oenis Cespedes is selling his sprawling 378-acre hunting and equestrian estate in St. Lucie County for $30 million, a significant drop from the nearly $15 million he paid for it in June 2016. The property, dubbed "La Potencia II," features six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two powder rooms across its 16,000 square feet of living space.

    Located near Clover Park, the New York Mets' spring training home in Port St. Lucie, the estate boasts a range of amenities, including a chef's kitchen, batting cage, heated pool, spa, screened patio, private barber shop, and a 12-stall horse stable with training yards.

    Cespedes, a former outfielder for the New York Mets, purchased the property after defecting from Cuba in 2011. He played in 834 games throughout his career, hitting 165 home runs before suffering multiple right ankle fractures during an incident with a wild boar at La Potencia II in 2019.

    The property's tax bill has been substantial, with Cespedes paying over $67,000 annually since 2020. However, he received an agricultural classification in 2021 after introducing cows to the property, which reduced his tax burden. The estate's assessed value increased significantly after construction was completed in 2019, reaching over $3.57 million.

    Cespedes' decision to sell La Potencia II comes as a surprise, given its luxurious features and prime location near the Mets' spring training home. The property is listed with Julian Johnston and Lina Agosto of Corcoran Group, who are seeking a buyer willing to pay top dollar for this unique estate.
