A massive Webster house authorities tied to narcotics trafficking violations has sold for $1 million, according to a listing for the house.
The 5,373-square-foot home is located at the corner of Lake and Bay roads in Webster, on the southeast corner of the intersection and not far from Lake Ontario.
In 2023, the United States Attorney’s Office filed a verified civil forfeiture complaint against the property, as the “property of value traceable to proceeds furnished in exchange for a controlled substance, as well as property used or intended to be used to facilitate the commission of narcotics trafficking violations,” according to a news release from the office.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, as part of the settlement agreement, the owner of the house forfeited the property to the government, along with other seized assets which together totaled $2,284,003.10. Further details on the case were not released.
According to the listing, the nearly 1-acre property sold in April. The house, built in 2011, has five bedrooms and six bathrooms and two full kitchens, one of which is within the full basement. The house is within the Webster Central School District.
