If you're in the market for a completely furnished mansion overlooking one of the area's most prestigious golf courses and complete with an Enron-style boardroom, then this compound is for you. The manse at 15 Grand Regency Circle in The Woodlands is now listed at a cool $14 million.
The 17,000-square-foot estate is known as The Wing Mansion, named after its last owner John Wing, who managed the former Teesside Power Station in England, one of many profitable deals he handled for Enron during his time with the infamous company from the early 1980s to 1991.
