The owner is "Papa Doug" Manchester, The Wall Street Journal reported. Manchester is the chairman of developer Manchester Financial Group. The president named him as his pick for Bahamas ambassador in 2017, but Manchester withdrew from consideration last October ahead of a CBS News investigation into what it described as "a possible pay-for-play scheme involving the Republican National Committee" and Manchester.
Manchester’s 17,000-square-foot home up for sale includes 10 bedrooms, nine bathrooms and five half-baths, according to the listing. The estate also includes five detached guest/service quarters and the opportunity to build two more residences.
