The waterfront Florida mansion where wrestling icon Hulk Hogan lived for over a decade and tragically suffered a fatal heart attack is now being prepared for sale with an asking price of $11 million. The property, located on the prestigious Clearwater Beach, comes to market just six months after the legendary wrestler's death, adding a poignant chapter to its history.
A Property Steeped in Wrestling History
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, collapsed at the five-bedroom mansion on the morning of July 24th before later dying in hospital from natural causes. According to a medical examiner's certificate obtained by the Daily Mail, the cause was an acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. The report also noted he had a history of atrial fibrillation and leukemia. Police have confirmed there is no evidence of foul play in the wrestling superstar's passing.
Luxurious Waterfront Living
The 5,400 square foot property represents the epitome of luxury coastal living. Hogan purchased the home back in 2012 for $3.3 million, considering it a downsizing move from his previous 12,000-square-foot estate in Belleair. The mansion boasts five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, with premium finishes throughout that reflect Hogan's larger-than-life personality.
The primary suite alone spans an impressive 1,000 square feet and features a waterfront terrace with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, a spa-style bathroom, and an expansive walk-in closet. Throughout the property, residents will find teak, marble, and natural stone flooring creating an atmosphere of refined elegance.
Premium Features and Amenities
The mansion includes numerous high-end features that justify its multimillion-dollar price tag:
- A designer kitchen equipped with premium appliances
- A private elevator connecting various levels of the property
- 1,500 square feet of outdoor living space
- A heated pool and spa with direct beach views
- A morning bar for casual entertaining
Hogan's Wrestling Legacy
Hogan's sudden death prompted an outpouring of grief throughout the wrestling community and beyond. Widely regarded as perhaps the biggest star in WWE history, he was the main attraction at the first WrestleMania in 1985 and remained a fixture for decades, facing legendary opponents including Andre The Giant, Randy Savage, The Rock, and even WWE co-founder Vince McMahon.
Throughout his illustrious career, Hogan won at least six WWE championships and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005. After being removed in 2015 following controversy over recorded racial slurs for which he apologized, he was reinstated to the Hall of Fame in 2018. His passing marked the end of an era for professional wrestling enthusiasts worldwide.
The listing of his Clearwater Beach home represents not just a premium real estate opportunity but also a tangible connection to one of sports entertainment's most iconic figures. The property's combination of luxury features, waterfront location, and unique history creates a distinctive offering in Florida's competitive luxury market.
