John Calipari ended his time as the coach of Kentucky this offseason to continue his coaching career elsewhere in the landscape. The coach has teamed up with the Arkansas basketball program after a noteworthy 15-year tenure in charge of the Wildcats.

With the coach settling to live in Fayetteville, his house in Lexington is up for sale. Calipari lived in the house the entirety of his time at Kentucky, and the search for a new owner began just a few weeks after the coach made the surprising decision to have a fresh start at Arkansas.

The 9,615-square-foot house has been listed on real estate marketplace Zillow and is available for approximately $4 million. The home had some popularity during John Calipari’s day at Kentucky, having hosted his staff on several occasions, which will be one of the selling points for the house.

Take a look at the interior of the home, which is located on Richmond Road in Lexington.
