Mansions in the US have been left untouched and undesirable, including Kanye West’s unfinished Malibu home and Michael Jordan’s 56,000 square-foot custom pad in Illinois. 

Another massive home on a remote island in Montana, and a ‘zombie mansion’ near Portland, Oregon have also sat vacant for years. 

The properties have struggled to sell because they have been left unfinished and lack basic necessities like electricity and water. 

The customization on Jordan’s home has made it extremely difficult to find a buyer who is willing to shell out cash to erase his style and adoration of basketball. 

Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband just recently dropped the asking price to $39million for the space that comes without both water and electricity

West, 46, originally bought his 4,000 square-foot Malibu pad in 2021 and started to gut the space, but never completed the project. 

He listed his concrete Malibu beach home in December for $53million after he failed to remodel it into a ‘bomb shelter.’ 

Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband just recently dropped the asking price to $39million for the space that comes without both water and electricity. 

His renovations have also left the home without windows or electricity because he had plans to turn it into ‘a bomb shelter from the 1910s,’ TMZ reported. 

The rapper found himself entangled in a lawsuit after the former manager of the remodel project, Tony Saxon, sued the artist for allegedly firing him after he ‘expressed concerns about the extreme danger’ of the renovations. 

West is working with Selling Sunset star realtor, Jason Oppenheim, 47,  to sell the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home.

‘It will take several million dollars for the house to be finished,’ Oppenheim told the Wall Street Journal.

Michael Jordan has been trying to sell his Highland Park, Illinois compound since February 2012. (pictured: his customized front gate with his iconic jersey number ’23’ on it) 

Jordan, 61, has been trying to sell his personalized nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom, since he put it on the market in February 2012. 

For more than a decade, the Highland Park, Illinois compound has gone through drastic price drops, as it was first listed for $29million, and is now being sold for $14.9million. 

The closest he came to selling it was at an auction in November 2013, but nobody was prepared to bid the $13million minimum. 

The basketball legend stamped the home with his iconic jersey number ’23’ on his private front gate, and on a full-sized basketball court. 

In addition to the array of rooms and bathrooms, the house comes with a putting green, cigar lounge, and giant outdoor space that sits on 7.39 acres. 

In 2019, Bruce Bowers of Bowers Realty Group told Business Insider: ‘It’s clearly his home. It’s a tough sell. There’s a lot of work that would have to be done to make it your own.’ 

The NBA star owns a total of five homes, including one in Jupiter, Florida that he recently bought for $16.5million

His three other multi-million dollar homes include two in North Carolina and one in Utah that is also up for sale. 

A sprawling mansion in Flathead Lake, Montana has also struggled to sell. 

The 45,000 square-foot mansion, situated on Cromwell Island, was started in the late 1990s, but was never completed. 

The massive home sits on 350 acres, including three miles of shoreline. According to the listing, the original owner was Robert M. Lee, the founder of Hunting World- a sporting and hunting gear international company. 

Lee purchased the land in the 1980s and planned to build the home for him and his wife, but after he died in 2016, the building was stalled.

Anne Brockinton Lee, his widow, told the Wall Street Journal that the couple stayed at their home in Lake Tahoe full time. 

Anne said that she has thought about finishing the Montana home, but it brings back sad feelings and memories about her late husband. 

The home is currently on the market for $72million. 

A graffiti-filled, boarded up 9,052 square-foot home in Tigard, Oregon, known as the ‘zombie mansion’  has also made the list. 

Located about 10 miles outside of Portland, the seven-bedroom house has not been lived in since it was abandoned in 2008. 

Construction began on the home in 2006 but the project was never completed.

According to the listing, which shows reimagined photos of the neglected property,  the home sits on a 1.5 acre lot. 

The home does not come with water, heating or electricity, and squatters frequently live in the space, according to The Oregonian.

The property is currently on the market for $1.5million as the listing agent, Eric Squire, said that the price was ‘gusty.’ 

‘There is truly value here. The bones are good, and when it’s built out, it will be a $3 to $6 million property,’ Squire told The Oregonian.
