Football legend Lou Holtz puts home up for sale. Take a look at $4.5M Florida mansion
Lou Holtz, legendary Notre Dame and South Carolina coach, has put his lavish Orlando, Florida, mansion on the market for a cool $4.5 million, the Indianapolis Star reported.
The house, which was famously set ablaze by a lightning strike in 2015, is a 11,000-square-foot-home complete with elegant features like an elevator, cigar room with air purification system, a billiards room and a man cave, the listing by agent Peter Luu with Premier Sotheby’s International Reality reads.
“This luxurious, private estate is located in the golfer’s paradise community of Lake Nona Golf & Country Club and is masterfully designed with uncompromising detail,” the listing says. “Nestled among an 18-hole championship Tom Fazio course, the home underwent a major renovation in 2017 that infused new life and modernization into this tranquil treasure. Six bedrooms, six full and four half baths with 10,773 square feet of living space welcomes you into this beautifully planned home.”

Other features include Holtz’s “Walkway of Fame,” which is a custom spaced packed with memorabilia and awards dedicated to the College Football Hall of Fame coach.
Holtz purchased the land where the property sits in 1997 for $254,000, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“The lush grounds and gorgeous greenery surround this remarkable residence, enhancing a feeling of peacefulness,” the listing says. “Other features include Sonos sound system for TV, whole-home electronic light control panel, and a 3-car garage with golf cart garage. The true one-of-a-kind home will set your spirits high and shouldn’t be missed. A must-see – come appreciate the unsurpassed craftsmanship and custom details this home provides.”
Holtz made history when his 1988 Notre Dame team went 12-0 with a victory in the Fiesta Bowl and was the consensus national champion, the Notre Dame website said. Holtz finished his career with the University of South Carolina from 2004, compiling a career record of 249-132-7.
