A North Carolina mansion up for sale is capturing the attention of many on social media thanks to its unique feature.

The $7 million Wilmington property has everything you could wish for, from ocean views and a large porch to numerous rooms and a guest house. It also has an interesting quirk that millennials would approve of: a driveway shaped like an avocado.

The sprawling 10-acre property is located along the Intracoastal Waterway, so it naturally comes with stunning views of the ocean. The Daily Mail reports that the luxurious 10,960-square foot home has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, swimming pool, grand staircase, gazebo and even an elevator, but the driveway has been garnering the most attention. The teardrop-shaped driveway even has a "pit" in the center that looks exactly like an avocado.

The home was built by Fred Murray in 2005 and was initially list in April 2009 at $7,800,000. The price has dropped several times and is now listed at $6,999,000.

"This is a property that offers exceptional privacy, the opportunity for deepwater boating, and some of the best views that can be found on the North Carolina coast," Nick Phillips of Landmark Sotheby's International Realty told Jam Press.

The mansion was recently featured on the Instagram account Zillow Gone Wild, and commenters were having fun with the unique driveway.

"You can have avocados AND a home! People be lying to millennials," one user wrote, while another added, "Holy guacamole this is a nice place."
