Private Park for Auction


Imagine having your own multi-million dollar playground. It could happen...to the highest bidder!
Several years ago, the 98 cent store king, Gary Cino sunk nearly $5 million into a 4.7 acre project for his kids in Granite Bay...and now he's over it. He wants to get rid of it, so it's up for auction.
This place is amazing! It includes three 17 foot deep trout ponds, a golf platform, a cabin, a full kitchen, an outdoor pool table, Victorian playhouses, waterfalls and fountains, bridges...the list goes on and on! Did I mention the ponds are filled with fish?...trout, bass, catfish, and sturgeon. Apparently, Cino is a fish-nut...he wanted a place to go fishing.
The auction took place today....they really had no idea how much the outdoor wonderland would go for, but they were hoping for a fair amount. Auctioneer, Kevin O'Callaghan did a little practice with me before today's big event.
UPDATE: It sold for $1.3 !!!
