Inside Joe Rogan's $14.4 Million Texas Mansion

MMA commentator, podcast host and chimp enthusiast Joe Rogan has moved out of California and into the great state of Texas. Leaving his measly 7,600-square-foot house in the Golden State behind, he picked up a 10,980-square-foot mansion with eight bedrooms in Austin, Texas, for $14.4 million.

That's about four times more expensive than his old home, but Rogan can spare the cash. The podcast king signed an exclusive deal with Spotify in May 2020 worth $100 million — and this move to Austin will save him millions in taxes.

Want to take a look inside his new home? Jamie, pull up those pictures.

A Whole New House

The home, located on Lake Austin, used to be a tired Tuscan-style McMansion built in 2006 and listed for $7.25 million in 2015.

Thanks to designer Benjamin Wood (who also owned the home, according to Variety), the place has been transformed into an Asian-inspired modern mansion.

Entry Hall

What used to be beige plaster walls in the entry have been covered with shiplap.

There is a bunch of antique Eastern furniture, too, which is right up Rogan's alley.

If we didn't know any better, we'd think this house was designed specifically for him.

Leaving California

Rogan has bemoaned the state of California for quite some time, citing its high taxes, its liberal policies, and the overcrowding and homelessness problem in Los Angeles specifically.

He first said he would be moving on his podcast in July 2020. He didn't say where to, but he did allude to living somewhere smaller.

A Smaller Town?

Austin, with its population of 964,000 people, isn't exactly small, but it's smaller than Los Angeles' population of 4 million.

In Austin, Rogan will be spending his time in a neighborhood with a population of about 8,800 people.

The Dining Room

The interior has been redesigned for an open floorplan, with the dining table, living rooms and library all sharing one space.

The walls and ceiling are coated in a deep, designer blue.

The Bar

The bar is made from this awesome, sturdy-looking wood and has been installed into the floor on an elevated platform.

It's unknown if Rogan will replace the cabinet's spirits for a display of designer weed and DMT. He did do DMT three times in one day, after all.

"It f---ked me up for a while," he said. "This was during the 'Fear Factor' days. ... Reality was very slippery. I kept thinking cars were going to fly over the incoming lane, crash into me and kill me."

The Kitchen

The kitchen is a wonderful place to prepare elk meat. It features two kitchen islands with pull-up seating, rustic farmhouse-style light fixtures and recessed lighting.

Mirroring Islands

Interestingly, the kitchen islands mirror one another almost exactly.

The oven is behind the photographer so the cabinets are likely hiding a dishwasher or two and other appliances.

Ahead, a large modern fireplace flanked by antique cabinets crowns the dining room and kitchen.

The Dining Room

The dining room is decorated with a large farmhouse-style table that has two wide rectangles for legs and a set of eye-catching dining chairs.

It's a large table with enough room for Rogan, his wife, Jessica, their three children, and three other podcast guests to sit down for a meal.

Walls of Glass

The back of the home has been remodeled with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass in midcentury modern style.

While the property's four acres won't afford Rogan the amount of space needed to hunt elk, it does have a nice rolling lawn and Lake Austin as a backdrop.

The Living Room

Rogan still owns an 8,270-square-foot home in Bell Canyon, California, which he paid $4.95 million for in 2018.

It's unknown if Rogan will be totally relocating to Texas, but everything he has said indicates that Austin will be his new main place of residence.

He already has relocated his podcast room to this house.

Rustic Features

Rustic wooden pillars and an exposed wooden ceiling give the home its rustic feel that's in touch with its location.

While Rogan has waxed poetic about going somewhere where he can "have a little bit more freedom," he's looking to save around $13 million in tax breaks if he can fully take advantage of the state's zero income tax. California's 13.3 percent income tax would have cost him $13.3 million on a $100 million deal.

He'll enjoy much lower property taxes at 1.9 percent and no HOA fees.

The Sunroom

With the new glassy renovations, the entire living room area in the rear of the house doubles as a sunroom.

The house is extremely expensive for the neighborhood, which has a median listing price of around $1.2 million.

Places to Sit and Trip

One sitting area is divided off from the dining room with a glass window. There are many places to sit and talk about DMT, or take DMT. Or smoke weed.

While Texas' drug laws are more stringent than California's, the likelihood of cops pulling up to raid Rogan's new estate seems quite slim.

The Back Porch

The house lights up like a Christmas tree at night.

But there are no neighbors in the back, just the sweet freedom water from Austin Lake.

Beyond that, there are hills of undeveloped woods.

The Backyard

Even if there were neighbors, they wouldn't be able to see Rogan rant about the dangers of how a chimpanzee revolution would render humanity helpless and armless.

Large concrete walls provide both a foundation for the outdoor deck and privacy for the family.

Woo!

It wouldn't be Rogan's house without a gym.

Rogan had his home gym set up buy Sorinex, an exercise equipment company that produces weights, racks and high-end machines.

The Gym

Rogan's diet and workout routine can be found on YouTube and online.

His workouts are made that much easier by the equipment he can afford to have.

The Podcast Room

Anyone who has been watching Rogan's podcast videos on YouTube will be familiar with this room. It was custom-built for Rogan sometime around April 2020.

We're not sure where on the property the official JRE Studios podcast room is, but in addition to the house, there is a carriage house and two attached garages on the property.

The Mezzanine

The mezzanine overlooking the foyer features two simple chairs and a wooden statue.

This one doesn't look like the Buddha heads and Eastern sculptures throughout the house.

Although it would be right at home with Rogan's decor.

Impulse Buddha

Case in point: This giant Buddha statue from Rogan's collection.

"This is my big one. I’ve never weighed it, but it’s definitely a few hundred pounds," Rogan wrote on his Instagram. "It’s the weirdest impulse purchase I’ve ever made, but I was high as f--- at the time and it reminded me so much of the Buddhas from my psychedelic experience I felt like I had to have it in my life."

The Master Bedroom

When Rogan is done from a long day of debating Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler whether or not a race of subterranean people lived millions of year before us, Rogan can retire in this room.

A large custom-built wooden frame nestles the bed, an unusual architectural detail that is quite striking.

The Master's Entryway

A detail of the master bedroom entryway shows the same shiplap walling used downstairs.

Rogan has lived in California since at least 2003, when he took the reins as cohost of "The Man Show" alongside Dan Stanhope.

The Master Bathroom

Rogan's new bathroom has an elegant freestanding soaking tub and a shower so large it can be mistaken for a wall made out of frosted glass.

Soaking Tub

The freestanding tub is in front of a wall of marble with a decorative geometric backsplash.

Looks like a nice place to rest the muscles after a day of hitting the heavy bag and talking about the finer points of chimp strength.

Bathroom Vanity

The marble-topped vanity has a 1950s vibe going on. It's well-lit, both from the pendant lighting, chandelier and the near-ceiling paneled windows.

Master Porch

Off the master bathroom is this sitting area, outfitted with wicker seating and decorative panels of stained glass.

An Office

This nook has been fashioned into a small office area and is decorated with birdcages and bird wallpaper.

It's not going to be Rogan's main office, but it's small enough for one of his pre-teen children.

Outdoor Dining

The back porch has a full-sized dining table for outdoor eating, outdoor couches and chairs, a birdhouse, and lovely views of the water reservoir that is Lake Austin.

The Party Deck

In addition to the property's two boat slips, there's a party deck.

Rogan is no stranger to fishing — he has gone ice fishing in Utah — and this reservoir has a large population of bass to catch.

The Pool

The in-ground pool and lounge area is shaded by dozens of trees and features a stonework patio with tufts of grass growing between the cracks.

Trough

On the property are two of these water troughs, which, while mostly decorative, can function as a watering hole for dogs.

This is an old listing photo and doesn't feature Rogan's dog, a golden retriever named Marshall Mae, who has his own Instagram.

On the Lake

While the home isn't entirely secluded — he can see his neighbors — the property sits on a double lot with 300 feet of water frontage.

Will Rogan spend is remaining days here?

It's entirely possible.
