I’m in no place to piss on someone else’s success and I admit I’ll never have a house worth that much, but that property seems kind of meh for a guy making $8M a year. Basically looks like a spec house. I’m sure location has a lot to do with the price and maybe the nomadic nature of coaching means you don’t want anything “unique” when it comes time for moving. But with Cal’s money and security you’d think he’d build whatever he or his wife wants.

The houses on the outskirts of Lexington out in the horse farm areas are absolutely insane. Cal just wanted to live in town he said when he bought it.

Ellen is a pretty laid back chick, so I could see her not wanting anything crazy extravagant. As others have said, it's in a nice area.
The house they bought in Nashville that most believe is where he'll retire (one of his daughters is a research doctor at Vandy) is even smaller than the one in Lexington. I want to say they only paid around 2 million for that one and it's pretty low key as well.

The amount of expensive homes that are basically just oversized spec houses that look like a decent architect or interior designer were never hired always surprises me.
