We report the discovery of a nearby massive white dwarf with He-H atmosphere. The white dwarf is located at a distance of 74.5 ± 0.9 pc. Its radius, mass, effective temperature, H/He ratio, and age are R = 2500 ± 100 km, M = 1.33 ± 0.01 M_☉, T_eff = 31 200 ± 1200 K, H/He ∼ 0.1, and 330 ± 40 Myr, respectively. The observed spectrum is redshifted by V_r = +240 ± 15 km s^–1, which is mostly attributed to the gravitational redshift. The white dwarf shows a regular stable photometric variability with amplitude Δg ≃ 0.06^m and period P = 353.456 s suggesting rapid rotation. This massive, hot, and rapidly rotating white dwarf is likely to originate from the merging of close binary white dwarf system that avoided explosion in a thermonuclear Type Ia supernova.
