Lenny Dykstra House Auction Scheduled

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

I've got a major update on the Lenny Dykstra situation. According to legal documentation filed at the Ventura County Recorders Office, on July 9 at the Ventura County Courthouse the trustee will hold an auction on the courthouse steps for the baseball-player-turned-almost-mogul's home in the Lake Sherwood area of Westlake Village. As you may recall when this was our estate of the day, this home was originally owned by hockey god Wayne Gretzky who reportedly spent $30 million creating the home. Bidders at the auction will need to match the money the Dykstras owe Index Investors in the approximate amount of $900,000 (in certified funds naturally).

There are two other smaller lien holders who have first right of refusal to bid on the $900,000 and there is also a mortgage of around $13.1 million with Washington Mutual. If these loans are paid then the new owner would be subject to the first mortgage loan from Washington Mutual (now Chase) and unpaid property taxes of around $275,000. This way the owner might be able to avoid obtaining a new loan (no easy feat in the current lending climate which tends to frown on jumbo loans).

Lenny Dykstra in Thousand Oaks, Estate of the Day

Add another to our list of celebrity slow sellers. Move Trends reports that Lenny Dykstra's home has had a steep discount since it first hit the market last June for $24.95 million. The retired baseball player bought the Thousand Oaks, California home from another retired player, Wayne Gretsky, for $18.5 million in 2007. The six-bedroom neo-Georgian home in the Lake Sherwood area has a guest house, carriage house, tennis courts, pool, spa and gym on 6.69 acres. The home was designed by architect Richard Landry and has a home theater, billiards room and an elaborate slightly fussy decor. The home is now listed at just $16.5 million (or for rent for $55,000). I wonder if the deep discount has anything to do with the rumors of trouble about Dykstra's magazine, The Players Club.

The home doesn't come with much in the way of land and it is situated on the 16th hole of the golf course so if privacy is a concern this isn't your dream house. it is listed at $9.825 million. After the jump, the rather presidential desk in the office is just about the only thing interesting in this home.
