Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, Sold Big Bear Lake Home. Any Buyers?

Oscar De La Hoya has just sold his Big Bear Lake property for $2.1 million. Tito Ortiz, a mixed martial arts champ, the Huntington Beach bad boy, bought it. People En Espanol named Tito Ortiz one of the 50 Most Beautiful Hispanic celebrities. Oscar De La Hoya listed the home for $2.5 million. It sits on an acre. It was his retreat. The champion was not using the home much because he lives and trains in Puerto Rico. Oscar designed the one-bedroom, 3,900-square-foot main house and three-bedroom, 3,200-square-foot guest quarters in Big Bear. He bought the land in the 1990s. He did something else. He converted his four-car garage in Big Bear into a gym that was also equipped with a steam room.

The gated property has a putting green and stream with a footbridge. The main house has an indoor spa and waterfall.
