It seems that the Gulf legend, Norman Norman, is definitely leaving the United States and returning to his old lands in Australia.
Known as the Great White Bay of Professional Gulf, Norman and his wife, Kiki, have found a buyer for their $ 40 million Colorado farm, according to The Post.
Sources say the sale is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, just a month after the entrepreneur and golfer found a $ 60 million buyer for his Florida complex, which he built from scratch.
And Norman, 66, will make a considerable profit from the sale. He bought the Meeker, Colorado farm in 2004 for $ 9.5 million.
The station contacted its representatives for comments.
Norman put the house on the market for $ 55 million in 2016, but dropped the price significantly – by $ 15 million. However, this leaves him with a profit of $ 30 million.
Set on a massive 11,900-acre lot, the lodge consists of eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
It has been described as “one of the best hunting trophies and fishing farms in Colorado.”
Named “Seven Lakes Ranch”, the property is used as a sports paradise.
The house is located in the coveted White River Valley in the Flat Tops Mountains and has panoramic views of nature and wildlife.
In addition to the 13,907-square-foot cottage, a variety of cabins and a ballroom / dance hall offer accommodation for many guests.
On March 14, his 52-year-old wife posted about the disappearance of their Florida home.
“Our beloved Shark Shack. Boy, we’re going to miss him. I hope to recreate it sometime in Oz! 🇦🇺 Designed with ❤️ by #theNormanDesignGroup ”, she wrote in the caption.
In a January issue of 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 on the phone with my parents and the sounds of birds in the background were different.
“And the smell of Australia … is so clean and fresh. I like coffee and I miss people; they’re so easy … I want to go back to Australia as soon as I can. To tell you the truth, I’m thinking of coming home every other day. ”
In 2019, he told the Daily Telegraph that he is looking for the Down Under property.
“It simply came to our notice then. I’d rather not say where we’re looking and no, I didn’t buy anything. ”
Norman spent 331 weeks as a No. 1 golfer in the 1980s and 1990s. He won 89 professional tournaments, including 20 PGA Tour tournaments and two major competitions: the 1986 and 1993 Open Championships.
The move to sell both properties in the US followed its battle with COVID-19 in December.
“I’m fit and strong and I have a high tolerance for pain, but this virus has given me misfortune like none of what I’ve experienced so far,” Norman wrote on Instagram.
