The mansion also includes a 14-bay garage with two oversized bays. It's located in Prosper, Texas. The house sits on nearly 6 acres and epitomizes the phrase 'Everything is bigger in Texas.'
The NFL legend Sanders spends a lot of time in Texas.
Most recently, at family's draft gathering at their home in Texas, the Sanders family danced in celebration as son and former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sander got the call from the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.

Once a predicted first-round draft pick, Shedeur's fall to the fifth round is unprecedented and made constant headlines. Many questioned what caused the tumble.
NFL analyst Robert Griffin III reported on what could have caused Shedeur's controversial situation - that NFL head coaches didn't want to risk getting fired and replaced by Deion, if Shedeur's rookie season was not successful.
"I’m being told some NFL Head Coaches feared drafting Shedeur Sanders in the 1st round as a starter, it not working out and then eventually being replaced by Deion Sanders as Head Coach," Griffin posted on X. "That’s weak and cowardly. Cost this man $40 Million."
NFL rumors and reports did fly this offseason that Deion Sanders could leave Colorado for an NFL coaching job. Deion was at one time the favorite to be hired as the Dallas Cowboys head coach, before Cowboys owner Jerry Jones chose to promote Brian Schottenheimer from offensive coordinator to head coach.
Prosper, Texas is a 15 minute drive to the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters, located in Frisco, Texas.
Sanders quieted those rumors by signing a contract extension with Colorado, worth $54 million over five seasons.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to continue building something special here at Colorado," said "Coach Prime" in a statement released by the school. "We've just scratched the surface of what this program can be. It's not just about football; it's about developing young men who are ready to take on the world. I'm committed to bringing greatness to this university, on and off the field."
Seems like Deion is happy coaching in Boulder.

After day three of the NFL Draft, when Cleveland drafted Sheduer and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed brother Shilo Sanders as an undrafted free agent, Deion shared a message on X.
"Everybody’s worried about what happened yesterday & fear the possibilities of what will happen tomorrow when we should be focused on NOW! What we do with our NOW is what matters the most. Let’s make the most of our NOW," Deion posted on X.
