Captain James Lovell, Astronaut Who Led Apollo 13, Lists Texas Home for $3.5M

Published: April 24, 2016 | By: American Luxury Staff

The leader of the famed Apollo 13 mission, former NASA astronaut Captain James Lovell, has listed his shorefront home in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, for $3.5 million.

Unfortunately, the property doesn’t come with any artifacts from his journey to the moon. However, Tom Hanks did once spend a weekend at the beautiful estate with Lovell and his wife, Marilyn, when preparing to play Lovell in Ron Howard’s acclaimed “Apollo 13” movie.

Another unique aspect of this fully furnished listing is a series of five stained-glass windows telling the story of Lovell’s missions above the two-story, floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the bay. Additionally, the home sports direct access to the water via the backyard and a small deck area and it also includes an attached boathouse.

With bright coastal views and its own history, any buyer—or space fan—would surely be happy in the waterfront home.
