Tiger Woods House

Tiger Woods, and his then-wife Elin Nordegren, purchased the Jupiter Island property near the end of 2005, paying a reported $40 million for the 12-acre grounds and the 9,000-square-foot-plus beachfront home that stood on the property.

And then they tore the existing house down. While remaining in their Isleworth house in Windermere, the Woodses tore down the Jupiter Island house in order to build a new home and reshape the property.

The Woods' relationship ended in divorce in 2010, which happened to be the same year that the remaking of the Jupiter Island house was finally complete. The result can be seen in the photo: The house sits back a bit from Intracoastal Waterway, with much of the "yard" given over to a golf practice area, and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side.

Florida luxury realtor and golf property expert Cary Lichtenstein, in the blog on JeffRealty.com, wrote of Tiger's practice area:

"It appears he has one tee box in the southeast east corner to hit drivers. The entire area just west of the lap pool can be used to hit long, medium and short irons into any of the 4 greens. Each green is guarded by a single trap, except the green in the northwest corner which appears to have 3 pot bunkers.

"Tiger has enough open space to practice his short game from any angle, any wind condition, which really appears what this practice area is all about."
