It’s called The Newhall Mansion, and the 10-bedroom, 12-bathroom home has been featured in many popular shows, including “The X-Files” and “Murder, She Wrote,” thanks to its statuesque beauty and striking views.

“Nestled at the base of idyllic Lake Piru, an hour or less from Los Angeles, the property (originally known as the Cook Mansion) is a blend of Western California heritage and Victorian luxury dating back to the citrus empires that ruled the land at the beginning of the 20th century,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty says.

Built in 1984, the 11,500-square-foot property has an old-world sort of feel, both on the inside and out, with an almost vintage, Victorian build, which makes it the picture perfect venue for just about any event.

Combing through the photos, a few different things stand out, including what looks like a studio apartment with stone walls, giving it an almost dungeon vibe that blends in perfectly with the rest of the mansion’s lavish decor.
