The mansion was built in 2002 and has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Wayne Gretzky, a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and former head coach, owns the mansion.

Gretzky eventually sold the Thousand Oaks (California) mansion to former Major League Baseball player Lenny Dykstra for $13.5 million. After Lenny filed for bankruptcy in 2009, Gretzky acquired back the property for $5 million less, with the home passing to new owners, Eric and Joanna Miller.
