Golf legend Greg Norman is planning to permanently pull up roots in the United States and head for his native home of Australia after finding a buyer for his $40 million Colorado ranch.
The Great White Shark of pro golf and his wife, Kirsten ‘Kiki’ Kutner, expect to finalize the sale in the coming weeks, the New York Post reported.
The news comes a month after the golfer and entrepreneur found a buyer for his $60 million compound in Jupiter Island, Florida.
Norman, 66, purchased the Meeker, Colorado, ranch property in 2004 for $9.5 million, resulting in a hefty profit from the upcoming sale.
The 11,900-acre estate, known as Seven Lakes Ranch, has been on and off the market for years and was listed in 2016 at an asking price of $55 million, Forbes reported.

Not long ago, I was on the phone with my parents and the sounds of the bird life in the background was something else,’ the golfing great wrote
‘Mr. Norman strategically assembled several ranches into one and has been an exceptional steward of the property,’ said Brian Smith, director at real estate brokerage firm Hall and Hall, which represented the property.
