Today's estate is one we've seen before but I can't resist a good before and after story. The first time we saw the Texas home belonging to Yankees baseball player Mark Teixeira was in 2008. Back then the home in the gated Vaquero community was listed at $5.75 million and the first baseman was playing for the Braves. Flash forward to now, he's a Yankee and the home has had a bit of a renovation and is back on the market. Nothing major appears to have been done, a few color changes, an overall sprucing up, some much-needed lawncare, better listing pictures and voila, a much more appealing home.
The Vaquero development offers residents a Tom Fazio golf course, swim center, fishing ponds a fitness center and a clubhouse. The house itself has four bedrooms and is nearly 7,000 square feet. Teixeira and his wife purchased the home in 2005 for $3.99 million. The home has a nice negative-edge pool with a nice outdoor entertaining area. The master suite has a gas fireplace and a large patio with an infinity-pool style hot tub. One of the nicest features is that the home theater opens directly out to the patio which has a fireplace, seating area and bar. The home is now listed for $4.55 million.
New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has decided to rent out his rustic lodge-style home rather than sell it.
The estate is located in the 525 acre community of Vaquero; which is located in the town of Westlake, TX, a neighborhood that Forbes named the most affluent in the U.S. Public records show Teixeira’s Vaquero home was first listed in 2008 for $5.75M, then reduced to $4.55M, and again reduced to $3.995M. He recently put the estate up for rent at $15,000 a month and quickly locked in New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton as his new tenant.
Teixeira’s home is located on 1.08 acres and has 8554 sq-ft, 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a guest house. The extensive main house has a gourmet eat-in kitchen, massive game room with bar and deck, and a 2-level office. The master suite includes His & Her baths, a gas fireplace and a huge patio with an infinity-pool style hot tub. The home also has a home theater that opens directly out to the patio which has a fireplace, seating area and bar. Outside Teixeira’s home is just as nice. It comes complete with a negative-edge pool, a covered patio with outdoor kitchen, fire pit.
As a resident of Vaquero you can also become a member of the exclusive Vaquero Club. For an initiation fee of $175,000 and $15,000 in annual dues, club members can enjoy a golf course, swim center, fishing ponds a fitness center, clubhouse, & a wide range of perks including tennis lessons, having an on-call decorator, or even coordinating a pet sitter while you’re out of town.
