A
sprawling Connecticut estate, once owned by boxing legend Mike Tyson and rapper 50 Cent, has hit the market for $9.9 million. The property, situated on over 17 acres in Farmington, boasts an impressive array of amenities, including seven kitchens, a casino, a nightclub, and a cigar lounge.

    The current owners, Casey and Shera Askar, purchased the home from 50 Cent in 2019 for $2.9 million after it had languished on the market for years due to price cuts. The couple invested over $3 million in renovations, which included installing a cigar lounge, redoing the indoor pool and spa, and upgrading the commercial-grade kitchen.

    The estate's recording studio was where 50 Cent worked on his 2005 album "The Massacre." Tyson purchased the property in 1996 for about $3 million and later sold it to 50 Cent in 2003 for $4.1 million. The Askars used the home as a summer and holiday retreat with their seven children, hosting parties and corporate events in the nightclub dubbed Club TKO.

    With most of their children grown, the couple is now selling the property, which is roughly 51,000 square feet and features indoor and outdoor pools, multiple game rooms, sports courts, a movie theater, and a green-screen room. The asking price is nearly double Hartford County's record residential sale, underscoring the rarity of such a massive, amenity-rich property in the region.

    The location offers easy access to both Boston and New York, including by helicopter, making it an attractive option for those seeking a luxurious retreat with proximity to major cities. Listing agent Sherry Borgeson notes that demand for high-end homes in the region remains strong, with properties typically selling quickly for more than their asking price.
