Ten years ago, a local person in the know told me that Hickory Hill was a dump. There’d been no upgrading of the wiring, no remodeling, no maintenance, etc., etc., since 1968. So bad the house could not be sold.
Originally marketed at $25 mil, Hickory Hill eventually sold in 2009 for $8.2 mil. It was subsequently gutted for a total renovation.
