Newly listed, Oscar De La Hoya’s $20M Vegas mansion packs a heavyweight punch of amenities

Just a couple of months after it graced the pages of the Wall Street Journal, Oscar De La Hoya’s Las Vegas-area home popped up on the market as a glam $20 million listing.

The championship boxer’s custom-built pad, a triple-gated mansion in the exclusive Strata community in Henderson, Nevada packs almost 9,000 square feet of living space, 2,409 square feet of outdoor living area, and amenities galore. Not to mention plenty of gold accents that hint at the owner’s illustrious career.

After heavily customizing the one-story modern home, De La Hoya moved in late last year with plans to boost boxing’s popularity in Vegas. 

And while we don’t know how the rest of his plans are going, the boxer now seems ready to part ways with the Las Vegas mansion — nicknamed Casa de Oro or House of Gold — listing it for $20 million with Zar Zanganeh of The Agency Las Vegas.

Home to a boxing great

For those newer to the boxing game, Oscar De La Hoya is an American boxing promoter and former professional boxer who competed professionally from 1992 to 2008.

De La Hoya was nicknamed “The Golden Boy of boxing” by the media when he represented the United States at the 1992 Summer Olympics and won a gold medal in the lightweight division shortly after graduating high school.

During his prolific boxing career, De La Hoya won 11 world titles in six different weight classes, including the lineal championship in three divisions. His long list of accolades cemented his status as one of the most accomplished boxers of his era. However, he has also been a controversial figure at times, with issues like substance abuse and domestic violence allegations surfacing over the years.

Casa de Oro

Oscar De La Hoya’s Las Vegas mansion, nicknamed Casa de Oro or House of Gold, was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal (paywalled article), with the 51-year-old retired boxer giving fans the tour of his sprawling abode alongside his girlfriend, Holly Sonders, and their microminiature French bulldog, Vida. ⁠

After buying the property in 2022 for $14.6 million, De La Hoya spent millions more customizing the modern one-story home over nearly two years before moving in around Thanksgiving 2023.
