In the offseason after Mark Teixeira was traded from the Texas Rangers to the Atlanta Braves, he put his huge Westlake, TX estate on the market for $5.75 million. Unfortunately, that was around the time the housing bubble burst, so Teixeira & his wife held off on selling, made some nice improvements, and now the estate is back on the market (albeit for $4.55M). Luxist has the details on the renovated Teixeira 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."
