Sarah Palin to sell Arizona home for $2.5 million
PHOENIX -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is selling a home that she bought four years ago in Arizona.
Palin is asking $2.5 million for the six-bedroom, 7,900-square-foot home in Scottsdale.
It sits on a 5-acre compound that includes a six-car garage, pool, full-length basketball court and putting green.
Real estate agent Richard Barker said he's selling the home on behalf of Palin and her husband.
Barker says they bought it as a second home, but now it's just too big for them.
According to Baker, the Palins have had one offer and several other serious inquiries.
A company in which Sarah Palin was a part of bought it in 2011 for nearly $1.7 million. The family had made several upgrades to the property since then, including new windows and a revamped backyard.
Barker says he doesn't know whether the Palins are still involved with Safari Investments LLC.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona picked Palin as his running mate during his 2008 presidential bid. Palin has not held public office since resigning as Alaska's governor in 2009.
