The Hilltop Mansion, located on Kirkman Road in Harare, has long been the subject of ghostly legends and eerie tales. This 27-room mansion, abandoned since its compulsory acquisition by the government in 2001, has a mysterious and opulent history. Constructed on a farm using expensive imported materials, the mansion reflects a grand design, with its exact construction cost unknown but undoubtedly significant.
War veterans who briefly stayed at the mansion have reported strange occurrences, including waking up outside the mansion with no recollection of how they got there, and hearing mysterious sounds, footsteps, and murmurs. Locals have also reported ghost sightings and strange noises, particularly in the basement, contributing to the mansion’s haunted reputation. Rumors of underground tunnels linking the mansion to another house in Mount Hampden have further enhanced its eerie allure.
The Hilltop Mansion remains a prominent landmark, its grand architecture contrasting sharply with its unsettling history. Now owned by the Zvimba Rural District Council, plans to convert the mansion into a hotel were abandoned, leaving its future uncertain. Despite its dark past, the mansion continues to fascinate, drawing curiosity and intrigue from those who dare to explore its mysterious halls.
