For the last 13 years, this loaded Arizona home has been owned exclusively by athletes. Quarterback Matt Leinart sold it in 2007 to NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire, who then sold it four years later to NFL veteran Daryn Colledge, who finally sold it in 2015 to fellow footballer Mike Iupati.
Now, the desert dwelling is seeking its latest sports star after Iupati, who recently signed with the Seahawks, listed it for sale at $1.5 million. That’s $135,000 more than he paid for it two months after joining the Cardinals in 2015, records show.
Clocking in at roughly half an acre, the Phoenix property holds a Tuscan-style home and a swanky backyard with a resort-style pool, spa, waterfall grotto, rock water slide and dining gazebo.
