Mats Wilander in Sun Valley, Estate of the Day

Earlier this week I brought you Lindsay Davenport's Ventura, California home but she's not the only tennis player looking to sell some real estate. Last June, the Wall Street Journal's "Private Properties" column reported that tennis champion Mats Wilander and his wife Sonya had listed their 81-acre property in Sun Valley, Idaho. The home was then listed at $8.5 million. A new price reduction put it back on my radar.

Cove Meadow features a 10,532-square-foot main house built in 1999. The home's main living area has a snuggle-inducing tall stone fireplace and a wood beamed ceiling. The stainless steel and wood kitchen strikes an interesting note somewhere between clinical and cozy. Other features include an exercise room and a soundproofed music room. On the property there is also a guest house, caretaker's residence, stone-surrounded lap pool and a hot tub. The land is crossed by creeks that offer fishing opportunities and it is bordered by federal lands and private holdings for added privacy. Cove Meadow is now listed at $7.9 million.

UPDATE: This home is now listed at $5.95 million.

I think Ivan Lendl has finally sold that one, or at least that's what the NY Post said last month

I hope the majority of asking price is because of that acreage. Aside from the square footage, it looks like an anonymous tract home.

It's nice ..... a real trip for a getawayhome.

OHHHBOY ..... I definitely want the yellow sofa if this guy is selling it!!!! We have been looking for a cozy yellow couch for years. How much? Please send it to me!! I will pay you something! Thanksabunch. I need that sofa!!!! Ours is 17 years old. It is.

Drawbacks ..... one can imagine how dark and scary this place would be at nighttime. Wild animals prowling all over the properties. How does a person take safe care for/of their poochies? To let them take a pee-pee at 2 a.m.? Other than that .... it looks peaceful. Is there fishing? Knock down the price.
