Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck's Mound vacation home lists for $2.5 million

[BleedGopher]

Per Rohan:

For the past four years, University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck and his family have been enjoying their spare time at a lake house in Mound. Now, they've decamped on the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom retreat with more than 6,000 square feet on Lake Minnetonka.

The Flecks are building a new house to meet all their needs in one place and are consolidating, listing agent Heather Hansen said.

"They're committed to this community and to staying here," she said.

A Cape Cod-style four-story set on a third of an acre on a bluff overlooking Cooks Bay, the house was built in 2006. The house has 50 feet of lakefront. Fleck bought it in 2018 for $1.7 million, immediately launching a top-to-bottom remodel.

"Every surface was touched, giving it a fresh, bright cohesive décor," Hansen said. "It's north-south facing, so it's light-filled with a nautical theme and is beautifully accessorized. The color scheme is blues, whites and soft grays, so it's very beachy, very lake-y."

5bd, 7bath, 6k sqft, on Minnetonka .... yeah it's easy to see how that doesn't meet all the needs.

I guess I could make that work, need to do some work on the kitchen though….

 

[gophernut1]

Where is there new house going to be? Didn't realize the Mound house was a "summer" home.

Good for him. He is doing well, and no doubt uses his home to host gatherings etc., for his players and others.

 

[Schnauzer]

Where are they building?

 

[Gophers1992]

Looks nice but I’m not really looking to downsize.

I thought he had an Edina home at one point.

Maybe that was more personal.

As a kinda private person if I had to entertain I might really like a place ready for entertaining and … another place for just me, family, etc.

 

[mggoph]

Didn't he and Pitino have a home in the same neighborhood in Edina?

For those that are constantly worrying about Fleck jumping ship I would think them building a home would be seen as a very positive sign in regards to his desire to stay in Minnesota.

Where are they building

38th and Chicago prolly…

Go Gophers!!

I for one am super happy to read this. They are here for the long-term folks! Don’t consolidate and build if you aren’t planning on staying.

Heather and Carl Hansen built P.J.'s Edina home. It's really a nice place about a fewblocks from Pitino's place.

He already bought two houses here. This doesn't mean anything more than those.

Otherwise, you would have to believe the following thing is possible.
*Fleck to Notre Dame/Michigan/whomever offering $10-15M per year* "Yeah, you know, I really would like to accept your offer, it seems like the right next step in my career ...... but I just built a house, and it has a really kick-ass master bathroom with heated floors ...."

Thanks for confirming for all of us.

Or freeing up some cash...

I guess 5 bedrooms when there’s 5 kids in the family could be less than ideal for someone with that kind of money.

Here's what I read into this:

If a college coach who is often berated on GopherHole for being way too conservative with his offensive philosophy can be this successful financially, then just imagine what kind of big, big bucks all the GopherHole keyboard coordinators (who always know a better play to call) are worth.

Your time has come, fellas; you need to get paid for your amazing play-calling skills.

wait!what?

Sorry. It went over your head, maybe.

 

[nitramnaed]

He has an Edina home. I see him at Jerry's often. Must be deciding he only needs one and it looks like Lake Minnetonka.

 

[GophersInIowa]

I’d be happy to chip in $50 if we want to purchase a Gopherhole house for our monthly board meetings and yearly retreat.

 

[RememberMurray]

I watched the first P.J. Fleck show of the 2022 season (from the State Fair) today on YouTube. Every time I see him, I am more and more convinced that this guy is the real deal. The team is enthusiastic. The grades are good. The attitudes are positive. The vibe is electric, energetic, upbeat.

I think we got us a winner.

This made me lol, thank you. Kind of true though - I'm sure he does love coaching and living here, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't listen to an offer from a blueblood.

Ah, trip down memory lane. My girlfriend's parents at the time built that house. Spent a lot of time there!

What more could you want? You have Cup Foods within walking distance!

He’s our next DC when Rossi gets his HC gig

Totally agree sir. He can build his power program here, no need to take over some risky pseudo-Blue Blood program and work hard to resurrect it. He is already several years into this rebuild of Minnesota. He is not leaving and I believe he will be the AD in the future. Sometimes you have to take people for their word if they seem like good character people, and trust what they say.

The Lou Holtz deal was an anomaly. Forget about it.
