Professional basketball player Carmelo Anthony, who plays for the Denver Nuggets, has listed his Colorado mansion for $9,500,000. The home is located at 6965 S Polo Ridge Drive in Littleton, CO. Carmelo bought the 25,610 square foot mega-mansion, named The Sognare Estate, back in April of 2007 for $12,000,000. The home was built in 2002 by Stephen Jacobsen, the former Executive Vice President of Qwest. Stephen was given Carmelo’s old home in Lakewood as part of a deal when he bought the home. The estate, which sits on nearly 6 acres of land, boasts a 21,000 square foot main house with 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a grand foyer with marble columns, a 5,000 bottle wine cellar, a mahogany paneled library, a recording studio, 8 fireplaces, home theater, and a gym. There is also a swimming pool with large pool house, an 11,000 square foot barn, guest house, and a 7-car garage. Carmelo recently gave MTV Cribs an exclusive tour of the home. I wonder why he’s selling the home?

I loved this house on MTV Cribs, it was one of the best in the shows history. The question is why is he selling it? I know he’s going to be a free agent after next season, meaning he might already be thinking of leaving the Nuggets, or he’s just downsizing
I agree with your entire post Chance, I can only think that he feels he will be with another team. Like you I loved the house as well.
I think I stayed at this hotel once when I was in Phoenix. Oh, wait…
First off, I have to say the crack pot listing agent should be ashamed of themselves for that pathetic description on what is one of the most expensive listings in the area.
Secondly, I think this house is kinda gross. Bad faux Mediterranean architecture… the interior finishes are terrible. Just another mega-surburbia house. Nothing unique about it other than size.
This is one of my favorite mansions I have ever seen. It has a lot of my tastes, and I think to myself, “Please ‘Melo, say it isn’t so?” I hope he’s not planing on leaving the Nuggets, unless he’d play side-by-side with LeBron James in New York or Chicago, or even in Cleveland.
The “Bellagio” style fountain and all that is sweet, and this place was well planned.
They did an MTV Cribs episode on this home, I am sure you have seen it. It’s an amazing house, inside and out.
Agreed – awful description… agent is a tool.
The house is staged… maybe he’s already moved to a larger place? It’s really hard to get by these days with only 25,000 sf.
Totally agree Venom, I’ve read about numerous athletes who only rent during the season and have a permanent residence during the off season that they will ultimately live in upon retirement.
