The property reflects Rogers' signature style and often served
as musical inspiration throughout his career. Rogers hosted several
publicized golf tournaments, including the popular Classic Weekend,
a fundraising event featuring basketball, tennis, fishing and golf,
in addition to music and entertainment. Each hole of the pristine
golf course was carefully planned by Rogers, with water features
and aesthetics such as a bridge inspired by the famous bridges at
the Augusta National Golf Club.
Lush landscaping surrounds the property with colorful gardens
and peaceful nature trails. "I have so many fond memories at
Beaver Dam Farms," said Rogers. "I still dream about
playing golf on its course two to three times a week."
The famed estate brought great joy to Rogers and was a personal
symbol of his success. "I was raised in the projects in
Houston, Texas, and I always had
this dream of doing something spectacular," he said. "I remember
when I was young, I would walk through the wealthy part of town on
my way to school and saw the automated sprinklers and thought, 'one
day I'm going to have those.' So, when I built the golf course, I
would go out and sit on the golf cart and watch the sprinklers. To
me, it was a sign that I had achieved my dreams."
"In my 33 years in the real estate business I have had the
pleasure of touring many beautiful properties, but Beaver Dam
Farms took my breath away," said Todd Good, CEO, Accelerated Marketing Group, the
company marketing the auction.
Why an Auction? The current owners live on the other side
of the country and felt their inability to utilize the country
estate on a more routine basis was depleting from the beauty of the
property and it was just time to let it go. To that end, the
ownership has stated the property will be sold to the highest
bidder at or above $3,500,000 fully
furnished. The estimated replacement cost of the property has been
estimated between $30 million and $40
million. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said
Good. "Beaver Dam Farms is rich in history and
uniqueness, and someone is going to get a steal July 9 at the auction."
Qualified buyers may schedule an appointment to tour the
property each Saturday and Sunday from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning June
4 until the auction date.
