HOBART – One of the most expensive homes in the Green Bay area will be auctioned off to the highest bidder next month.
The French chateau-style property at 4735 Fonda Fields Court has previously been listed for sale for as much as $8.4 million and Zillow currently lists it for sale for $6.9 million. Brown County property records indicate the unfinished home has an assessed value of $1.6 million and a 2019 property tax bill of $29,423.
Elite Auctions will sell the property to the highest bidder in an auction at 11 a.m. Feb. 8 at the property. The chateau is owned by Gary De Caster under the company name Golden Pond Development LLC.
Tara McLean, president of Elite Auctions, said the property features high-quality design and construction that separates it from any other homes in the market. She added that whoever buys it will almost assuredly get a deal as an estimated $12 million has gone into the home so far.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and someone will get an amazing deal on this home,” McLean said. “It’s so fabulous, this home needs to be lived in. It needs a new family in there.”
The auction listing touts an additional perk to purchasing the property. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers would be your neighbor, which it said turns the chateau into “one of Wisconsin’s most desirable areas and a perfect abode for a Green Bay Packers player or an ultimate fan.”
Which is true, to a point. Records indicate Rodgers lives in Hobart, but there are no other homes on Fonda Fields Court, so don’t expect him or Danica Patrick to be stopping over to borrow a cup of sugar.

Elite has scheduled previews of the property for Jan. 18-19, Jan. 25-26 and Feb. 1-2. All preview sessions begin at 1 p.m. and end at 4 p.m. McLean said anyone can show up at the house and walk right in to view it those weekends.
You might want to plan two visits, though, because there’s a lot to see in the massive three-story mansion.
The 22,590-square-foot house includes seven bedrooms, which each have their own bathrooms. The mansion also includes an additional full bathroom, three half bathrooms, a cedar shake roof, copper gutters, an elevator, art gallery, ballroom with 25-foot ceilings, theater, fitness room, wine cellar, lounge, an unfinished sauna and hot tub room, an exterior terrace and two attached garages with space for eight vehicles.
The property also includes a multi-use sport court, wooded areas, a private pond, a salon with a fireplace, a buffet built into the dining room, three islands in the kitchen and a 15-foot-long cooking counter.
