Seven-time Formula one winner Michael Schumacher has sold his Norwegian holiday retreat for approximately £1.8million. The family's mountain home in Trysil, north of Oslo, was used as a base for ski trips since the 1990s. Schumacher also used the lodge as a refuge from media pursuit, reports The Telegraph.

The 6,940 sq. ft. lodge features a spa, a cabin on nearby ski slopes and parking for up to seven cars. It was previously reported by several media outlets last year that Schumacher's family plans to build a £10million hospital room and rehabilitation center for him at their Switzerland home. The ace driver faces a long road to recovery.

Petter Birkrem from the PRIVATmegleren estate agent revealed that the buyer for the home was not Norwegian, reports MailOnline. Buyers were reportedly asked to leave cell phones and cameras outside the lodge while viewing the retreat home. This was done in order to prevent buyers from taking pictures of the property's interiors.

Schumacher is recovering from a traumatic incident that occurred in December 2013 while he was skilling in Meribel in France with his 14-year-old son Mick. The proficient skier was skiing off-piste and lost control. Schumacher smashed his head against a boulder, shattering his helmet and leading to severe brain injuries. He was airlifted to a hospital where doctors operated on him twice in order to relieve the pressure on his brain.

He was thereafter put in a medically-induced coma for six months, which is often the procedure for patients suffering from head trauma and brain damage. In January 2015, Schumacher was removed from the coma and moved to his Switzerland home where he continues to recuperate. The German Formula One driver is undergoing extensive physical therapy in order to prevent muscle atrophy and stimulate blood circulation to muscles.

The champion has a team of elite medical doctors looking after him and keeping a constant vigil. His wife Corinna and children continue to keep hope of his recovery.
