Indicted Sonoma real estate mogul Ken Mattson to vacate his luxury Sonoma estate as part of bankruptcy
May 24, 2026 - 04:38
Mattson faces federal fraud charges related to a sprawling real estate scheme. Prosecutors allege he misled investors in a series of high-end development projects, funneling millions into personal accounts. The bankruptcy filing, which listed assets and debts in the hundreds of millions, forced the sale or surrender of several properties. The Sonoma estate, once a symbol of his success, is now a key asset being liquidated to satisfy creditors.
The June 15 deadline gives the couple roughly six weeks to relocate. Court documents indicate the property will be transferred to a court-appointed trustee for sale. Neighbors in the exclusive enclave have watched the saga unfold with a mix of disbelief and caution. Mattson's legal team has not commented on the eviction order, but the case continues to draw attention as one of the region's most dramatic real estate collapses. For now, the Mattsons must pack up a life built on borrowed time and questionable deals.
