It's one of the Illawarra's most recognisable properties, and one that's always popular with Mercury readers.
In recent years it's become a target for vandalism and graffiti, a popular illegal skate park, and a curiousity piece for many.
The dilapidated 'Minnamurra Mansion' in Dunmore remains on the market, albeit now with a significant reduction in the asking price.
The property is a large run-down and unfinished two-storey building.
Having returned to the market earlier this year following a brief hiatus, the owners are now prepared to take a haircut in order to sell the high-profile property.

Meanwhile, the sale of a Kiama property has not only set a new price record for a popular street, but scored the seller a sizeable gain in the process.
'Vue Magnifique' on Pheasant Point Drive sold for $4.8 million earlier this week.
The home previously sold in August 2020 for $2,875,000, meaning the seller has made a gain of $1.925 million in three years.
A Figtree home recognisable due to its "Kermit green" style facade changed hands last week.
However, whether the new owner plans to retain its distinctive colour scheme remains uncertain.
Records show the home sold for $940,000.
According to the selling agent, the new owner is a "first home buyer who lives around the corner with his family".
There has been some hotly contested auction activity throughout the region.
It was a "tense" environment as Illawarra-based bidders fought it out for a Figtree home.
Sitting on 673 square metres, the family home is located in the sought-after Redgum Ridge Estate.
"There were two bidders that really wanted the home, but they also didn't want to do anything reckless," the selling agent told the Mercury.
In other auction news, a first time bidder's strategic approach has resulted in him snapping up a South Coast home.
The home sold for above the reserve price.
