This massive 40,000 (approximately) square foot estate was brought to our attention by a HOTR reader. It is located at 1800 S 260 W in Orem, UT and features 2 gated entrances, a circular driveway with fountain, motor court, 33,000+ square foot main house, swimming pool, 6,000 square foot entertainment building and double tennis courts. It is owned by Melanie Bastian, the ex-wife of Bruce Bastian, who is a computer programmer, businessman, philanthropist and social activist. Bruce lives in a mansion that is smaller and less grander than his ex-wife’s house, funny huh?
