Texas Star Deion Sanders Once Lived in a 29,000 Sq Ft Palace

First off let me begin with, this home was once owned by the great Neon Deion Sanders. While it's one of the "Biggest Homes in Texas" it's said to be in disrepair because no one lives in it.

Deion Sanders, also known as “Prime Time” or “Neon Deion”, is a sports legend. Not only did he dominate in both the NFL and MLB, but he’s also the only athlete in history to play in a Super Bowl and a World Series. So it’s no surprise that a man of such extraordinary status once owned what was once considered the largest home in Texas.

Welcome to Prosper, Texas, Home of a Legend

Sanders’ former estate sits at 1280 N. Preston Road in Prosper, Texas, about 45 minutes north of Dallas. Nicknamed “Chateau Montclair,” the home was as grand as the man himself, boasting over 29,000 square feet of luxurious, climate-controlled living space.

When the largest home in Texas, "Chateau Montclair" was owned by Neon Deion Sanders it had 114 acres. After the auction, it only has 16 acres now, and 10 of those is a private lake.

From the Gridiron to the Diamond

Sanders’ career reads like a dream team roster: the Cowboys, the Falcons, the 49ers, the Redskins, and the Ravens in the NFL, and the Yankees and Braves in Pro Baseball. His two-sport legacy put him in a league of his own.

Inside the Gates of ‘The Montclair’

Set within an exclusive gated community, Sanders’ sprawling estate once sat on 114 acres, including a 10-acre private lake. While the property has since been reduced to 16 acres, it still holds onto the lake and the wow factor.

It even features its own personal barbershop, housekeeper’s quarters, and three swimming pools.
