The ReUse Center: 36,000 SF Modern Home on Lake Minnetonka

[WraithSKA2]

House was built by man who was selling Gold coins in a Ponzi type scheme. House went to Gov then Rick Born bought it & remolded it. Then his Co went under. Then Denny Hecker (bad Auto dealer, took Chrysler for $550 mil) owned it & resold it. New guy bought it & he went broke, got in trouble with the IRS so again the Gov got it. Now no one will buy it cause they think they will go broke if they do. It's not that much money. Last year Pillsbury Estate "Southways" was for sale @ $53 mil

I couldn't agree more with plainspoken. This IS hideous.

So a 36k square foot home full of poor taste will be replaced by a larger, more garish one?

A great way of making huge savings on home improvements is by reusing salvaged building materials

I suppose "modern" describes the residence.

Hideous modern for sure.

Just saw this on neatorama, was this site repossessed to recoup some losses on a bankruptcy? And who was the previous owner, just curious :)
