It was bought very recently by someone, who - especially - might be a bit disappointed that he can't become a member of the local Golf club but only play there as a guest. (Although, there's a small course at his new place as well)
No, there's so much water around this place that it's really an island and not in phantasy :wink:
Did O.J. Simpson buy the place?
No, someone else .... with a "club"
Tiger Woods buys $40m beach estate
PALM BEACH, Florida: Tiger Woods, who celebrated his 30th birthday on Friday, has agreed to buy a 10-acre oceanfront estate on Jupiter Island, Florida, for $40 million (BD15m).
Woods, a 10-time major golf champion, led all US athletes with $89.4m (BD33.6m) in endorsements and prize money in 2004 and set a record sale price for a property in what Forbes magazine calls the "Most Expensive ZIP Code."
And Woods is expected to tear down the 13-year-old main house on the estate, according to unnamed real estate agents familiar with the deal who spoke to the Palm Beach Post newspaper.
"It's a really high price and everyone's blown away," Chappy Adams, president of Illustrated Properties in Palm Beach Gardens, told the Post.
"It wouldn't be unusual to tear it all down. If you paid this much for the property, you'd want your own home. He's probably going to redevelop the whole piece." The 400 block of South Beach Road that Woods would own extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the nearby Intracoastal Waterway. It includes a main house, two guest houses and a beach house plus two boat docks.
"The main house is in very good condition, but I'd think that someone who paid that much would want to put their own stamp on it," Jupiter area real estate agent Dolly Peters said. "I'd be surprised if he didn't tear it down."
Woods' 155-foot yacht Privacy, which the golf star now docks in North Palm Beach, could be docked in one of the deep water docks, sources told the newspaper.
One of the people living near the property Woods purchased is famous Canadian singer Celine Dion, who bought a $12.5m (BD4.7m) beachfront home this year.
Got it :wink:
(I just wanted to post this article:
Oh! I thought C.I. had gotten it.
Ok, back in a moment with a place.
Letty, Mine was a 'wild' guess. You had a media article back up yours.
Good show!

Well, Francis, you got the song. <smile> and West Virginia is correct.
