Ben Simmons finally scores a deal for his 'unused' mansion

Ben Simmons is pocketing a multimillion-dollar sum off the court but it has taken two years.

The Aussie NBA star, who plays as point guard for the Brooklyn Nets and famously dated supermodel Kendall Jenner, has finally sold his Los Angeles home, two years after it first hit the market.

First listed for $US22,999,000 ($AU35,258,846), the Hidden Hills mansion was then listed for $US17,495,000 ($AU26,820,884).

Advertised on Concierge Auctions’ online marketplace, it has sold for $US13,552,000 ($AU20,441,199). Bidding for the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom, modern farmhouse retreat commenced on April 18 and concluded on April 30.

Rayni Williams, Branden Williams, Gregory LaPlant and Rachel Salgado of The Beverly Hills Estates handled the campaign.

Melbourne-born Simmons, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Brooklyn Nets, revealed in a statement that location was the driving factor in putting the home on the market.

“This is a beautiful home that I’ve enjoyed, but because I spend most of my time on the east coast, sadly, it often goes unused. It’s time to move on,” he said, in the statement published on Concierge Auctions’ website.

The property is described on the listing as a “modern farmhouse retreat”, on an acre-and-a-half of manicured grounds.

Opulence and grandeur is expressed through double-vaulted wood ceilings, marble floors, glass walls, chandeliers and bespoke details, including the floating brass fireplace in the living area.

There’s ample space to entertain with a professional kitchen and an expansive swimming pool. A private plunge pool is by the secluded guest house.

Those that are keen to break a sweat can make use of the state-of-the-art gym.
