Wahlberg's Home Listed For $87.5 Million With "Five-Hole Golf Course"
/It’s more like an elaborate practice area made of artificial turf, but it’s nonetheless worth a look if you’re in th market.
Jack Fleming of the L.A. Times with the details.
Wahlberg, who’s starring in the biographical drama “Father Stu,” bought the property for $8.25 million in 2009 and commissioned mega-mansion architect Richard Landry to build the home. Landry finished it five years later, fitting 12 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms and a myriad of lavish living spaces into the two-story floor plan.
Terraces line the second story, overlooking a park-like backyard with gardens, lawns, a grotto-style swimming pool, skate park and five-hole golf course with sand traps. Wahlberg, a Massachusetts native, also added a basketball court emblazoned with the Boston Celtics logo.
I’d say it’s a far cry from the great backyard golf courses of Hollywood elites, with Harold Lloyd, Jack Warner and maybe Bob Hope all able to make the case for the best.
