Elvis fans now have a chance to own the king’s one-time home.

The house was located in East Tupelo, Mississippi, for almost a century before being meticulously dismantled in 2017 and preserved for eventual reassembly at a location of the auction winner’s choice.

A press release fromRockhurst Auctions, which will host the sale, says the opportunity to buy the house is “an incredibly special and nearly unprecedented opportunity in the collecting world.”

Though the Presleys moved around quite a bit and inhabited a few different houses in East Tupelo before it was annexed to be part of Tupelo in 1946, this house is the only childhood home of Elvis’s that has ever been put up for auction, according to Rockhurst.

During the house’s disassembly, which was done under the supervision of Elvis experts Chris Davidson and Stephen Shutts, the crew noted key features of the house that were discovered as they peeled away the home’s layers. All the elements of the house are currently stored in a 30-foot American Hauler Night Hawk Trailer, which the auction winner will also get to keep.
