Mark Wattles had grand plans for a singular 32-acre property along the banks of the Willamette River in West Linn.
The founder of Hollywood Video had bought the property in his early 30s for $1.25 million in 1994, and by 1997, construction was underway on Wattles' dream home, a sprawling, 50,000-square-foot mansion with three stories, underground parking for his car collection, a full-court gymnasium, an indoor swimming pool, an elevator and more.
