OLYMPIC hero Michael Phelps has splashed a whopping £1.9 million on a luxury mansion.
The 31-year-old American swimmer’s stunning Arizona pad comes complete - of course - with an enormous, resort-style pool.
The swanky pool area, which boasts views of Camelback Mountain, also features an outdoor living space and a hot tub.
The 6,010-square-foot Scottsdale home also features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms and four fireplaces.
European stone and imported hardwood flooring create a stylish atmosphere, alongside custom lighting and top-of-the-range appliances.
The patio is handset with imported Concha Stone quarried from an ancient seabed and is finished off with lush landscaping that includes fruit trees.
Michael purchased the lush villa late last year, according to .
The 2015 home is the mastermind of Henry Mohrschladt, the award-winning builder of world-class sailboats and yachts, and Craig Banner of American Tradition Builders.
Michael and his fiancé Nicole Johnson moved into the private residence, located in the ritzy suburb of Paradise Valley two days before the New Year.
At the time, the couple was expecting their son Boomer, who was born in May.
