I'm very curious to know who bought it. Could be one of their local multi-millionaires, and there are several in that area.
Heard of Fastenal? The folks who started it come from there. Very generous with their wealth, such as major donations to Mayo Clinic, land and construction funds for a brand new very large Catholic high school, a fantastic art museum featuring the personal collection of one couple, .... Yes, there's more than enough money to do a fine restoration from those large pockets.
There are other very successful entrepreneurs in the area, and there could be a family connection with the home that would tug on the heart strings and the family purse. I hope the new owners have a great time with this project.
