The previous owners of the estate, Wayne and Betty Gorell, fell in love with true lakefront living and all it has to offer, including breathtaking views and a coveted sense of privacy.

Though the identity of the new owners remains a mystery, it has been noted that they hail from out of state and are not particularly high-profile individuals.
