Joe Rogan Snags $14.4 Million Lake Austin Mansion
After losing his Tennessee bid for U.S. Congress, Texan icon Davy Crockett famously declared, “You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas.” That was ancient history, way back in 1835, of course. But today, it appears that Joe Rogan — arguably the celebrity closest to embodying a modern-day Crockett ethos — is following the King of the Wild Frontier’s footsteps. The superstar podcaster recently shelled out $14.4 million in an off-market deal for a sublime lakefront piece of residential real estate in Austin, one of the biggest transactions in area history.
For years now, Rogan has been publicly mulling over moving his family and “The Joe Rogan Experience” to Texas. About a month ago, he announced to millions that he had finally done the deed — an impromptu surprise move that coincided with him signing a record-busting $100 million exclusive contract with Spotify.
Rogan’s new country home measures in at a Texas-sixed 10,890 square feet with eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The property is located on a particularly desirable spot along Lake Austin, in a quiet neighborhood far from the hubbub of the city’s center, but not too far from downtown to be an inconvenient drive. Some of the neighboring homes are owned by the likes of haircare billionaire John Paul DeJoria and Sandra Bullock.
Since the keys for the sprawling estate were exchanged in a very hush-hush, off-market deal, details are mostly vague, though tax records and other online resources paint a decent picture of the property. Several years ago, the stately main structure sported a distinctly early-2000s faux-Mediterranean flare that was popular amongst the well-heeled suburban Hill Country crowds back in the day. However, the property’s previous owners — architectural designer Benjamin Wood and his philanthropic wife Theresa Castellano-Wood — recently gave the whole place an extensive makeover and it now boasts a much sleeker, Texas-inspired modern farmhouse look with just a dash of Mediterranean influence still shining through.
