Inside World Series champ Matt Holliday and wife Leslee's former $8,500,000 Florida mansion, fitted with a home theatre and gourmet amenities

Matt Holliday had a tremendous career in the MLB and was one of the best left-fielders of his generation. As such, he earned a lot of money via some lucrative contracts with the Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees.

With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to learn he has lived in some incredible properties, including a Florida mansion, which he and his wife Leslee sold in early 2020 for $8.5 million.

This 9,154-square-foot property comes with a home theatre, swimming pool and gourmet chef's kitchen. With seven beds, and seven bathrooms complimented by a wine cellar, pool and spa, this waterfront, Mediterranean-style mansion has it all, including a two-bed guesthouse.

Let's take a look at some of the photos from the listing:
