Former cyclist Lance Armstrong has put his Austin, Texas, house up for sale again with a new asking price of $7.5 million, according to the listing.
He purchased the nearly half-acre property in 2013, according to public records.

Mr. Armstrong first listed the house for sale for $8.25 million in January 2016, according to the Austin American-Statesman. Laura Gottesman, the listing agent for the property, did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Mr. Armstrong is not the first notable resident of this six-bedroom, seven-and-one-half bathroom home. He purchased it from Ben Barnes, a longtime Democratic figure in Texas who served as the state’s lieutenant governor from 1969 to 1973.
The house on Windsor Road, which lies in the Old West Austin Historic District, dates back to 1924. Built in Mediterranean style, the house was updated in 2007 with a pool, spa and attached garage, according to public records.

The house has other modern amenities, including a master suite with a private sitting area and his-and-hers bathrooms. The home has also been updated with an alarm system, gated entry, central air conditioning, a sprinkler system and surround sound.
In addition to the pool, the backyard features an outdoor dining area and a pool house equipped with a full bathroom and kitchenette.
The historic home also has a wood-burning fireplace and an underground wine cellar with enough space for entertaining.
Mr. Armstrong, 46, was the world’s most celebrated cyclist until he was found guilty of doping and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in 2012. He has sold two other homes in the Austin area since then.
In 2013, Mr. Armstrong sold his 1.7-acre estate near Camp Mabry to local businessman Al Koehler, according to the Statesman. Although the house was originally listed for $10 million, Koehler told the Statesman that he paid nowhere near that price point. It's unclear when the listing was removed.
Mr. Armstrong also sold his house on Lake Austin in the Rob Roy on the Lake neighborhood in 2013 to race car driver Bret Curtis for an undisclosed amount, according to public records. A representative for Mr. Armstrong didn't immediately return a request for comment.
The new listing was first reported by Curbed Austin.
