Golf legend Greg Norman seems to be leaving the United States permanently and returning to his old Australian pitch.
Norman and his wife, Kiki, known as the Great White Shark of pro golf, have found a buyer for their $ 40 million Colorado farm, The Post reports.
According to sources, the sale is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, just a month after the entrepreneur and golfer found a buyer for his $ 60 million Florida complex he built from the ground up.
And the 66-year-old Norman earns a hefty profit from the sale. He bought the Meeker, Colorado, in 2004 for $ 9.5 million.
The Post issued its representatives for comment.
Norman put the house on the market for $ 55 million in 2016, but dropped the price significantly – by $ 15 million. Yet it leaves him with an almighty $ 30 million profit.
The lodge is on a large piece of land of 11,900 hectares and consists of eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
It is described as ‘one of the best trophy hunting and fishing farms in Colorado’.
The property, called the “Seven Lakes Ranch”, is used as a sports paradise.
The house is in the popular White River Valley of the Flat Tops Mountains and has a panoramic view of nature and wildlife.
In addition to the lodge of 13907 square meters, it offers a variety of cabins and a salon / dance hall accommodation for many guests.
On March 14, his 52-year-old wife posted about the disappearance of their longtime home in Florida.
‘Our beloved Shark Shack. Boy will we miss it. Hope to recreate it again in Oz soon! Designed with ❤️ by #theNormanDesignGroup, ”she wrote in the caption.
In a January column for Stellar magazine, Norman explained how he was ready to return to his home state of Queensland, Australia.
“I miss Australia. I miss the way it sounds. Not long ago I was telephoning with my parents and the sounds of bird life in the background were something else.
‘And the smell of Australia … it’s so clean and fresh. I like the coffee and I miss the people; they are so comfortable … I want to return to Australia as soon as possible. To tell you the truth, I think about coming home every other day. ”
In 2019, he told the Daily Telegraph he was looking for property Down Under.
“Yes, we’re watching. I would prefer not to say where we are looking and no, we did not buy anything. ”
Norman spent 331 weeks as the golfer on the world rankings in the 1980s and 1990s. He won 89 professional tournaments, including 20 PGA tournaments and two majors: the 1986 and 1993 Open Championships.
The move to sell both of its U.S. properties follows its battle with COVID-19 in December.
“I’m fit and strong and have a high tolerance for pain, but this virus kicked me out of the shit like nothing I’ve ever experienced,” Norman wrote on Instagram.
