Elderly couple refuses multiple offers to buy their sprawling home next to ... trends now
A family has refused countless offers to buy their modest home set right next to the Masters - even though each would have made them instant millionaires.
The several seven-figure attempts have so far failed to sway the clan of Herman and Elizabeth Thacker, who built the home at 1112 Stanley Road way back in 1959.
In the 65 years since, the Augusta National Golf Club has bought up some 270 acres surrounding their seminal course located in the city of Augusta, Georgia, near the South Carolina border.
But the unassuming three-bedroom home across from Gate 6-A has remained the sole standout - a 1,900-square-foot eyesore for club brass.
In an interview offered just before the tournament's conclusion Sunday, a member of the family proclaimed their steadfastness, seemingly unaffected by the $200 million spent by the club over the years to buy out their neighbors' properties.

'Yes, we still own it, and, yes, mom still lives there,' the couple's daughter, Robin Thacker Rinder, confirmed in an interview to FOX Business Friday.
The family patriarch, Herman, died in 2019 aged 86, she went on to reveal - stating that mom Elizabeth, now 92, is now the sole occupant.
The home, moreover, is only estimated to be worth only $330,000 - but that fails to take into account the one-story property's unrivaled desirability, if you're a golf fan.
It sits on just two-thirds of an acre, a stone's throw away from where the best golfers in the world compete each spring - a vantage seemingly enjoyed by Rinder and co., seen enjoying the tournament over the years in photos posted to social media.
The pictures also show her posing with her parents and other relatives, as she told Fox Business that a rep from Augusta National still visits the property every so often to express interest.
However, she said that she and her mom are still steadfast in their intent not to sell, as the club has reportedly shelled out an additional $40million to repurpose land surrounding the course into a parking lot for its world-famous members and patrons.
Herman previously expressed some similar stubbornness when asked the same question back in 2016, telling NJ.com, 'Money ain't everything.'
