Greg Norman is heading back Down Under after selling his Florida home and Colorado ranch for more than $100m.
The 11,900 acre estate, known as Seven Lakes Ranch, is in the White River valley of the Flat Tops Mountains, boasting panoramic views of nature and wildlife.
The Norman compound in Florida has seven buildings including a main house, coach house, pool house, tennis house, boat house, carriage house and beach house known as the Shark Shack.
Norman explained 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 the bird life in the background was something else ‘.
‘And the smell of Australia … it’s so clean and fresh,’ Norman wrote. ‘I love the coffee and I miss the people; they’re so easy going …
‘I want to get back to Australia as soon as I can. To tell you the truth, I think about coming home every second day.’
Norman spent 331 weeks as the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer in the 1980s and 1990s. He has won 89 professional tournaments, including 20 PGA Tour tournaments and two majors: the Open Championships in 1986 and 1993.
