The house where the popular 1983 movie, "The Big Chill," was shot has hit the market for $4.5 million.
The movie was about seven former college friends who had gathered for the funeral of one of their friends 15 years after graduation. The dead friend was played by Kevin Costner, whose scenes were cut from the final version of the film so that he never actually appeared.
The house in Beaufort South Carolina antebellum is now on sale, and locals say the house remains a tourist attraction for the film's devotees, although they stopped offering tours years ago, according to reports.
The 7,300-square-foot house, known as Tidalholm, was built in 1853. The Italianate house has views of the Beaufort River and sits on 1.38 acres of land. The property includes a two-bedroom guest cottage, which was referenced in the movie as the place Costner's character had been renting.
"Either somebody locally, who has always wanted it, will come along and maintain and preserve it, or you've got that Hollywood allure surrounding 'The Big Chill,' and that might bring in the buyer," said Sotheby's International Realtor Catherine Donaldson to the Beaufort Gazette. Hollywood discovered the house in 1979, when it was used to film the Pat Conroy novel, "The Great Santini."
