It featured 10 bedrooms and 10 full bathrooms, a full indoor basketball court with a scoreboard and sound system, a football field and tennis court, three pools – two indoor, one outdoor and a 12-acre lake.
It also had a gym, barbershop, arcade, bowling alley, a guest house, a theatre with a stage and a sauna. Inside the house was also an awards gallery, a commercial-standard kitchen, a locker room, a yoga studio and a two-story foyer.
