McAfee's Mansion For Sale Again

Filed under: Estates


While browsing through real estate listings searching for an estate of the day I came across a rather familiar home. The McAfee mansion in Woodland Park, Colorado, which sold at auction for $5.72 million back in May, is now back on the market. At the time the mansion and 280-acre estate were expected to sell for $20 million but Jeffrey Patrick Wu, a 29-year-old Chicago commodities trader got himself quite a deal. At the time Wu said he planned to use the mansion as a vacation home. Yet here we are seven months later and the mansion is listed at $8.9 million. It would be a nice return on his investment if he gets that price. Check out the pictures from when it was our estate of the day here.

McAfee Mansion Sells For A Song

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping


Thanks to a tip from our reader Gini, I learned that one lucky man got a crazy good deal on the gorgeous McAfee mansion in Colorado. Jeffrey Patrick Wu, a 29-year-old Chicago commodities trader picked up the house for just $5.72 million, way below the expected $20 million. Wu, who is originally from Colorado, plans to use the 280-acre estate as a vacation home.

In an article in the Rocky Mountain News, McAfee is quoted as saying that the owner got an excellent deal. McAfee is not new to the auction game, he has auctioned three other properties in the past three years. Bidding started at $15 million but dropped all the way down to $3 million when no one bid. The deal also included the furnishings for the home. It's simply amazing that all that land and all that house sold for this little, I was expecting it to easily hit $15 million or more.
