Tennis Legend Thomas Muster Puts Styrian Villa on the Market for €7.9 Million
Graz, Styria – Former world number one tennis player Thomas Muster has announced the sale of his long-held villa in Graz-Eggenberg, Styria, for a listed price of €7.9 million. The announcement came during an interview with KURIER at the Erste Bank Open two weeks ago, signaling a significant shift for the Austrian sporting icon.
Muster, known for his fierce competitiveness and clay-court prowess, addressed potential speculation with characteristic candor. “Now people will say again, ‘The model needs money’. But I don’t care,” he reportedly smiled. The decision to sell, however, appears rooted in a change in Muster’s lifestyle and geographic preferences.
the property, currently listed with Herzog Immobilien, boasts a significant 5,000 square meter plot and a spacious residence featuring nine rooms, including a unique living wine cellar complete with a winter garden. Beyond the main house, the estate includes a pool house and a separate guest apartment, offering ample space for family and visitors.
For car enthusiasts, the property provides extensive parking options: five spaces within two heated garages and an additional eight outdoor parking spaces. The forecourt is also equipped with heating,ensuring a snow and ice-free access point year-round,according to the real estate listing.
The sale coincides with a broader change in Muster’s routine. He now spends winters at the Riesneralm ski resort and summers at Lake Wörthersee, leading to infrequent use of the Graz property. Furthermore,Muster has significantly reduced his on-court activity,citing difficulty finding a suitable playing partner and the logistical challenges of reaching a tennis hall from his current base at the Riesneralm – a 45-minute journey.
To maintain his fitness, Muster has embraced a rigorous running regimen, consistently logging 50 to 60 kilometers per week on a treadmill. This shift reflects a new chapter in the life of the tennis legend, one increasingly focused on personal pursuits outside of professional competition.
