The Story of the $10 Montclair Mansion with No Offers

Exactly What was the Catch?

$10 for a mansion should be enough to get most people to just jump at the deal and risk $10, even if it’s throwing money away. However, the problem had to do with where the mansion was located. Anyone who bought it, could not live in the structure while it sat on the estate. Because of its historic significance, the home was to remain empty of a resident. The only way anyone was going to get the benefit of the home itself was to move it off of the land. Of course, a project like that easily could be cost-prohibitive, both for the move as well as having land where to relocate the home and make it livable again.
