Real Life ‘Conjuring’ House Sells Over Asking Price: New Owner’s Plans for the Haunted Rhode Island Property
The Conjuring movie details Ed and Lorraine Warren’s experiences with the paranormal, including the real-life house that inspired the first film in the franchise. The property, located at 1677 Round Top Road in Burrillville, Rhode Island, went up for sale in September 2021. The Conjuring house sold on May 26, 2022, for $1.525 million, well above the asking price. Find out who purchased the haunted home and what they intend to do with the property that inspired James Wan’s film.
‘The Conjuring’ house sold for $1.2 million more than the asking price
Jacqueline Nuñez, owner of the real estate development group WonderGroup LLC and deep believer in the paranormal, purchased the home that inspired The Conjuring. “I came to visit and thought, ‘I have to have this house,'” Nuñez told The Boston Globe. Nuñez paid around $1.525 million, more than 25 percent of the $1.2 million asking price.
New owner of ‘The Conjuring’ house will continue running paranormal business the Heinzen Family started
Nuñez plans to continue the Heinzen Family’s paranormal business. Corey and Jennifer Heinzen, paranormal investigators, purchased the four-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse in 2019 for $439,000.
Visits to the property will continue nightly, as will day tours and live-streamed events from The Conjuring house. Additionally, Nuñez wants to keep the Heinzens involved with the goings on. “I’m proud of them,” Nuñez added. “They are upstanding people with great integrity. I know I have big shoes to fill, and I intend to do it.”
“This purchase is personal for me,” Nuñez elaborated. “It’s not a real estate development. It’s around my own beliefs.” She continued:
“I believe we are conscious beings having a human experience and that our consciousness continues on, we are here to learn things in life and help our species evolve morally and culturally.
This house is an opportunity to connect with people who’ve moved on and died, that’s the interactivity here and the engagement with the people who have passed.”

Heinzen Family experienced paranormal activity at the Farm on Round Top Road
As soon as the Heinzen’s moved in, they started experiencing the paranormal. “Footsteps, knocks, we’ve had lights flashing in rooms, and when i say lights flashing in rooms, it’s rooms that don’t have light in there to begin with,” the Heinzens told KETK, a local Fox News affiliate.
In the 1970s, the Perron family with five daughters lived in the house, which was built in 1736. Wan’s movie The Conjuring follows the Warrens (Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga) who seek to help the Perrons.

According to their website, all available tour dates for The Conjuring house are booked for the rest of 2022. “We are taking a break from day tours at this time,” a notice on the site reads. “We will update our website and Facebook page when we are ready to add more dates!”
