WATCH: Inside look at Lincoln Riley's $17 million Los Angeles estate

When Lincoln Riley moved from Norman, Oklahoma to Los Angeles, California, he listed his two houses in Norman — one of which has already sold, and the other is still seeking a buyer in the $1.9 million range — only to buy an estate in Los Angeles.

Riley arrived at USC in style, buying a $17.2 million home, fit with 3.17 acres and settled on the oceanfront in Los Angeles’ Palos Verdes Estates.

The house is not only breathtaking, but it also holds significant historical context. Originally listed at $19.6 million (Riley reportedly bought it for $2.4 million below asking price), the seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 13,000-square foot house was once home to Palos Verdes Estates’ first mayor, Fred Roessler. As such, the house is known as the “Roessler Estate.” After undergoing three years worth of renovations, it came out the other end even nicer than before:

“Even today, it’s a very magical kind of community, with no real commerce, no streetlights or stop signs, and more than 25 per cent of its area dedicated to parkland or open space. Most of that was down to Fred Roessler,” Chris Adlam, listing agent with Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, said of Riley’s new home, via Robb Report.

Lincoln Riley leaves Oklahoma

It remains evident Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and many others in the state are bitter regarding Lincoln Riley’s departure for USC. In his State of the State address earlier this year, Stitt took a shot at Riley bolting for the Trojans.

“Can you imagine leaving a place like Norman, Oklahoma for a place like Southern California?” stated Stitt, per Reese Gorman of the Norman Transcript.

Many might agree with Riley’s preference of Southern California over Norman, but Stitt is not one of those people. While the Governor of Oklahoma appreciates the job Riley did over the last couple seasons, seeing him leave for USC is something the state will hold against him.

Lincoln Riley owned two homes in Oklahoma prior to the move, including a new property which his family had just built. According to Dirt, at least one of those properties is available for the comparatively low price of $2 million now.

What happens to those properties remains to be seen after Riley and his family got a discount worth more than the sale. Perhaps one of the new Oklahoma residents near Norman will find a use.

At the least Stitt and others in the state of Oklahoma can take pride in Brent Venables returning to Norman to lead the program he has so much respect for. With Venables at the helm and plenty of talent on the Sooners, the program is in good hands regardless with new coordinators in place.
