Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky sold stunning Florida mansion with private island, boat dock and golf area for £12m
DUSTIN JOHNSON is aiming for Ryder Cup glory this weekend – but he has already struck it lucky this year.
The American golf star and model partner Paulina Gretzky reportedly sold their Florida mansion for £12million before April’s Masters.
The luxurious 13,000-square-foot home was purchased by the two-time Major winner, 37, in 2015.
Paying £3.65m for the property, he extensively renovated it to turn a very healthy profit on its sale.
According to Insider, the sale to an unnamed buyer was completed in the build-up to the Masters.
Among the mansion’s notable features is a private island, connected via a boardwalk across a short stretch of water in the garden.
The home also boasts its own boat ramp and a saltwater pool reaching ten-feet deep.
Johnson is said to have planned to live in the home having overseen the refurbishment, installing a golf practice area for putting and chipping.

However, a source is quoted by Insider as saying it was ‘not what he wanted in the end’.
Inside, the property contains seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
The master bedroom leads on to a balcony to overlook the pool and private island, and was enlarged in the renovation.
A two-bedroom guest house, four-car garage, and a very impressive kitchen and living room are also featured.
The Palm Beach Gardens property was not Johnson’s only home.
Down the road on North Palm Beach, he also owns a mega six-bedroom mansion.
Florida is certainly the destination of choice for golfers, in particular the exclusive Jupiter Island area.
Johnson and Gretzky previously lived there, until selling up for £5m in 2014.
