The Czech-born ace racked up a whopping £16.8million in prize money during his illustrious 16-year pro career.
That included 270 weeks as the world No1, winning eight Grand Slams, 94 titles and the Davis Cup before coaching Andy Murray to his three major glories.
Lendl put his mesmerising 445-acre Connecticut estate on the market early in 2021.
And the tennis Hall of Famer handed over the keys to the new owners last Thursday following a $12million (£9.5m) sale.
As reported by CT Insider, that breaks the record for the most expensive house sold in Litchfield County.
The remote pad was built for Lendl and his wife Samantha – who have five daughters – in 1992 by architect Allan Greenberg.
It features a whopping 20 rooms – ten of which are bedrooms with 15 bathrooms and the master bedroom has not one but two walk-in wardrobes.
There is also a host of fireplaces, a library, an eat-in chef’s kitchen, a butler’s pantry, a wine cellar and even a trophy room inside the giant, three-storey stone property at the end of a massive long driveway.

Outside, the standout features keep on coming with the swimming pool, pond, newly-resurfaced tennis court, sauna and gym with changing rooms – plus an office over the two garages that can accommodate eight vehicles.
To top it all off, there is even a stable yard barn with six horse stalls with views over the Connecticut hills.
And it is so big that the plot actually spreads across the border into both the Goshen and Cornwall regions of the state.
Estate agent Elyse Harney Morris said: “The Lendls [were] looking for the ideal location that had a mix of open land that they could enjoy right away as well as forest land. I think they did a really nice job in finding this.
“It really was somewhere that you could live, work and play in a very private setting in Litchfield County.
“Something like this is once in a lifetime.”
