A dizzying array of amusements fill the grounds of the 4.8-acre gated Coachella Valley estate of Oakland Athletics outfielder Coco Crisp.
There’s a man-made lake that you can canoe across and a swimming pool with a waterfall and one of those swim-up bars you find at hotel pools in the tropics. The tennis and basketball court are equipped with lighting for nighttime games, and the baseball diamond is scaled-down to the perfect size for Wiffle ball. There’s also a batting cage, a gazebo, and an outdoor kitchen.
“It is a playground paradise for both kids and adults,” says listing agent Rachelle Rosten of John Aaroe Group. “It was a full-time home for Coco but it’s also a great vacation spot. If you want a five-star desert oasis, this is it. And those aren’t just tag words. That’s what it literally is.”
Inside the 17,900-square-foot, five-bedroom, Mediterranean-style home outside Palm Springs, the fun continues with an elevator, a game room, a home theater with a popcorn machine, a saltwater fish tank and a gym.
“You walk into that gym and you know a professional athlete lives there,” Rosten, who’s listing the property with her colleague Sally Forster Jones, says. “This man is staying very much in shape in the off-season.”
The seven-bedroom Rancho Mirage mansion at 1 St. Petersburg Ct. is grand and opulent with décor and features you’d expect to find in an expensive Las Vegas hotel. Palm trees grow inside the master bath equipped with a full-size hot tub, and a sweeping staircase leads to the second level. The “great room” is a sea of lustrous marble and has a floor-to-ceiling fireplace.
Mr. Crisp and his wife, Maria, purchased the property for $7 million three years ago and have been raising their four children there.
Crisp has been an outfielder for the A’s since 2010 and also played for the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals. Crisp signed a two-year $22.75 million deal for 2015 and 2016 with a vesting option for 2017.
The Crisps told the Wall Street Journal they’re moving to find “a new adventure.”
It might be hard to beat this play land.
