A YouTube explorer took a closer look at an abandoned mansion only to find a supercar inside it.

The Bearded Explorer was hiking through the forest when he came across the ‘stunning’ mansion.

From there, he began working his way through the property – and found a forgotten fleet of cars, with one model that was rather special.

A creepy mansion in the middle of the woods

In the garden, Colin Smith, aka The Bearded Explorer, came across a ‘disgusting’ swimming pool before making his way into the house.

The kitchen was in a state of total disrepair, with ripped wallpaper peeling away and a carpet covered in dirt.

Throughout the property, there was a ton of mold and smashed glass on the floor.

Despite the house’s original beauty and stature, it’s clear that it has been left to rot for many years.

Smith commented: “It is absolutely mind-blowing how do places like this become derelict and forgotten about? I don’t understand.”

When he got to the garage, he was disappointed to find it was sealed up.

But right around the corner was a supercar surprise that took his breath away.

And given that he previously found a Ferrari F1 car on a farm, his bar for surprises is set pretty high.

The supercar that left the Bearded Explorer speechless

In front of him was a black Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, admittedly looking a little worse for wear.

Not unlike when Supercar Blondie herself, aka Alex Hirschi, searched an abandoned Ferrari in Dubai and found the last thing she expected to see.

The back window had been smashed, while the tires were flattened and covered in cobwebs.

Smith found that the doors were unlocked and took a look inside, only to see more dirt and dust.

“This is heartbreaking,” he commented.

Elaborating on his feelings in the caption for his video, he said: “The car has been off the road since 2013 and has x4 flat tires, all the brakes are seized, the rear window smashed & moss growing on the rear seats.

“This truly upsets me seeing such a wonderful car collecting dust and being neglected like this.”

When in good shape, these cars can fetch around $140,450 and reach top speeds of 306 km/h (190mph).
