NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Twelve-bedroom home by the sea.

Private beachfront.

Stream on property.

Former home of one of the world's most murderous dictators.

It's hard to imagine which selling point will resonate with modern Russian buyers, but if the rebels in the breakaway Georgian province of Abkhazia get their way someone will soon be the new owner of Joseph Stalin's former dacha, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

The secluded getaway sits perched atop the Black Sea coast, surrounded by lemon trees and rose bushes. There's an elevator down to the beach and a shady veranda where the Soviet ruler would spend his holidays relaxing, reading intelligence reports and plotting assassinations, according to the Journal.

The house is even painted military green and cloaked with giant spruce and fir trees, making it nearly invisible from land, sea or air in a bid to put the famously paranoid Stalin at ease, the report said.

The country retreat is now for sale with an asking price of $10 million, but headaches is all a potential buyer may get.

The Russian-backed Abkhaz rebels want to sell the property, and others like it, to raise money, according to the report. But no country recognizes the Abkhazia state, and Georgian officials say the rebels are peddling a property that's not theirs to sell.

Yet that hasn't deterred Russian businessmen from eyeing the real estate. The Journal reported Russian metals tycoon Oleg Deripaska is in talks for a purchase, although a deal remains a long way off.
