Matt Holliday Lists Newly Built Arizona Estate for $11.6 Million

Retired outfielder Matt Holliday is putting his Paradise Valley, Arizona, estate up for sale, just months after he bought the newly built home. The property is listed at $11.6 million, a high-end asking price even for the upscale Phoenix-area market.

Holliday spent more than a decade in Major League Baseball and is best remembered by many fans for his time with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he helped the club win the 2011 World Series. Since retiring from the game, he has kept a lower profile, and a home sale is a far less common headline for a former player than a championship run.

Paradise Valley, a small town bordering Phoenix, is known for large lots, desert views and luxury homes, which helps explain why it draws buyers who want space and privacy. A quick resale of a house bought earlier this year is an unusual turnaround, though the reasons behind it were not included in the report.

The report also did not include details such as square footage, bedroom count or the features of the home. Anyone interested in those specifics will likely need to check the listing once it is publicly posted.
