Luxury Hudson Valley mansion once listed for $45M hits the market for a fraction of the price

A sprawling Hudson Valley estate once touted as a modern engineering marvel has seen its price slashed to a quarter of its original ask.Ledgerock, a 15,000-square-foot mansion perched on the banks of the Hudson River, is back on the market for $11.25 million after failing to sell for three years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
