After officially retiring from his baseball playing days, a former New York Mets star is selling his mega mansion that was built around the corner from the team's spring training base.
Former outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hasn't played in the MLB for five years and is now ready to let go of his massive mansion in Port St. Lucie, Florida - at the price of $30million.
Sitting on 400 acres, Cespedes' sprawling home features creature comforts and lavish luxuries.
However, Mets fans will remember this house as the site of a well-publicized run-in with a wild boar that led to the star missing playing time.
Called 'La Potencia II' (translated to 'The Power'), the 16,000-square-foot main residence features six bedrooms and five bathrooms.

'La Potencia II' covers 16,000-square-feet and features six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
A stone fire place is the accent piece of the main living room in the compound
A massive eat-in kitchen features a bar and a large wine room at the end of the long table
Additionally, on the inside, you'll find a massive main living room with a fire place, a massive eat-in kitchen, a games room with a pool table, and an extravagant all-glass wine room next to an ornate bar.
Multiple other living rooms are dotted throughout the residence - which also features the likes of walk-in closets and elegant bathrooms.
Outside, there's a gorgeous patio - complete with its own kitchen, eating space, and a wet bar.
There's also a decadent heated pool - with a separate hot tub and an attached water feature.
But there's also plenty of features that indicate this was the home of a professional athlete. Not only is there a stocked barber shop, there's also a well-equipped gym as well as a separate batting cage.
Finally, when you step out of the enclosure, you'll find a stable for 12 horses as well as a training facility for the equine creatures attached to the property.

Cespedes also installed a full size professional batting cage to work on in the offseason
One of the more interesting features is a fully stocked barber shop on the site of the property
This is also the site of an injury Cespedes suffered due to an interaction with a wild boar
Of course, Mets fans remember this mansion as the site of an infamous injury that Cespedes sustained from a 'wild boar' in 2019.
While the Mets general manager at the time said that Cespedes sustained a broken ankle in a 'violent fall', it was later reported that the two-time All-Star actually had a run-in with the wild animal.
Cespedes tried mounting an MLB comeback in 2024, but that was unsuccessful. The 39-year-old won a Gold Glove award, a Silver Slugger award, and two Home Run Derby competitions throughout his eight year career in the majors.
