?

Did anybody else’s jaw drop looking at this backyard? Yes, that’s also a pool on the left side, covered in snow.

Of course, like many of the mansions we see that are owned by celebrities, there’s a private basketball court that sits on a whopping 12 acres of land.
