Basketball legend Andrew Bogut has listed another eye-catching property for sale, including an solar-powered yurt.
The NBA Hall of Famer has been making property moves following his decision to join the Sydney Kings as an assistant coach for the upcoming NBL season.
Bogut, 40, and wife Jessica have listed their farm with a restored farmhouse at Zara, located in the Tweed local government area.
The property features an eco-conscious home made from hempcrete, timber and glass, and there's also a solar-powered yurt with views of Bald Mountain.
"Set across 140 breathtaking acres Zara Springs is a visionary estate where nature, sustainability and refined living converge," the property's marketing states.
"Enveloped by panoramic vistas, natural springs and a tranquil lake adorned with water lilies, this property is a rare gem of ecological harmony and beauty.
"Wander through thriving citrus groves, a flourishing Manuka honey plantation and dedicated koala corridors that celebrate the land's native heritage."
The property has a price guide of $4.5 million to $4.9 million.
Cotality records show the home was purchased by the Boguts in November 2023 for $4 million.
Bogut is one of Australia's most successful basketballers, being the No.1 pick in the 2005 NBA draft when selected by the Milwaukee Bucks.
He played with the Bucks, Warriors, Mavericks and Cavaliers during a 14-season NBA career, winning a championship with the Warriors.
Meanwhile, in 2021, the seven-foot former centre sold a home at Concord for $4.1 million.
Bogut had bought the six-bedroom brick bungalow with an extension in 2018 for $3.5 million, when he inked a two-year deal to play for the Kings.
Earlier this year, the Boguts sold a home in Currumbin, Queensland for $7.13 million.
They had bought the home in 2019 for $4.45 million.
"Elevated above the tranquil waters of Currumbin Estuary, this tri-level, architect-designed residence offers a sophisticated beachside lifestyle," the property's marketing states.
"The award-winning home, known as 'The Copper House', was crafted by local architect Paul Uhlmann and brought to life by high-end builder Sanctuary28."
The seven-bedroom home, sitting on 774 square metres, had been a popular holiday rental, earning about $5000 a week.
Cotality records show the couple still owns a small Mudgeeraba acreage, which they bought for $6.45 million in 2021.
Also, in 2021, Bogut's controversial Melbourne property was snapped up within just 48 hours of being listed.
Bogut had planned to build a state-of-the-art home at the site.
Bogut bought the property for $4.7 million in 2015 and adjoining land nearby soon after.
However, he made the decision to list the home for sale after a long-running battle with council over his expansion plans.
