A Sonoma County developer and his wife have been formally evicted from their multi-million dollar hillside property as part of an ongoing fraud case. Ken and Stacy Mattson must vacate the 50-acre estate in Sonoma Hills by June 15, according to a court-approved agreement.

The property, valued at approximately $6 million, was at the center of legal proceedings that led to the eviction order. The Mattsons had been fighting to remain on the land, but the court's decision now forces them to leave within a specific timeframe.

Details of the fraud case remain under seal, but sources indicate the allegations involve financial misconduct tied to development projects in the region. The Mattsons have not publicly commented on the eviction or the underlying charges.

The estate, known for its sweeping views and prime location in wine country, will likely be sold to satisfy creditors. Local real estate agents expect strong interest given the scarcity of large parcels in the area. The eviction marks a dramatic fall for the couple, who were once prominent figures in Sonoma's development community.
