Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis aims for $14.95 million outside Orlando [Los Angeles Times]
You won’t find many homes like Joe Lewis’ place in Florida. Spanning six acres in the Orlando suburb of Windermere, the dramatic manor is inspired by the billionaire businessman’s native country of England, and it just surfaced for sale at $14.95 million.
Lewis, who owns the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, assembled the compound in the ’80s. It’s inspired by Binfield Manor, a 1700s estate in Berkshire, England.
The Georgian-style mansion feels fit for royalty, spanning 17,000 square feet on a private peninsula overlooking Lake Bessie between the seventh and eighth holes of the famous Isleworth golf course.
