    A baller property

    San Antonio Spurs superstar's splashy estate with waterpark hits market for $19.5 million

    John Egan

    A 53-acre estate in Boerne owned by former San Antonio Spurs player Tony Parker — complete with a waterpark that almost rivals what you’d find at SeaWorld San Antonio — recently hit the market for $19.5 million.

    The property, at 9 Rue Parker, features 10 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and four half-bathrooms. It sits within Anaqua Springs Ranch, which is gated. The six-bedroom main house and four-bedroom guest apartment also are gated and include a guardhouse.

    To be sure, the interior is impressive. Among the highlights are a temperature-controlled wine room with space for up to 1,500 bottles, a home theater with stadium seating, two home offices, and a more than 5,900-square-foot gym.

    “Voluminous living spaces are masterfully designed for entertaining yet equally suited for everyday moments,” the listing says.

    It’s the exterior, however, that might really wow residents and visitors alike. Outdoors, you’ll come across a tennis court, a sand volleyball court, a greenhouse, an herb garden, a fruit orchard, and a tortoise enclosure. And then there’s arguably the star attraction: a massive waterpark with slides, lazy rivers, grottos, and a diving platform.

    Binkan Cinaroglu of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing, which is in the Hill Country about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio.

    Parker, who spent 17 of his 18 NBA seasons with the Spurs, once shared the estate with how now ex-wife, actress Eva Longoria. He retired from the NBA in 2019. Parker now owns ASVEL, a professional men’s and women’s basketball team in France.

    You'd never need to leave home with an entertainment setup like this.

    Bed Bath & Beyond returns to Houston via Container Store merger

    The Container Store is merging with Bed Bath & Beyond.

    Bed Bath & Beyond is making a comeback — well, sort of. The Container Store is merging 98 of its nationwide stores with the once-mighty home goods chain, including the its Houston-area locations location in Uptown, Champions, and Friendswood.

    On April 6, Bed Bath & Beyond entered into a merger agreement to purchase The Container Store for $150 million. A release says combining the two concepts’ goods will “better serve how customers live today.”

    In recent years, both brands have been struggling as part of the “retail apocalypse” of big box stores. In December 2024, Coppell-based Container Store filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy without shedding any stores.

    Bed Bath & Beyond, meanwhile, collapsed in summer 2023. After filing for Chapter 11, it liquidated all of its U.S. stores. It shuttered three Houston-area stores in 2020, followed by all of its remaining locations in 2023.

    As part of the merger, The Container Store will be streamlining its offerings, cutting around 30 percent of its stock. Stores will be offering clearance prices on the items starting Friday, April 24. The Container Store will also be opening an hour early on April 25-26, giving early birds an extra 5 percent discount.

    “This is a reset with purpose,” said Jen Pape, Senior Vice President of Stores at The Container Store, in a release. “We are actively reshaping our stores to make room for what’s next. By streamlining select categories today, we’re creating the space and flexibility needed to introduce Bed Bath & Beyond products and deliver a more complete home experience for our customers.”

    The merger affects 12 Texas stores, including:

    • Arlington — 4000 Arlington Highlands Blvd #101
    • Austin — 9629 Research Blvd
    • Dallas — 13710 Dallas Pkwy
    • Dallas — 7700 W NW Hwy #500
    • Fairview — 151 East Stacy Rd
    • Fort Worth — 4601 West Fwy #500
    • Friendswood — 18760 Gulf Fwy
    • Houston — 5466 FM 1960 W
    • Houston — 2511 Post Oak Blvd
    • Plano — 8460 Parkwood Blvd
    • San Antonio — 333 NW Loop 410
    • Southlake — 1200 Main St
