Tony Parker’s Luxury Texas Mansion Relisted for $20 Million
When I first heard that Tony Parker’s Texas mansion was back on the market, my reaction was the same as yours probably is right now—again? This isn’t just another celebrity home with a high price tag. We’re talking about a Mediterranean-style fortress in Boerne, sitting on 53 acres, with its own private waterpark that rivals actual theme parks.
The estate has been on and off the market since 2022, shifting between price tags and headlines, but the latest relisting at $20 million is the boldest yet. For me, what makes this story compelling isn’t only the jaw-dropping features—it’s the mix of Parker’s legacy, the way the property has been positioned, and the bigger question: can even a mansion with its own lazy river find the right buyer in today’s market?
That’s what we’ll dive into here. Not just a room-by-room recap you’ve already skimmed on Realtor.com, but the backstory, the risks, and the strategy behind why this home is in the spotlight again.
Would you pay more for a “legacy estate” tied to an NBA star—or do you think the $20M ask is too ambitious?
Property at a Glance
If you’ve only seen the headlines, let me slow things down for you. Parker’s estate isn’t hidden deep in Texas farmland—it’s in Anaqua Springs Ranch, a 24-hour manned, gated community in Boerne, about 30 minutes from San Antonio.
Pulling into the property, you drive through a tree-lined road before reaching the main home, which honestly feels more like a Mediterranean fortress than a typical mansion.
The residence itself stretches over 13,297 square feet, wrapped in stucco with clay-barrel roof tiles and arched doorways. Inside, there are six bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, dual offices, a library, a theater, and even a barber studio.
Realtor described it best: it’s not just a house—it’s “a private resort, a legacy property, and a waterpark all rolled into one.”
And this is just the start—you haven’t even stepped outside yet.
The Star Attraction: A Private Waterpark Rivaling Theme Parks

Let’s be honest—you and I wouldn’t be talking about this home if it weren’t for the waterpark. Most luxury estates brag about pools; Parker’s has eight pools, tied together by slides, waterfalls, grottos, and a lazy river.
This isn’t some backyard DIY job either. It was designed by Keith Zars, the same man behind the water features at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. According to reports, the build took 59,000 man-hours, used over 2,100 gallons of concrete, and required 13,000 pounds of steel.
Think about that: the kind of engineering that goes into a public attraction was poured into Parker’s backyard. For deep-pocketed buyers, this isn’t just a pool—it’s bragging rights that you literally own a waterpark.
Beyond the Waterpark: Resort-Level Amenities
Now, if sliding down speed chutes every day isn’t your thing, don’t worry—this estate has more.
There’s a 6,000-square-foot gym complex, complete with a basketball court, arcade games, and locker rooms. You’ll also find a tennis court, sand volleyball court, and enough outdoor space to host full tournaments.
Prefer something quieter? You can walk through the herb garden, fruit orchard, or even check out the property’s private tortoise habitat.
Inside, the main home doesn’t fall short either. Soaring ceilings, Venetian plaster, marble finishes, and walls of glass make it a blend of elegance and openness. A 1,500-bottle wine room, dual kitchens (one just for catering), a meditation suite, and a theater round out the list.
And if you’ve got guests, there’s a four-bedroom guesthouse that’s fully self-sufficient with its own kitchen, laundry, and garage.
This isn’t just luxury—it’s a full-on resort designed for entertaining at scale.
The Story Behind 9 Rue Parker
Here’s where things get personal. Tony Parker didn’t build this place just to flex his NBA checks—he built it with a purpose. In interviews, he’s said he wanted a home where his friends and family could stay for long stretches, especially those flying in from France.
That’s why he added so many “stay-a-while” features—multiple kitchens, guest quarters, entertainment spaces, and of course, the waterpark. For him, this wasn’t about showing off; it was about creating memories.
But life changes. At 43, Parker spends more time in France, where he’s the majority owner of the basketball team LDLC ASVEL. After years of hosting, he’s ready to pass the property on. In his words, he’s already created the memories he wanted here.
For a buyer, that gives the mansion an added narrative—it isn’t just luxury, it’s the house that hosted one of the NBA’s all-time greats.

Market Journey: From $16.5M to $20M
Here’s the tricky part. For all its jaw-dropping features, this estate hasn’t had an easy time finding a buyer. Since 2022, it’s bounced on and off the market multiple times.
Most recently, in July 2025, it was listed at $16.5 million, but no deal was struck. Now, as of September, it’s back on the market with a much bolder price—$20 million. That’s a $3.5M jump, in a market where most properties move only after price cuts.
Why the higher ask? Insiders say it’s about repositioning the estate. Instead of being “just” a mansion, it’s being marketed as a legacy property—a one-of-a-kind resort home with celebrity ownership attached. For the right buyer, that exclusivity could justify the bump.
Still, the challenge remains: ultra-luxury homes like this appeal to a very narrow slice of buyers. And while a $20M price tag grabs attention, whether it closes is another story.
This isn’t the first time a celebrity has tested the market with bold pricing moves—recently Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez put their Beverly Hills home back on market with a $52M price tag.
So, do you think Parker’s bold move to raise the price will pay off—or will this mansion keep bouncing on and off the market?
Who Could Buy This Mansion?

Every time a home like this hits the market, I always ask the same question: who’s the buyer? Because let’s be real—there aren’t many folks who want (or can maintain) their own waterpark.
The most obvious pool of buyers is ultra-high-net-worth families who want privacy, land, and the ability to entertain on a massive scale. Then you’ve got international buyers, especially from Europe or the Middle East, who see Texas as both a lifestyle upgrade and a safe investment. And let’s not forget celebrities or athletes who might find the idea of buying an NBA legend’s home appealing.
But here’s the flip side. Properties this unique are also risky. The maintenance costs alone—keeping eight pools, a gym complex, and manicured acreage running—will scare off a lot of buyers. And because it’s so specialized, the resale market is thin. You don’t buy this estate to flip it—you buy it because you want to live the lifestyle it offers.
If you had the money, would you see this as a dream home or a maintenance nightmare?
We’ve seen similar ultra-wealthy buyers step in for high-profile estates before—like when NASCAR legend Jamie McMurray sold his North Carolina estate for $12M.
How It’s Being Marketed Differently?
Most celebrity homes hit the MLS, get glossy photos, maybe a spread in Architectural Digest, and that’s it. But Parker’s estate has taken a much bolder path.
Earlier, the property gained buzz when Twitch streamer Kai Cenat live-streamed from inside—literally turning the mansion into content for millions of viewers. You don’t often see luxury real estate blended with gaming culture, but the stunt worked: it got people talking who would never normally follow a Texas estate listing.
On top of that, the mansion has its own dedicated website branding it as a “legacy property” rather than just a residence. That kind of storytelling—framing it as a once-in-a-lifetime asset—is a deliberate play to attract global billionaires who want more than square footage.
It’s smart marketing, but here’s the question: buzz doesn’t always equal buyers. You can make headlines and rack up livestream views, but at the end of the day, it takes one serious person willing to wire $20 million.
Tony Parker’s Legacy Beyond Basketball
It’s impossible to separate this mansion from the man who built it. Parker isn’t just another ex-athlete selling off a big house—he’s a four-time NBA champion with the Spurs, Finals MVP, and one of the greatest point guards of his era.
After retiring in 2019, he pivoted into ownership, becoming majority owner of LDLC ASVEL in France’s top basketball league. That shift explains why he’s spending more time overseas and why selling this estate makes sense now.
For Parker, this home was a stage for memories—hosting teammates, family, and friends from Europe. For buyers, it’s also a piece of sports history. When you own 9 Rue Parker, you don’t just buy real estate; you buy a slice of NBA lore.
It’s part of a bigger trend where stars are moving on from homes tied to personal chapters—just like Lea Black preparing to sell her Los Angeles luxury home for $7M.
Takeaways for Luxury Real Estate Enthusiasts
Here’s what I take away from this listing:
- Unique sells, but only to the right audience. A waterpark mansion will turn heads, but it also narrows your pool of buyers.
- Celebrity ownership is both a blessing and a burden. It creates buzz, but sometimes buyers worry about overpaying for the “name.”
- Positioning matters. Reframing the estate as a “legacy property” rather than just a mansion is a calculated move—and it’s a lesson for anyone marketing high-end assets.
The big question is whether the market agrees with that $20M price. In today’s climate, it’s bold. But bold is often what it takes to land a buyer who wants something no one else in the world has.
So, if you were Parker, would you hold out for the $20M dream offer—or cut the price again to finally close the deal?
