What Will Be The Future Of The Llenroc Estate?

Filed under: Estates

One of my favorite commenters Spectacular Bid let me know about the sad situation of the Kolath Mansion, a property we've covered before as the Llenroc Estate in Rexford, New York. The home, which was listed at $12.9 million in 2007 was recently on the market for $30 million.

But last week, the owner Mathai Kolath George, his son George Kolath, and St. Mary's Hospital doctor Krishnan Raghavan were killed when their small plane crashed just after takeoff. George was licensed as a student pilot by the Federal Aviation Administration and owned the plane and Raghavan was a certified commercial pilot and certified instructor. Investigations into why the plane went down are ongoing. What will happen to this property is unclear currently.

Llenroc Estate, Estate of the Day

If a home was rumored to cost $32.5 million to build what should it sell for? The Llenroc Estate, which went on sale in Saratoga County in upstate New York this week is said to have cost that much when it was created by Albert Lawrence in 1992. The castle-like home sits on 12 acres on the Mohawk River. Lawrence, a devoted Cornell alum, modeled his home after the campus center. What is Llenroc? It's Cornell spelled backwards. The five-bedroom home is made from Llenroc stone (the same stone used to create the Llenroc dorm at Cornell). As befits a modern castle there are all sorts of unique details such as Scandanavian marble flooring, hand-painted Portuguese tiles, a dining room with a gilded coffered ceiling and a five-floor glass elevator. Particularly eccentric touches include the sailboat-shaped indoor pool with separate hot tub, a four-story solarium, a mermaid bar with see-through views of the pool and dancing fountains. This home is listed at $12.9 million.
