Do not be deceived by a description of J.J. Watt’s house in Texas as a cabin, for it is not the typical cabin that first comes to anyone’s mind. It refers to the $800k log cabin, a ‘no-frills’ location, despite the elevator and 4500 square feet of space. He says he likes to train there, because being out in the middle of nowhere with no distractions creates an optimal environment, that helps him focus on his goals.
Although it’s described as a minimalistic cabin, its value is only a tad lower than other NFL athletes’ mansions or prime condominiums. It must be the best cabin you’ll ever find, with the best amenities, and he’s even planning on building a gym in the barn.
