Prolific real estate investor Nicolas Cage is on the loose on a wild selling spree. Cage has already put his Las Vegas [1], Bel-Air [2], and Rhode Island [3] properties on the market, and today we have news that he's listed his two properties in New Orleans [4]. According to WDSU [5] and Real Estalker [6], Cage has listed his historical property [7] (shown right) in New Orleans's French Quarter, the most haunted home in the neighborhood, in addition to a Garden District mansion. The haunted home, known as the LaLaurie House (which I wrote about here [8]), is listed for $3.9 million, $400,000 more than he paid for it in April 2007.

The listing for Cage's 13,176-square-foot, six-bedroom, five-full-and-two-half-bath Garden District mansion, which was once an active Catholic chapel, reads [9]:

The most superlative of Garden District mansions with the best of every amenity. Ample room for a large family and big-time entertainment venue with formal gardens, parking, and everything anyone could possibly want in a most grand of grand, star-quality home.

It also features a pool and central air, which are ideal for the broiling NOLA heat. If the house looks familiar, it's probably because I quizzed you on the owner of it once [10], as it was once owned by gothic novelist Anne Rice. I've passed by the property hundreds of times myself and I can tell you it's an idyllic example of New Orleans architecture; I'd love to see interior photos.
