Former San Antonio Spurs legend Tony Parker has quietly placed his expansive Texas estate on the market for $16.5 million, offering buyers a rare blend of celebrity provenance, resort-scale amenities, and gated Hill Country privacy.
Located in Boerne, Texas, approximately 25 miles northwest of downtown San Antonio, the roughly 53-acre estate was custom-built in 2009 as a deeply personal retreat during the later years of Parker’s NBA career. While many professional athletes favor homes centered around private gyms or basketball courts, this property takes a different approach—anchored instead by a full-scale private water park that transforms the backyard into a resort-like escape.
“The owner envisioned this estate as a place to unwind and entertain on a grand scale, not simply a showpiece,” the listing agent told californialuxuryhouses, noting that the residence was designed to function as a true family compound rather than a conventional luxury listing.
A Gated Hill Country Sanctuary
The estate sits within Anaqua Springs Ranch, one of the region’s most exclusive gated communities, known for its estate-sized parcels and heightened privacy. According to the listing agent, the neighborhood offers a rare balance of seclusion and accessibility.
“Anaqua Springs Ranch is prized for its peaceful atmosphere while still being minutes from upscale shopping, dining, and daily conveniences,” the agent explained to californialuxuryhouses. “That combination is increasingly difficult to find in today’s luxury market.”
Beyond the guarded community entrance, the property is secured by a custom wrought-iron gate and a private, air-conditioned guardhouse equipped with security monitors and a dedicated phone line. Ten-foot perimeter fencing and a closed-circuit camera system further reinforce the estate’s emphasis on privacy. A whimsical, Jurassic Park–themed secondary gate leads to the rear acreage, adding a playful contrast to the otherwise refined setting.
Architectural Presence and Grand Interiors
The 13,297-square-foot main residence is immediately recognizable for its barrel clay tile roof, hand-carved stone columns, and symmetrical façade illuminated by architectural and landscape lighting. A circular motor court with a central fountain creates a formal arrival experience, while generous parking includes a four-car garage within the guest wing and additional staff parking.
Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive living areas set the tone for large-scale entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, while travertine floors, Venetian plaster walls, and custom wrought-iron railings add layers of craftsmanship. Integrated audio, bespoke lighting fixtures, and open sightlines throughout the home reinforce its purpose as a gathering space.
The chef’s kitchen, crowned by vaulted wood ceilings, features professional-grade stainless-steel appliances alongside a fully equipped catering kitchen with four refrigerators—ideal for hosting events without disrupting the main living areas.
Private Quarters and Lifestyle Spaces
The primary suite occupies a privileged position within the home, accessible via a private elevator and staircase. It includes a sitting room, spa-inspired bathroom finished in marble and travertine, a custom walk-in closet with extensive built-ins, and a cedar closet. Five additional bedroom suites in the main house provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests alike.
Beyond the bedrooms, the home offers a series of lifestyle-driven spaces: dual private offices with en-suite half baths, a temperature-controlled wine room with capacity for approximately 1,500 bottles, a theater with stadium seating and wet bar, and a large game room designed for casual entertaining.
Additional amenities include a barber studio, treatment room, meditation space, and two biometric-access panic rooms—features that underscore both luxury and security.
“The level of customization throughout the main residence and guest accommodations is extraordinary,” the listing agent told californialuxuryhouses. “Many of these features are simply not found in other homes within the local luxury market.”
Resort-Scale Recreation, Including a Private Water Park
What truly distinguishes the estate, however, is its recreational infrastructure. A 5,922-square-foot gym complex includes a basketball court, locker rooms, trophy room, arcade-style play area, and training facilities. Outdoors, residents will find a tennis court, sand volleyball court, greenhouse, herb garden, fruit orchard, and even a dedicated tortoise enclosure.
The crown jewel is the backyard private water park, complete with body slides, waterfalls, grottos, a lazy river, and a diving platform. Multiple terraced levels of hardscaping and lush landscaping frame the water features, while a full outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven supports day-long entertaining.
“Few properties offer this level of resort-style living within a completely private and secure setting,” the agent said. “It’s designed to feel like a destination, not just a home.”
Ownership Background and Market Context
Tony Parker, a four-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer, commissioned the estate during his tenure with the San Antonio Spurs. While the property was briefly marketed privately in the past, the decision to publicly list reflects a renewed motivation to sell.
“Now that the owner has made a firm decision to bring the estate to market, it’s being offered at a price that represents strong value for a property of this scale and caliber,” the agent noted.
Californialuxuryhouses attempted to contact the owner for additional comment regarding the estate’s design inspiration and future plans, but no response was received prior to publication.
A Rare Offering in the Texas Luxury Landscape
Although Parker is synonymous with San Antonio sports history, the estate’s appeal extends far beyond celebrity association. With its combination of acreage, privacy, architectural presence, and resort-level amenities, the property stands as one of the most distinctive luxury offerings currently available in the Texas Hill Country.
For buyers seeking a self-contained retreat that rivals five-star resorts—while remaining within reach of a major metropolitan area—this estate represents a singular opportunity.
