Construction was completed in 1996. <\/p>\n The five bedroom residence boasted a gym, a tanning room, a wet bar, a hot tub, a guesthouse, a swimming pool with waterfalls, and two docks along the Intracoastal Waterway.<\/p>\n The estate was featured on his reality show \u201cHogan Knows Best\u201d, which aired on VH1 from 2005 and 2007. <\/p>\n Hogan and Linda listed the luxurious home in 2006 for an eye-opening $US26 million ($A39 million). <\/p>\n After multiple price reductions, Hogan offloaded the mansion in 2012 for $US6.2 million ($A9.4 million). <\/p>\n Hogan has passed away at the age of 71 after suffering from cardiac arrest inside his Clearwater, Florida, home.
