Paul Pierce Is Selling His Monster Southern California House With Amenities You'll Like, Minus The Location

By now you guys know, I'm a huge fan of athlete real estate that offers something more than the standard 'Here's the huge TV room where we sit and watch TV' that comes with so many houses these days. I need to see a space where a guy can tinker. I need to see a part of the house that the wife or girlfriend hasn't touched. I need to see a place where a guy can drop an f-bomb while sucking down beers with his friends and not feel like he's about to lose privileges in his own house.

Today we take a look at the massive house Paul Pierce is selling in an ultra-exclusive Calabasas, California neighborhood. Pierce is selling the 12,000-plus sq. ft. beast for $10,995,000 through Douglas Elliman via The Altman Brothers. Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business here.

Guys, this one checks the boxes. You'll have spots to feel like your nuts haven't been cut off. The only problem I can see is that it's in California. I know, I know. Taxes, the governor, the people, etc. Take this house, put it in Florida, and it's a must-buy.

From Pierce's realtor:

Set behind gates in the most coveted community in Calabasas, The Estates at The Oaks, this ~12, 250 sqft compound is set on nearly an acre. Unmatched scale and style are realized as the massive front doors open revealing the grand 2 story foyer. Exuding luxury, the home with an attached guest house features 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, an exquisite chef's kitchen, great room, formal and informal dining, living room, movie theatre, bowling alley, bar and gym. Encased by large doors and windows of glass, each room displays vast city sweeping views. Incredible grandiose outdoor area with a pool, 2 spas, dining area, fire pit and basketball court. Surrounded by tall greenery and beautiful landscape, the home offers privacy and security.

The nearest Home Depot is seven miles away. Lowe's is over 10 miles away, which means it'll probably take you three hours round trip to get lumber. The nearest liquor store is also 10 miles away. That should be everything you need to feel human while living in this part of Southern California. Good luck.

Mortgage: You're looking at around $37,000 a month ($100k/year in taxes) before figuring in a grounds crew and the water bill.
