Meet Tiger Woods's new neighbor -- Tiger Woods
In 2005, Woods paid $38 million for a 10-acre Jupiter Island, Fla., compound that stretches from the Atlantic to the Intracoastal Waterway. But it seems this waterfront fortress, which already includes four homes, two docks for his yacht, a golf hole, plus basketball and tennis courts, wasn't big enough. In late August, Woods paid $6.5 million for a two-bedroom, four-bath home on an oceanfront parcel next door. The new purchase squares off his total property, creating about 12 acres of prime oceanfront land. Word is Woods intends to tear down the house on his new 1.7-acre property so he can start from scratch.
Wanna be his neighbor?
If you're shopping for digs along this 17-milelong island village — which Perry Como, Celine Dion, Greg Norman and Burt Reynolds have at one point called home — there's currently a 9,617-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bath home available at the bargain price of $15.9 million. Condos are available starting at about $500,000.
