A mobile home owned by Elvis on the ranch where he spent part of his honeymoon with wife Priscilla is set to go under the hammer.

The holiday home, whichis described as a "spectacular piece of rock and roll history", was located on Circle G Ranch, a short distance from Elvis' Graceland estate in Memphis.

He bought the ranch in the 1960s as a getaway and started using the ranch house immediately after purchasing the property.
But Elvis also liked his so-called "Memphis Mafia" around and decided the way to do that was to buy eight house trailers and have each installed on poured concrete pads near the lake on the property.

The accommodation for the group was set back on the 163-acre property however Elvis loved spending time with them.
As a result, he ordered his two-bedroom trailer for him and Priscilla also be moved.
In April of 1967 when filming for the movie 'Clambake' was paused, Elvis was able to spend three straight weeks on the ranch.
