A Connecticut neighborhood was shocked when a million-dollar house popped up on land that sat empty for decades. But the bigger surprise was for the man who owns that land — because he had no idea a house was even being built
It's a tale of two property owners: A developer who paid $350,000 for the land in Oct. 2023 and was building a four-bedroom home, which was set to sell for just under $1.5 million. And then there's the man who says he’s owned the property on Sky Top Terrace in Fairfield for decades, and never sold it to a developer or anyone at all.
In a lawsuit filed in July, Daniel Kenigsberg — who lives on Long Island — says he owns the property and claims a fraudulent deed was given to a lawyer who had power of attorney for a Daniel Kenigsberg of South Africa. The lawsuit states that the true owner has never lived in South Africa.Get Tri-state area news and weather forecasts to your inbox."Kids used to love to walk by and hang out. For them it was a little forest," said neighbor Bob Bove.
The Fairfield Police Department told NBC New York that their detective bureau is actively investigating how the mix-up may have happened. Construction has since been halted, while the building site draws curious onlookers."People just keep driving by. They wanna see what’s going on. Take a look at the house. And it just causes traffic," said Adriana Bove."
