It's been a rough year for Chris Tucker. Not only does he owe over $11 million in back taxes but the comedian is also set to lose a lot of money on his home in Monteverde, Florida. The Real Estalker reports that Tucker bought the five-bedroom home for $6 million in 2007 but he won't be getting anything near that now, it is currently listed as a short sale.

Tucker's home is on around an acre of in the gated community of Bella Collina. The community has clubhouses, a fitness center, lakes, vineyards and a golf course. His lakefront faux Mediterranean was a former "Street of Dreams" model home and has over 8,800 square feet of space spread out over two floors. The home has some unique touches including a pirate-ship-themed home theatre complete with a mast.

The master bedroom (complete with zebra print rug) has a sitting room with a morning kitchen and a bathroom with a stained glass window. The backyard includes a patio with a barbecue center, bar, outdoor fireplace, pool and spa. It is listed for $2 million.
