That's right, Noted Chicago gangster Al Capone. And it can be yours for a minimum bid of $2.6 million. Just a bit more than I can afford, but a piece of interesting history nonetheless.
The Hideout, in northern Wisconsin, is 407 secluded acres with a 37 acre lake, a stone lodge, caretaker's house, 8 stall garage and other outbuildings.
It has been advertised in Chicago to drum up interest.
Al Capone owned it in the late 20s and early 30s. Rumor has it that bootleg liquor was flown in with planes landing on the lake where the booze was put on trucks and driven to Chicago. It is known that Capone spent a lot of time there.
