    Houston Astros $100 Millon Man sells his Sugar Land mansion at a "discount" price

    Former Houston Astros slugger Carlos Lee is keeping his rep as a million dollar man with the recent sale of his Sugar Land mansion for $1.56 million, less than the 1.9 million Lee originally sought for the 9,117-square-foot residence.

    Built in 1991, the house boasts wrought-iron staircases, arched doorways and windows and hardwood flooring throughout. Highlights include large formals, a chef's kitchen with additional prep area, wood-paneled library and family room with soaring ceilings. The game room is located on the second story.

    Outside, the swimming pool is the focus in the backyard. The grounds extend to an expansive lawn — large enough for a little sandlot play.

    Of course, Lee rather infamously landed a six-year, $100 million contract with the Astros. During his professional career, he hit 17 career grand slams, ranking him seventh in MLB history in that specific category, which ties him with legends Jimmie Foxx and Ted Williams.

    The first baseman/outfielder retired in 2013 with a .285 career average and 358 career home runs.

    Click through the slideshow above the story for a look at El Caballo's now former Houston-area home.

    The game room is located on the second floor.

    3113 Saddlebrook Lane in Katy is on the market for $4.5 million.

    With a main house, guest house, pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and space for RV parking, this 3.82-acre property offers a lot to love.

    The main residence offers 5,947 square feet of living space across two stories, with an impressive amount of natural light, six bedrooms, and four full baths. Coming through the double-door entry, it’s clear this space was made to impress. The entry’s travertine flooring offers an elegant welcome. A wine room is tucked under the main staircase. The living room’s neutral-toned walls are offset by dark wood exposed beams, creating a cozy space to unwind. Built-in shelves offer storage and display space.

    The state-of-the-art kitchen is both a gathering space and a home cook’s dream, with Thermador and Liebherr appliances, a pot filler, dual sinks, quartz countertops, a breakfast nook, built-in desk, and views of the backyard. Just off the kitchen is the laundry room, with access to the three-car garage and a powder room.

    The home's primary suite has its own sitting area, built-in speakers, large windows, space for a private study, and a spa-like bath. Upstairs, find four bedrooms with oversized walk-in closets.

    This exquisite estate is surrounded by lush green spaces, majestic oak trees, and a serene pond, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and outdoor activities. Horses are allowed. 3113 Saddlebrook Lane also has a custom chicken coop and custom-designed garden.

    Inside and out, this Katy home has much to offer its next owners. There’s easy access to both 99 and I-10, and the home is zoned to Katy ISD. Those seeking a spot that blends modern life with rural serenity would be wise to look closely at 3113 Saddlebrook Lane.
