Many people dream of in living in a stunning mansion on a huge property — unfortunately, that dream doesn't become a reality for most people.
The truth is, huge houses on large properties cost a lot of money, and most people can't afford to live in the house of their dreams.
But that's all about to change, because a stunning mansion in Scotland is being raffled off, and the tickets are only six dollars!
We've seen derelict houses that are sold for dirt cheap, like this $1.25 abandoned house, but this one is in perfect condition — and it's actually worth a million dollars.
And no, it's not a joke or a prank. The owners of this house are actually raffling it off.
So why would they want to turn their house sale into a cheap raffle? Read below to learn more about the house and why it's being raffled off!

The website the owners created for the raffle, Win Your Dream Home, explains why they decided to raffle off their stunning Scottish home.
The owner wrote:
When we bought Dullatur House it needed a lot of modernisation but that didn’t scare us off. We upgraded, restored and painted away merrily and turned it into a great family home.
Life presented our family with various personal challenges along the way, then I lost my job and unable to find another suitable I faced the reality of being unable to pay the mortgage.
I’ve tried to sell the house through the traditional route using Estate Agents for the past 12 months, without success. Lots of people love the house, but we are fishing in a very small pool of people who can actually afford to buy it.
Instead of the banks flexing their muscles and repossessing this lovely home we’ve decided to take matters into our own hands.
We found other people running a similar competition; it’s worked for them, so why not us? Offer someone the opportunity of a lifetime to own a fantastic Scottish Country Mansion House – Mortgage Free!
The entry fee is £5 per ticket and requires you to answer a question about the house.
Exchange rates fluctuate, but £5 is equal to roughly $6.
The owners hope to sell 250,000 tickets by December 9, 2017 (the contest ends December 18, 2017) and if they do, they're going to donate £25,000 to MacMillan Cancer Support to thank everyone for their raffle tickets.
The stunning house has a fascinating history, beginning in 1745. The owner explained:
Dullatur House originated in 1745 and was extended substantially in the late 1800’s to form what is now the Mansion House and West Wing.
Dullatur House is bursting with period features set in one acre of private landscaped gardens, in the much sought after conservation village of Dullatur.
The home is full of history and is one of areas most prestigious addresses, whilst enjoying the added benefit of being an unlisted property.
The house is set in private grounds with gross external square footage extending to over 6000 sq ft, the walled garden and 250 year old Monkey Puzzle tree are truly unique in the area.
Accessed via a leafy private lane, the property has the advantage of being set within a desirable village yet is only minutes from the M80 and main railway network. Dullatur House affords near total privacy and tranquility in a conservation village setting.
The home has a lot of incredible features, including a formal lounge, a cinema room, a huge kitchen, a swimming pool, a full-sized sauna, a billiards room, a triple garage, and more.
If that wasn't enough, the house sits on an acre of land, which is beautifully manicured and well-kept.
If its incredible features weren't enough to get you interested in the house, it also has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms!
And the current owners don't care what the winners do with the house — they could live in it mortgage-free, sell it, rent it out, or turn it into a bed and breakfast.
