Deion Sanders’ Famous Prosper Mansion Finally Sells For $4.5 Million
Share News:
When Deion Sanders custom-built his sprawling estate in 1999, Prosper was more pasture than powerhouse. The 2000 Census counted just 2,097 residents. Today, the Census Bureau estimates Prosper’s population at 45,605 — more than 21 times its population when Sanders built the house.
The future Hall of Famer was still playing for the Dallas Cowboys then, nearing the end of a five-season run with the team from 1995 through 1999.
Now the Prosper estate he built during those Cowboys years has sold for $4.5 million, closing another chapter in a real estate saga CandysDirt.com has been following for 15 years.
Prime Time, Prosper Style
When CandysDirt.com first wrote about the estate in 2011, the whole 109-acre spread had been asking an eye-popping $21 million.
Today, the house on Copper Point Drive sits on just under six acres, surrounded by the gated community that grew around Deion’s estate. But much of what made the place unmistakably Deion is still there.
The current property still includes an indoor swimming pool, two-lane bowling alley, indoor basketball court, home theater, sauna, steam shower, barbershop, fitness center and recreation room with a bar. The basketball court still carries Sanders’ “You Gotta Believe” slogan.
The primary suite remains outsized, too. Its custom two-story closet measures about 3,000 square feet — roughly the size of an entire house — with a glass walkway, integrated tailoring space, and a kitchenette.
To understand just how over-the-top this place once was, though, you have to go back to 2014.
Candy Evans got inside Sanders’ freshly vacated mansion in September 2014, days after he sold the property to developers.
She found circles everywhere: circular patterns in the family room, a round sunken Jacuzzi tub, a round bed, and a turntable floor in the primary bedroom foyer. Along with frequent red accents, there were acres of polished marble, columns, gold, black granite with gold flecks, and shag carpet.
And those columns surrounding the enormous platform bed weren’t merely decorative. They incorporated six views from the home’s security cameras.
Sanders’ mother had her own upstairs suite marked by a gold “Ma” plaque on the door, with a sitting area and all-white marble bathroom.
Elsewhere, Candy documented a Hall of Fame gallery, movie theater, billiard room, gym, barber shop, sauna, bowling alley, indoor basketball court, and indoor pool.
The biggest changes happened outside.
Outside, the original compound was another world: three pools, a spa large enough for 30, a 12-acre stocked lake, equestrian facilities, a sports court, playground, sunken trampoline, batting cage, lighted tennis court, football field with goal posts, trails and pasture.
Most of that land would soon disappear into new homes and commercial development.
Candy called it the “quintessential Dallas sports star celebrity’s spread out spread.”
Prosper Grew Up Around It
The mansion’s long and strange sales history makes more sense when you consider what happened outside its walls.
After Sanders sold the property in 2014, the 100-plus-acre spread was carved among several owners and developers. Bloomfield Homes took roughly 82 acres for residential development, while Centurion American developed 22 acres into The Montclair, a gated enclave planned for about 25 luxury homes surrounding Sanders’ former mansion.
Developer Don Silverman’s MQ Development Partners took the commercial corner at Preston Road and Prosper Trail. There, it developed the Shops at Prosper Trail, anchored by a 123,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace that opened in 2016 as Prosper’s first supermarket.
The mansion itself, reduced to roughly six acres, got a new identity, too: Chateau Montclair.
An old Trulia listing describes Chateau Montclair as the centerpiece of the gated Montclair community, overlooking the neighborhood lake. The once-far-flung celebrity estate now had million-dollar homes going up around it and a supermarket practically next door.
Candy had seen the transformation coming. When she visited shortly after the 2014 sale, she reported that Sanders had sold the estate off-market Aug. 29 for an undisclosed price and that developers were preparing to turn most of the land residential and commercial.
The mansion remained. Prosper didn’t.
When CandysDirt.com first wrote about the property in 2011, one reader questioned why anyone would pay $21 million “for a house in Frisco, TX (like Egypt to you and me)?”
What was once considered way out is now squarely in the path of Collin County growth.
Today, the Shops at Prosper Trail and Kroger sit just beyond the mansion’s fence, while homes fill land that was once part of Sanders’ private compound.
A Long Road to $4.5 Million
The latest sale is hardly this house’s first trip through the real estate wringer.
Sanders’ original 109-acre spread had been marketed at $21 million as far back as 2009. After the 2014 development sale reduced the mansion to a much smaller parcel, it was listed at $12.9 million and later went to a no-reserve auction, where a bid just under $4 million ultimately failed to close.
The newly christened Chateau Montclair returned to the market again in 2016 and 2017, at one point asking $14.5 million.
By 2019, the asking price had fallen to $7.5 million. The property sold again in 2021, changed hands through bankruptcy court in 2022, and returned to the market in April 2025 at $5.5 million.
The price eventually dropped to $4.995 million before the house went under contract in May and sold for $4.5 million.
That number makes for a dramatic comparison with the $21 million price tag CandysDirt.com was writing about in 2011, but they’re hardly the same property. Most of Sanders’ original acreage was sold off and developed years ago.
Prime Time’s palace is still there. The pasture around it is another story.
