"We walked in, and he said, 'This is it,' said agent Brown recalled. The basketball great was moved to say something that had not been voiced in the couple's vacation-home hunt when he saw the mesmerizing sight of sunlight on the saltwater from almost every window, with views of Catalina Island, the coastline or the ocean."
"He's a very busy man. He's still involved with the Lakers and has a Starbucks and other businesses. The former basketball star became part owner of the L.A. Lakers in 1994, the same year he became head coach, and was one of the top players in the NBA for close to a decade."
Magic Johnson and his wife Cookie bought a $7.6 million vacation home in Dana Point, Orange County, after a year-long search. The newly built Mediterranean-style home sits in a gated community with private beach access between a cove and a five-star hotel. The 7,700-square-foot property includes five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a wine cellar, home theater, elevator, and pool. Nearly every window offers views of Catalina Island, the coastline, or ocean. Johnson immediately decided on the property upon viewing it. Despite his busy schedule managing Lakers ownership, coaching involvement, Starbucks operations, and other business ventures, the couple secured their Southern California retreat.
