Construction was completed in 1996. The five bedroom residence boasted a gym, a tanning room, a wet bar, a hot tub, a guesthouse, a swimming pool with waterfalls, and two docks along the Intracoastal Waterway. The estate was featured on his reality show 'Hogan Knows Best', which aired on VH1 from 2005 and 2007. Hogan and Linda listed the luxurious home in 2006 for an eye-opening $US26 million ($A39 million).
