Johnny Damon's $30M Estate Up in Orlando for Grabs

Johnny Damon, the former Boston Red Sox outfielder known for his distinctive hair and beard, has listed his Florida home for a cool $30 million. Built in 2010 in the Orlando suburbs, the nine-bedroom lakefront residence comes complete with a surprising feature – a dedicated hair salon.

A Luxurious Lakeside Retreat

Situated in a gated community in Windermere, approximately 10 miles west of downtown Orlando, the expansive 30,000-square-foot property sits on a 4.8-acre lot boasting 540 feet of waterfront along Lake Butler. Purchased in 2007 for $4 million, the Damons spared no expense in creating a home designed for both relaxation and recreation.

Endless Amenities for the Entire Family

The mansion's impressive amenities include a two-lane bowling alley, sports bar, cigar lounge, and arcade. For fitness enthusiasts, there are two gyms, a sauna, and a steam room. Outdoors, multiple sports courts for tennis, basketball, and volleyball provide additional entertainment options. The property also features a saltwater pool with a swim-up Hibachi grill and bar, a grotto with a slide, a zip line, and even a vegetable garden.

Beyond Baseball: Family Life in Style

Johnny Damon emphasized the family-friendly aspects, with a primary suite featuring a coffee station, indoor and outdoor showers, and a two-story closet. The home caters to their six children with a playroom, a separate kids’ dining area, and an outdoor playhouse. A music loft and two karaoke areas reflect the family's musical interests. Three guest apartments accommodate visitors, with one currently housing Johnny's mother.

Moving On from a Baseball-Centric Lifestyle

The decision to sell comes as Johnny Damon, now retired from MLB since 2012, and Michelle's children are older. The house, originally designed around Johnny's baseball career, no longer suits their lifestyle. With a desire to travel more, the couple has decided to part ways with their luxurious abode. While they acknowledge missing the house, the Damons are eager to explore the many possibilities the world has to offer.
