Roger Federer has a fabulous mansion in Switzerland
Roger Federer has a special fondness for his home country of Switzerland, so it makes sense that he would choose to set up his most extravagant house there. Federer’s home is in the Swiss municipality of Wollerau, overlooking Lake Zurich, and according to Sportskeeda, the tennis pro shares the luxurious accommodations with his parents, as well as his wife and children. The publication reports that Federer moved there in 2014 after building it from scratch on 1.5 acres of land. With floor-to-ceiling glass windows and three full floors, the mansion reportedly cost Federer around £6.5 million to build.
In addition to the large mansion that he shares with his family, Federer is reportedly building a brand-new home in nearby Rapperswil-Jona. According to Hello Magazine, Federer originally bought the property in 2018 and has been steadily renovating it ever since — although the pandemic has caused several setbacks to construction. Hello reports that Federer and his family will likely move to their luxurious new home when it is finished. In the meantime, they are still staying in their other mansion, which is right around the corner.
Federer has made other high-powered real estate investments
Roger Federer has several other residences around the world, in addition to his Swiss real estate.

With his latest acquisition in Switzerland, it seems as though Federer isn’t slowing down his real estate hobby anytime soon.
