The house where deposed Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest for more than a decade was auctioned on Wednesday but failed to attract bidders.

The lakeside villa in the former capital Yangon has been at the center of a dispute over the inheritance between Suu Kyi and her estranged brother Aung San Oo. The property was inherited by her late mother Khin Kyi, who lived in the house for decades after her husband, independence hero General Aung San, was assassinated in 1947.

The court ruled in January that the house must be auctioned off, with the proceeds divided equally between the siblings. The home sits on less than a hectare and is listed for $90 million.

Suu Kyi moved into the house in 1988 after returning from the UK to care for her ailing mother and launch her political career as founder of the pro-democracy National League for Democracy. She was placed under house arrest by the then-junta and remained there for the next 15 years, during which time she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.

After being released from prison in 2010, she hosted many dignitaries at her home, including former US President Barack Obama and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Aung San Suu Kyi left Yangon in 2012 and moved to the military-built capital Naypyitaw, where she served in parliament and eventually led a newly elected civilian government in 2016. In February 2021, the military again took control of Myanmar and imprisoned Aung San Suu Kyi and other civilian leaders of the government.

She was convicted on multiple charges brought against her by the current military government and is serving a 27-year sentence in prison.
