Deion Sanders' over-the-top former Texas mansion is now abandoned — and on the market for $5.5M

This property is ready for a comeback play. The Texas estate custom-built by NFL Hall of Famer Deion 'Prime Time' Sanders is back on the market — this time listed for $5.5 million, and in need of a serious revival. Constructed in 1999 at the height of Sanders' playing career, the nearly 30,000-square-foot mansion was designed to match his larger-than-life persona.

It has sat vacant for over a decade. The home last changed hands in 2021 when a Frisco-based LLC purchased it at auction, reportedly intending to restore it for the owner's wife. Those plans never came to fruition. 23 A study. Home Flex Media / SWNS Advertisement 23 Amenities include a bowling alley, an indoor training pitch, a 14-car garage and a resort-style pool.

The property was once listed for $12.8 million in 2016, but after multiple price cuts — including a drop to $7.5 million in 2019 — it ultimately sold at a significant discount.

The re-listing comes as Sanders, now head football coach at the University of Colorado, is back in the spotlight amid coverage of his son Shedeur Sanders's unexpected tumble to the fifth round in this year's NFL Draft. 23 One of 11 bathrooms.
