Former MLB star Adrian Gonzalez's dreamy $16,480,000 La Jolla mansion overlooking the ocean up for sale

After enjoying 14 seasons in the MLB, former Los Angeles Dodgers star infielder Adrian Gonzalez retired, playing his last game for the New York Mets on June 10, 2018. Over the years, the five-time All-Star has amassed a net worth of $100 million, including his earnings as a player, investments in real estate, and endorsement deals.

Last year, in June, Gonzalez listed his $16.48 million La Jolla mansion, which has a beautiful view of the ocean. During his stint with the San Diego Padres in 2010, Gonzalez bought the property for $7.2 million, per the LA Times.

Spanning half an acre, the real estate is located in Muirlands, a wealthy neighborhood named after the famous conservationist and naturalist John Muir. The 10,000-square-foot abode has three stories with ocean-facing decks, patios, and balconies.

Moreover, the kitchen features a spherical wall of picture windows with views of the water. A spacious terrace leads down to a stone patio with a swimming pool and spa via dual staircases.

Gonzalez is awaiting interest from potential buyers to sell his lavish mansion near the coastal line.
