Former baseball relief pitcher, Jeff Nelson's custom built cabin has been yanked off the market as it has sold for $575,000. The New York Yankees player had first listed the home in 2010 with an asking price of $1.19 million. However, the place has sold for lesser than half the asking price.
The estate is located in the Kahler Glen golf course area situated between the village of Leavenworth and the Stevens Pass, just near the Wenatchee Lake. The lodge style cabin is spread across 0.85 acres with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A gourmet Kitchen and a large central room, completely made with wood are some of its features. The home also sports picturesque views of the mountains and the lake, reports icicle creek Real Estate
Nelson used the home as a rental for vacation venues. The buyer's identity has been kept anonymous, reports Curbed Ski.
Apart from winning the World Series Championship four times, Nelson grabbed headlines with his controversial "bone-chip" auction on e-bay. In 2006, Nelson announced his retirement as he went under the knife to relieve a nerve in his right elbow. After the surgery, he put up removed bone chips from his elbow for sale on eBay, which the website cancelled. It was rumored that Nelson's two daughters would be handling the proceeds from the auction and giving them away to charity.
Nelson is also famous for his "spit-fire-candid" nature which was one of the main reasons for his fallout with the Yankees and Mariners.
Nelson is a member of the Kahler Glen Athletic Club, which offers features like fitness facilities and a swimming pool to the members of the Kahler Glen estate. However, the area is avalanche prone. A few homes were destroyed in the nearby place due to an avalanche in 2008. Nevertheless, the place is a must-visit as it lays in the lap of mother nature.
