An Arizona megamansion that boasts a custom-built $300,000 “sneaker room,” a full-size basketball court, and a golf course has hit the market for $23.5 million—providing one very wealthy sports fanatic the opportunity to snap up a piece of paradise.
Located in Scottsdale, the awe-inspiring mansion offers 21,410 square feet of living space, which includes seven bedrooms and 18 bathrooms. Outside, residents get the run of two resort-style pools.
Then there is the celebrity heritage. Built from the ground up by Brett Hardt, a longtime sports aficionado and founder of the brand Attitude Is Free, the home has played host to a huge number of A-list athletes, including Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, and Damian Lillard.
After buying a 5-acre lot in 2014, Hardt began building an epic sports-focused escape, which includes a regulation-sized basketball court that is located 15 feet below the ground.
Far from being a simple place to shoot hoops with pals, the basketball court more than holds its own against some of the NBA’s most popular venues. It features a professional scoreboard, a locker room, private parking, and stadium seating.

The impressive home also calls attention to legendary players’ longtime influence on the fashion industry, courtesy of a $300,000 customer “sneaker room.” Also known as the “Jordan Room,” it features a “museum-quality display of 290 Michael Jordan sneakers.”
The room holds Hardt’s personal collection of Air Jordans, which he began collecting in 2004. But there is space to display 325 pairs of sneakers.
Additional amenities include a nine-hole putting green, a golf simulator, a home theater, a full bar, a gym, and a 2-mile jogging track.
The main residence offers five bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, which feature marble flooring, glass chandeliers, and soaking tubs.
The living room has floor-to-ceiling windows, a dramatic fireplace, and tile flooring. Adding elegance are the Costa Rican-inspired wood ceilings. The chef’s kitchen boasts state-of-the-art appliances, a marble island, and wooden countertops.

The primary suite is “a private sanctuary with spa-like amenities, stunning views, and direct outdoor access,” the listing notes. “Family-friendly spaces include a dedicated playroom with an enclosed grassy area for children.
“A separate 1, 551 sq. ft. guest house with two bedrooms offers privacy and comfort for extended stays, complete with its own entrance and amenities. The estate’s amenities are unparalleled.”
“Architectural highlights include Costa Rican-inspired wood ceilings and Chicago brick accents, reflecting the owner’s roots, while the Elan Control System integrates smart home technology for effortless living.
“Additional features include three Wolf ovens, including a conduction model optimal for gourmet cooking, and a jogging track encircling the entire property. The track measures 3/10 of a mile, with seven laps equaling two miles,” the listing continues.
Hardt purchased the plot of land in 2014 for $920,000 and millions more in building his personal paradise.
However, in an interview with AZ Central, Hardt insisted that he went to great lengths to ensure that the size of his home didn’t send the wrong message about his family.
“It may not seem like it because of the size of the house, but we are humble people. We designed the house so that it didn’t look pretentious from the street.”
