Rory McIlroy's - New $9.5 Million Dollar Home

[GolfSpy_X]

 

Rory McIlroy has purchased and closed on a $9.5m contemporary/modern home, 15,286 square feet, directly on the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach Gardens. 2380 Old Gate Lane was completed last year and is located in the very private and tiny gated Old Gate subdivision. At a cost of approximately $7m, the builder made a handsome profit for this speculation home.

 

The architecture of this 6 bedroom home is magnificent, with a center glass core and window views everywhere throughout the house. It's really an updated Frank Lloyd Wright turned modern. Multiple party patios on multiple levels and on opposite sides take advantage of the Intracoastal Waterway and make this home the perfect spot to entertain 100+ guests. While not having Tiger Woods‘ private golf course, a putting green is already in place. The home is on the Intracoastal and will not only let Rory enjoy the fantastic cerulean water views, but also provide a place to dock a private yacht.

 

 

The 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom home, including a private gym, is just a mere mile from The Bear's Club, the most expensive Jupiter real estate development. Rory will most likely join The Bear's Club (where he was also looking to purchase) and Trump National Jupiter Golf Club & Spa. The Bear's Club recently lowered their membership to $90,000 initiation and will take outside members. The Donald purchased the next-door Ritz-Carlton just a month ago, renamed it Trump National Jupiter Golf Club & Spa, and is rumored to be lowering initiation to $50,000. The Trump Club offers more of a social experience, a resort-style pool, and a spa that The Bear's Club does not have. It would be a nice place for girlfriend and tennis star, Caroline Wozniacki, to hang out.

 

 

Rory, heir apparent to Tiger Woods, or perhaps that crown has already been passed with his $14m season's winnings and reported $100m Nike contract. Will Tiger be dumped by Nike? It definitely would not surprise this writer.

 

 

Rory's seemingly effortless swing, reminiscent of the great Bobby Jones, seems unflappable and unstoppable so long as he puts in the long practice sessions day in and day out throughout the season. He's a fearless driver of the ball, often 350 yards, and a smooth-stroking putter. He's a quick player, confident in every aspect of his swing. A true “natural”, clean cut, innocent, Rory is the player the PGA tour needs.

 

 

He leads in earnings on both the PGA and European tours this season, quite a rare feat.

It will probably be the only 15,286 sq ft house in the neighborhood that the only thing in the refrigerator is a open 12 pack and a half of leftover pizza and bottled water.

I wonder if he will fly by Ellis Island in his private jet so he can tell about when he was a "wee lad from Ireland, and came to this country with just the shirt on his back and small check in his pocket from Nike." Of course, all his other clothes had Titleist emblems on it so they were of no use any more.

You'd think $9.5 mill would buy you a little more elbow room. On the plus side, he'll never have to mow his lawn....

Lee Travino mowed his own yard because he wanted to. I am not thinking yard work is high on Rory's to do list. Probably right above cleaning the toilet and waxing the floors.

If I had that kind of money, I would definitely want more room and less house! The backyard golf course, yea!

[GolfSpy WD]

I'll take multiple smaller 5k sq foot homes instead.

[Aotearoa_Brad]

I agree, give me some room to put a few wedge shots onto that green - I guess Rory could probably hit the green (over the house) from the vacant lot next door

I'm not a fan of huge houses like this one, I'd rather spend that money and by a huge amount of land with a decent sized house. Although when Greg Norman was on Feherty and they were showing his house and property, I wouldn't mind that type of set up.

Seriously, I wonder who his neighbour is in such close proximity. And I hope he is planning on buying the lot next to him and turning it into a practice spot or something. What a waste.

Lawn... Where?! Is it the little green patch by a pool surrounded by the house?

[Manbropig]

Nevermind, I just realized that's not even his house... His is the one where I still cant find it

[The Dansome]

You could film a few rap video parties on that patio. Gangsta pad!

[GolfSpy Barbajo]

It's great to be what, 24, with an underwear model/tennis pro for a girlfriend, a house with THREE party decks and a dock for your yacht.

That was my first thought too. Put in a pitching/chipping practice area.

From his house he is less than a 20 minute drive from the Ritz Carlton, the Bear's Club which is 350k initiation and where Michael Jordan has recently and famously build a house, and Seminole which is arguably one of the best courses in the country. Why practice on a small plot of land which you have instant access to those ammenities.
