The enormous Virginia estate of former wireless telecom entrepreneur Tom Sullivan maintains the scale and amenities of a luxurious historical theme park.
There is, among other things, a two-lane go-kart track, a 180-foot waterslide leading to a lake, 26 houses, two lakefront beaches, miles of trails and even antique carriage tours led by former Budweiser Clydesdale horses. The property requires a full-time staff of 20, plus contractors. Now after two decades the entire 4,500-acre operation is going on the market for $75 million.
If it secures anything near its asking price the estate would become the most expensive residential property ever sold in the state, far surpassingof AOL co-founder James V. Kimsey’s Northern Virginia home earlier this year. Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the listing agent, noted the estate could be used as a corporate retreat or as a resort.
The Sullivan property sits on a well-known winery route in Southern Albemarle County near Charlottesville. Big names abound: At one point roughly half the property was owned by French billionaire Bernard Arnault, who heads luxury goods giant LVMH . The property is on the same stretch of road as the Trump Organization’s Trump Winery, which at one point was owned by the late John Kluge, once America’s richest person. The strip is also home to Blenheim Vineyards, which is owned by musician Dave Matthews, and to Early Mountain Vineyards, owned by AOL co-founder Steve Case and his wife Jean Case.
I heard the 4,500 acres and the hectares for the group are for me and the dated high acid yamfestivals holiday.

Not a bad estate! And if again the police shooting and the estate are burned down? Can you put things in order in the use of weapons? There are no hands and special training, or what?
No one wants to live near a Trump property so they are all moving
Has the look of a slave plantation. Decent people won't want to live on a slave plantation. Maybe one of Trump's 'very fine people' will want to turn it into a Boogaloo Boys youth camp.
Damn where’s davina when you need her
Obvious scam. Trump Org put the sellers up to it. There will be a Russian buyer paying cash. The sale will increase the value of the winery, which he will borrow against, and he’s laundered $75M for Putin cronies as a bonus.
