Boasting seven bedrooms,eight bathrooms and a total internal footprint spanning a scarcely believable 1115-square-metres,the bona fidemegamansion is replete with opulent and unique features.

Benefits include a grand lounge hall with vaulted ceilings and marble floors,home theatre with candy bar,a massive master suite,professional kitchen and a lush living area with a floating fireplace.

Outside,the manicured grounds have an expansive swimming pool and complementing pool house,extensive motor court and even a secluded guest house,which comes with its own smaller swimming pool.

The Brooklyn Nets player mustn’t have liked his palatial digs that much,though,because according toDirt.com,Simmons is selling the property less than one year after purchasing it.

There’s a swimming pool outside the main house,plus a smaller pool with the guest house.

And the kicker? The former Melburnian is asking $US5.5 million ($A7.75 million) more than he paid for the avant-garde pad in June last year.

If the lofty asking price can be realised,that’ll be a significant payday for the NBA player,but with an annual salary thought to be worth roughly $40 million per year,not including sponsorship deals,the profit from the home may feel like a drop in the ocean.
