WTF?

I was messing around on Google maps and I found this huge estate out on Roberts Island... Can anyone shed some light on who owns this?

Just for scale, here's a normal large-sized house with a big swimming pool, tab between the 2 links at the same zoom level and you'll get a sense of how big the house and property are.

that building out in the back..that the trail goes through to in the woods there...thats a mink farm.
One of my moms Ex-Boyfriends used to stay in the house while buddy was gone and look after the mink.

i know a few people with mink ranches and they dont have houses like that haha

Awesome, this place has sparked some interest for me. A few ppl here at Lotus were talking about it. Would make some sweet photos. I guess before it, there's a greenhouse with an old VW van inside the greenhouse! I'm gonna check this shit out and possibly sneak around the premises and walk thru that maze. Also, I guess they used to hunt wild boar (invite only) right there throughout the property.
