Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois continues to amaze not only with his saves but also with the scale of his real-estate projects. Having moved to Spain’s capital five years ago, the Real Madrid shot-stopper invested in substantial suburban property, yet he has now decided to upgrade to an even more ambitious living space.
Luxury Villa in Las Lomas — Story of a Finished Match
The sold 875 m² house stood in the prestigious Las Lomas neighborhood of the Boadilla-del-Monte municipality. The three-storey villa, with seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a swimming pool, held its ground confidently on a 2 500 m² plot. The deal, valued by the Spanish outlet El Confidencial at around €4.5 million, was wrapped up quickly: the “contract” was signed by another elite-level athlete. Yet the Belgian and his family will remain in the house until October — extra-time, so to speak, while construction of their new base is completed.
Next-Generation Eco-Residence — The Star Transfer of the Off-Season
Courtois’s next “arena” will outshine the previous one in every respect. The future mansion, covering 6 000 m², will rise on a generous 1.5-hectare plot. According to Forbes, the architects are betting on minimalism: panoramic windows, wide terraces, and three functional levels. A semi-covered basement flows seamlessly into an underground garage designed to host the Belgian’s supercar collection — a sort of “substitutes’ bench” for four-wheeled stars.
Engineering Tactics: Solar Panels and Geothermal Energy
The project aligns perfectly with the club’s modern “green strategy”: the building will be equipped with solar panels and a geothermal heating and cooling system. A private forest will grow on the grounds, and together with several pools will create a microclimate reminiscent of the training base in Valdebebas.
Personal Comfort as Part of the Playing Kit
By expanding his living space almost sevenfold, Courtois shows how crucial flawless domestic organization is for on-field focus. The new home will become a reliable last line of defense where Los Blancos’ first-choice keeper can recharge after demanding La Liga and Champions League fixtures — much like he protects the Santiago Bernabéu net from seemingly inevitable goals.
