Omaze mansion
A stunning £2.5 million house in Dorset is up for grabs in the latest Omaze prize draw.
The winner will get the keys to a contemporary, five-bedroom, three storey home with rainforest inspired gardens nestled within the countryside near the town of Wimborne Minster.
It is the latest offering from Omaze, whose properties have been subject to something of a ‘curse’, with the vast majority of prizes sold less than 12 months after being won.
Winners are also given £100,000 in cash to help them settle in and can either live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income or sell it. Entries to the latest draw cost just £10.
If the winner decides to rent it out, local estate agents estimate that the property could achieve a long-term rental value between £5,000 and £6,000 per month.

The house has been contextually designed with striking elevations that incorporate the landscaped gardens and woodland backdrop.
It is built using natural wood panels, tiled accents and black powder coated aluminum framed windows with large bi-fold doors.
The design of the property uses full height glazing to offer incredible views of the lush green gardens, while filling the house with natural light and allowing the wooded environment outside to provide a natural tapestry throughout the house.
Alongside this, the 4,294 sq. ft. new build property celebrates nature with a sun terrace and wrap-around decking that will invite the lucky winner to embrace the outdoors.
It is arranged on three levels and has state of the art finishes with smart tech throughout.
A spa-like bathroom with freestanding bath forms part of the property
There are three further bedroom suites, each with built-in furniture (Pictured: One of the rooms)
It also has distinct areas for everyday family life as well as entertaining.
The magnificent open plan living room and kitchen has bifold glass walls on two sides and is separated from the formal dining room by a feature fireplace wall.

There are stylish veined Dekton surfaces and integrated appliances including an induction hob with downdraught extractor, twin ovens, microwave, drawer dishwasher, larder fridge, wine fridge, freezer and a boiling water tap.
A generous hardwood deck opens into the kitchen and family room, providing the perfect space for entertaining alfresco. The elegant drawing room has doors to terraces at both the front and rear of the house.
Also on this floor is an en suite guest bedroom with shower room. A hardwood staircase with glass balustrade leads to a galleried landing sitting area, and a mirrored walkway gives access via a timber footbridge that seamlessly connects the interior and exterior spaces.

As well as making its Grand Prize winner a multi-millionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw in Dorset, will raise money for BBC Children in Need.
BBC Children in Need fund grassroots organisations and projects across the UK, with the aim of providing the vital positive relationships children need, to help them navigate challenges in their lives.
It funds thousands of local charities and project workers who support, inspire and champion children and young people to make sure that every child has the childhood they deserve and the support they need to thrive.
The money raised from the partnership with Omaze will support BBC Children in Need to fund more vital youth work projects in communities across the UK, to provide young people living in tough conditions with a space where they feel safe.
