The home was featured on Zillow Gone Wild’s social media accounts Tuesday. The current owner purchased the property in 2022 with plans to renovate it, but he never lived in the home, Stevens said. “So, the last person to actually live in the property was Deion,” she said. The ideal buyer would be an athlete willing to restore the home. It’s priced below a recent appraisal because the property needs some work. But it’s in a prime location, Stevens said. “You already have the bones. You already have the land,” she said. “You’re not going to find this location and this amount of land — especially for that price (in Prosper.)" Sanders, 57, played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999.
