Golf great Greg Norman’s Florida mansion gets facelift to ready for sale

From the South Florida Web site: When golf great Greg Norman decided that the sale of his Jupiter Island estate had hit an iceberg and was sinking at the asking price of $47.5 million, he did more than rearrange the palm trees in his front yard. The “Great White Shark” hired contractors, filed the necessary legal work for massive renovations and hiked the price of his Jupiter Island spread to $60 million. Apparently, Norman is trying a new pricing strategy for his eight-acre seaside hacienda, listed in 2007 for $65 million. It languished unsold on the market for almost a year, even after a drastic 27 percent price cut of $17.5 million to $47.5 million. If Norman gets anywhere near his asking price, he will outdrive the record price for a property on the island: the $44.5 million that neighbor and golf superstar Tiger Woods set in 2006 when he bought 12 acres and began building a family compound.
