L.A. Dodgers Star’s Former Estate Hits the Market for $20 Million—and It’s Home to the Ultimate Luxury Man Cave

An enormous Arizona abode that was once home to Los Angeles Dodgers star Andre Ethier has hit the market for $20 million—offering an intriguing blend of high-end resort living and luxury man cave swagger.

Located at the end of a quiet road in Gilbert, AZ, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom estate is known as Ocotillo Sunset Ranch, a suitably impressive name for such a jaw-dropping dwelling.

Perhaps even more noteworthy is the incredible increase in price since the home last traded hands in 2017—when it was sold by Ethier for $4.7 million. Today’s ask has seen that price more than quadruple.

Set on 4.36 acres, the property makes an impression long before you reach the front door. A gated entrance opens to a circular drive with mature desert landscaping, with every inch of the 9,326-square-foot residence feeling like a thoughtful nod to livable luxury. 

But perhaps the most compelling feature of the home is its 6,000-square-foot entertainment facility, aptly named The Hideaway, which includes a golf simulator, gaming station, dance studio, batting cage, and a two-lane private gun range with a bulletproof viewing booth.

“The Hideaway redefines leisure and entertainment,” the listing states. “At its heart is a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen equipped with top-tier appliances, custom cabinetry, and a spacious island, perfect for culinary gatherings.

“Enjoy year-round practice with a cutting-edge golf simulator and putting green, as well as a dedicated gaming station with the latest consoles for epic game nights with friends. Dance enthusiasts will appreciate the fully equipped dance studio with mirrored walls and professional flooring, while a private batting cage provides endless entertainment for sports lovers.

“The Hideaway also includes an upper level studio apartment, a well-appointed workout room and a lounge area for memorable gatherings.”

The home was built in 2003, when Ethier, a Phoenix native who grew up about 25 miles away from the property, partnered with Rick Chafey, owner of Red Rock Development, to create the perfect space for his family.

Chafey, who is credited as the creative mind behind many of the home’s custom amenities, has described it as “a unique ecosystem where luxury meets adventure.” 

And that spirit of adventure isn’t confined to the indoors.

Outside, the estate also features a private go-kart track and a resort-style pool, complete with a spa and cabana. There’s also a built-in outdoor kitchen and barbecue, plus multiple shaded patio areas for dining and lounging.

Inside the main home, towering ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversized windows give the interior a contemporary edge with plenty of views of the landscape beyond.

Thoughtfully curated tilework and warm wood accents throughout the home echo the textures and tones of the surrounding desert, while a gourmet kitchen is made complete with a massive waterfall island, walk-in pantry, and sleek appliances. A double-sided fireplace ties the great room and dining area together. 

The private wing of the home features a spacious primary suite that could rival any luxury spa and comes with a gas fireplace, soaking tub, and a walk-through shower. Three additional bedrooms and bathrooms are clustered together in another wing, creating an ideal space for guests or kids.

Located just minutes from Gilbert’s growing downtown scene but far enough to feel like a retreat, the property manages to be both connected and removed, a tough balance to strike in Gilbert—a place that’s been called one of Arizona’s fastest-growing communities. Top-rated schools, as well as upscale shopping and dining, are all within easy reach.

“This property is more than just a home, it’s your personal sanctuary offering an exceptional lifestyle,” the listing notes. “Don’t miss your chance to experience the pinnacle of luxury living.”

Ethier sold the home the same year that he originally announced he was retiring from the MLB, having spent 11 years playing for the Dodgers.

He later U-turned on that decision—offering himself up as a free agent, but he remained unsigned and eventually retired in July 2018.
