The McCune Mansion, Estate Of The Day

Filed under: Estates

I am a sucker for a good real estate story and today's estate definitely has one. The McCune mansion which was built in the 1960s by an oil tycoon, Walker McCune, has 53,000 square feet of space and sits on six hilltop acres. The home was most recently owned by the eccentric Geordie Hormel, heir to the Hormel Foods fortune. Hormel who died last year, was a successful music producer in Los Angeles and also owned the Wrigley Mansion in Chicago. The home has a ballroom with a giant crystal chandelier, multiple kitchens, an ice-skating rink, 150-seat theater, dark room, beauty salon and more. The home was originally listed at $25 million. It sits now at $20 million but I bet it might go much lower. Especially since the home is said to be in fixer-upper shape. After the jump, what can be done with this massive home?
