NBA star Tony Parker asks $16.5M for over-the-top Texas mansion — featuring a water park with 8 pools

Texas’ splashiest celebrity mansion — with the state’s, and possibly the country’s, largest private residential water park — is back on the market for $16.5 million, The Post can reveal.

Since 2009, this 53-acre estate located in the San Antonio suburb of Boerne has served as the US address of French-American NBA star Tony Parker. Now, the retired San Antonio Spurs point guard and six-time NBA All-Star is ready to part with the 10-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 13,300-square-foot mansion he poured his personality into.

“My vision was to build something where I can host my family and my friends, and create memories,” Parker told The Post. “I like to host and when my friends come from France, you know it’s a long flight, so I wanted a place where they can come for long stays.”

The result was a private resort nestled within the secure gated community Anaqua Springs Ranch. For a little extra peace of mind, Parker added a double gate and a guardhouse to the entrance of the Spanish-style manse, fronted by a fountain and formal courtyard.

But while it’s all business up front, there’s a party in the back.

Parker tapped Texas’ prolific pool progenitor Keith Zars — the man behind the water at Six Flags Fiesta Texas — to masterplan his 316,000-gallon, eight-pool personal water park. The construction took 59,000 man hours, 2,100 yards of concrete and 130,000 pounds of steel.

“[Parker] was in Dubai when he saw a waterslide and came back with a whole bunch of ideas,” said Erwin Nicholas II, the founder of local brokerage Mr. Real Estate, which is marketing the home. “He got his pool engineers together and what you see is what they built.”

That conversation resulted in a mountain, grottos, six different slides — including a “free fall” slide and a “spinner” slide — a 35-foot-high jumping ledge with 15 feet of water below, three Jacuzzis, water cannons, a lazy river and floating lily pads to run across, if you dare.

Elsewhere on the grounds there’s a four-bedroom guest house, a greenhouse, a fruit orchard, an eight-car climate-controlled garage, a tennis court and a sand volleyball court.

Parker, who’s on the board of the San Antonio Zoo, said he had planned to add a menagerie of animals to his personal playground — a dream that was never realized. However, he did re-create the gates from “Jurassic Park” as the entrance to the golf cart path at the back end of the property in anticipation.

Today, the only reptile to be found is “Bulldozer,” his pet tortoise, who boasts his own private quarters.

Asked if Bulldozer is a part of the deal — which would set a neighborhood record if the property sells at ask — Nicholas said that “everything is negotiable.”

“A lot of people say this is a party house,” added Parker, who has two children and was married to actress Eva Longoria while building the residence. “But it was really a family house. I just wanted to create a safe place for my family.”

Nevertheless, the house has hosted some epic events, including Spurs champions parties, a Hall of Fame party and Parker’s jersey retirement party — not to mention a Nelly concert. But today, Parker is largely across the pond as the majority owner of the French professional basketball team LDLC ASVEL, and isn’t able to enjoy the home like he used to.

“We made so many memories,” Parker said.

Inside, things are every bit as unforgettable.

There’s a chef’s kitchen, a 1,500-bottle wine room, a cinema with stadium seating, twin offices and a trophy room accessed by a fingerprint scanner.

But the most dramatic space is the 5,922-square-foot gym designed as a Spurs-themed half court (the other half of the court is a vast gaming arcade). And to inspire a super workout, the gym is filled with 36 life-size Marvel and DC superheroes and villains.

“It started because my friends and brothers never know what to buy me for Christmas or my birthday,” said Parker. “I was given one statue and then a collection just happened.”

The collection was even loaned out for an exhibition at the San Antonio Museum of Art.

But as with any one-of-a-kind item, a house like this requires a one-of-a-kind buyer. The home has been on and off the market over the years with various brokers — as recently as 2024 — without finding a new owner.

But Nicholas thinks he’s found a unique solution for selling a unicorn. He brought in internet personality Kai Cenat — the second-most-followed Twitch streamer with 18.1 million followers — to live stream and “activate” the home for the entire month of July.

Already, Cenat has leveraged sponsorships to cheekily create a Nandos restaurant in the house — among other stunts.

“[Cenat and his crew] turned the tennis court into a live stream activation by Meta and Xbox,” said Nicholas. “They do a lot of fun games. They’ve installed a boxing ring in the backyard and a weight room on the back patio. They’re going to have different celebrity guests come through as well, which they haven’t named, but, you know, that’s kind of the whole point — to surprise everybody. There are millions of eyes on the property.”

It may have already worked, as Nicholas suspects that Cenat might end up being his buyer. If not, he’s targeting other athletes and entertainers, as well as wealthy families.

“To build a house like this today would be astronomically more expensive than what we are asking for price-wise,” he said. “The buyer will be somebody that doesn’t just want land, that doesn’t just want a big house, but wants what I would call a generational estate.”
