Anyone here from Wellton, AZ? I am just filled with curious - about an abandoned mansion outside of Wellton, it is beautiful even in its vandalized state - I am wondering why it is not used. Thanks

I have been to that mansion, amazing place even though it has been degraded so badly... I know my father knows who owns it, same people that own a Museum in Phoenix... I will ask him and get back to you!

The name of it is "The Heard Mansion", the story goes that supposedly that a wealthy farming family(The Heards') moved in from Texas around the 1970's. They build that mansion and lived there happily for a couple of years. The reason it was lef talone was that there was a fire in the basement, and other family conflict. Also I was told that they left a caretaker to take care of their grand home. The caretaker had a party with some friends, and they tooked and broke stuff. And are they going to anything to fix the home? I believe not, since to fix will take thousands or millions of dollars to fix this once magestic home.

Thank you so much for the information about the Heard Mansion, now we know the rest of the story. What a shame because that place was over the top beautiful in its day.

I loved this house! My husband and I went down there today so I could show him since he didn't believe me, and it's gone! The only thing left is the shed upfront and the fence that was around it! I'm so sad I loved that house! Does anyone by chance have any pictures of it? I was young when I first seen it like 16 or so and went a few times but haven't gone in probably 6 years or so. If anyone has any pictures please email them to me I would love to show my husband my email is Justine.araaga@gmail.com
