The Carolwood Drive property was purchased in 1949 and Walt soon built a barn to house a control room for a train. Outisde the half-mile track also included an overpasses, a 46-foot-long trestle and an s-shaped subterranean tunnel hidden.
The property was sold in 1998 to head of the private investment firm Brener International Group, Gabriel Brener, soon after Lillian Disney’s death. He tore down the building and and rebuilt the mansion.
Some of the artifacts still stand, according to Forbes, including “the 90-foot underground tunnel remains, tucked discreetly among coiffed landscaping. Its entrance is marked by an ivy-covered miniature stone archway with the date “1950″ — the year the railroad began operating — etched on it.”
The Forbes article also contains a photo gallery of the inside the house.
