Want to own the Farmington Tennis Club? The business is up for auction with a starting bid of $750,000.

According to the Farmington Observer, the 72,000-square-foot facility is up for auction June 19 with a $750,000 starting price through CBRE Auction Services. The two-hour online auction runs 1-3 p.m. Central Standard Time or 2-4 p.m. Michigan time (Eastern Daylight Time), the article states.

The Oakland County Treasurer posted a notice announcing the seizure of property at the Farmington Tennis Club, in lieu of back taxes totaling more than $5,500, on May 7.

The owners still owe approximately $126,000 in property taxes on the land and facility, according to Oakland County Treasurer Andrew Meisner, the Farmington Observer states.

No warning of the club's closure was given to either members or staff, according to reports. Former tennis instructor Whitney Wasielewski told WDIV-TV she saw signs of trouble, including a major Easter weekend tournament being cancelled and a request that dues be paid earlier than usual.

Former members can file complaints about dues by calling the state attorney general's office at 517-373-1110.
