Rapper Nelly's Deserted 11,000 sq.ft. Mansion in Missouri, Left to Decay for 20 Years 🤯😳. Purchased in 2002, Nelly intended to refurbish this mansion as a gift for his sister Jackie, planning major renovations including a kitchen overhaul, complete bathroom remodels, new flooring, and a revitalized pool area. However, various complications halted the project, leaving the estate abandoned and deteriorating since then. Acquired by a new owner in 2021, the property remains neglected, suffering further damage from trespassers and vandals influenced by TikTok fame. Located in Wildwood, a suburb of St. Louis, the mansion offers scenic views of the Meramec River valley and features a grand Tuscan-style architecture with individual balconies for multiple rooms, a private basketball court, a three-car garage, and ample recreational space.
