A luxurious multi-million dollar mansion is now up for sale - but the dreamy home has a dark secret hidden behind its four walls.

The $2.8 million (￡2.2m) abode, nestled in the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles, boasts an outdoor pool and a state-of-the-art interior with a large private living space, a majestic garden and a scenic views.

The gated two-bedroom home, which was built in the 1920s, seems like the perfect place to live - but a bloody past haunts the residence.

The house, located along Waverly Dr, Los Feliz was formerly owned by Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary.

The couple were brutally killed by cult leader Charles Manson and members of his so-called Manson family at their home in August 1969.

They were mercilessly executed by the Manson Family commune not long after after cult members killed pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

Real estate agent Robert Giambalvo revealed the history behind the multi-million dollar mansion, which is now on the market.

In California, it is mandatory for any seller to reveal any deaths in the property over the last three years.

The home hides a dark past

But due to the high profile nature of the case, he decided to make the public aware on the unfortunate event that befell the residence 50 years ago.

Mr Giambalvo told the Los Angeles Times: “We don’t want somebody to go into escrow and find out 10 days, 15 days later that there was the event that happened 50 years ago. And then they don’t want to buy it because of that.

“We just wanted people to make offers with their eyes wide open.”

The couple, who were brutally killed, are sometimes referred to as the forgotten victims

“The first showings were yesterday, and I already have several people telling me that their clients are preparing to make an offer.”

The house was last put on the market in 1998, and other local real estate agents do not think the home's dark history will affect its selling.
