While Tiger Woods may have stolen the show—and the gold—at the 2019
Masters this past weekend, many of us still remember when Australian pro
Greg Norman
was the talk of the green. And the golfing legend has kept busy since
his championship days of yore, especially in the world of luxury homes
and products. In fact, his eponymously named
Greg Norman Company operates over a dozen enterprises, ventures ranging from wakeboarding to Wagyu beef. But when the entrepreneur isn’t busy
building luxury homes in Los Cabos, he’s been known to kick back in his own personal oasis—a 14,000-square-foot
ranch house in Meeker,
Colorado. Now, the golfer is offering up his retreat to another lucky soul; the property has just been relisted for $50 million. Known by the owners as
Seven Lakes Ranch,
the property isn’t just a home; it features 11,600 acres of
mountainside tranquility and trails, all bordered by the White River
National Forest. Originally purchased from businessman Henry Kravis,
Norman had fallen in love with Meeker and its promise of freedom and
seclusion—something that was in short supply during his high-profile

The main lodge comes with eight bedrooms and nine baths, plus two
guest half baths. The first floor boasts 30-foot vaulted ceilings, a
saloon-esque bar, formal dining area, state-of-the-art kitchen and a
movie theater room. An antler chandelier adorns the main entryway, and
stone fireplaces and metallic finishes give the whole space a
Wild-West-meets-taxidermy-chic look.
But
the ranch didn’t always have such a rustic-glam aesthetic. It had
previously been used as a corporate retreat under Kravis, so when Norman
inherited it, the interiors had a dark, heavy, more professional color
palette. Luckily, in addition to meat, eyewear and sports gear, Greg
Norman Company also has a baked-in design arm: Norman Design Group, led by Norman’s wife, Kirsten. After two summers of revamp, the space went from professional respite to sportsman’s paradise...MORE
