Has anyone seen pictures of the Kerry Idaho estate?

I've seen lots of shots of him on the slopes but nothing of the $5 million chateau.

No, I haven't seen it, but have heard it was brought over from England, piece by piece. There's something about conspicuous consumption I'll just never understand.

I have not seen any photos of the Sun Valley ski lodge - which was a barn in England and dismantled and brought over piece by piece along with an English carpenter to reassemble it. By all accounts, it is the grandest mansion in Sun Valley and is very secluded.

But Drudge did run a photo of the Italian mansion which the Kerry's sold before he announced for President..

Sen. John Kerry sold his foreign mansion in Italy just weeks before he announced a run for the White House in January of 2003, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Actor George Clooney purchased the stunning 18th century mansion located in the Italian village of Laglio [50 miles north of Milan] from Kerry and his wife for $7,800,000. Clooney first learned about the listing from Brad Pitt, who had been holidaying with his wife Jennifer Aniston at Versace's compound nearby.

While Kerry and his wife's homes in the United States are worth at least $23,733,705, it is not clear if the candidate currently owns property overseas.

The campaign has repeatedly denied requests for any information on foreign assets held by Kerry.
