It has only 50 rooms :-( estimated value of the land at about $300,000 an acre. It is believed that the entire 360-acre tract, mansion and all, is worth about $100 million.
How much pocket money do you get weekly ? What if the members of Kate the Great trow everything in a pot - do we get enough togehter Heehee

The matriarch also inspired an Academy-Award-winning movie, "The Philadelphia Story," in 1940. Katharine Hepburn's character, Tracy Lord, is believed to be based on the socialite.

"My grandmother used to make up the fact that it couldn't be subdivided until 21 years after her death, or something like that, just to try to get people to stop asking her," Scott said of the legendary Hope, the basis for Katharine Hepburn's character in The Philadelphia Story.

WAYNE, Pennsylvania: The sprawling estate of the wealthy family that inspired "The Philadelphia Story" is up for sale.
Ardrossan, named after the Montgomery ancestral home in Ayrshire, Scotland, has been a retreat for the privileged for almost a century. Hope Montgomery Scott, the family head for most of that time, was the basis for Katharine Hepburn's character in the 1940 Oscar-winning movie, which also starred Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart.
It was this mansion which they created for The Philadelphia Story - at least that is what our local newspaper says ;D
