At Unique Homes Media, Inc. we’re always on the lookout for unforgettable homes and we think you’re going to love former MLB star, Travis Fryman’s 9,000-square-foot estate. 

The Gold Glove award-winning third baseman’s estate hit the market for $4.8 million. The stunning mansion sits on 150 acres of wooded land in Molino, Florida and is listed by the Mark Lee Team of Levin Rinke Realty. 

Travis Fryman is a Florida native, growing up in Pensacola, just south of Molino, where he built his estate. He was drafted into the MLB by the Detroit Tigers in 1987 and ended his career with the Cleveland Indians in 2002. 

 

He bought the property in the late 1990s and built the home in 2000. “Since Travis grew up in this area, this property holds a special place in his heart,” said Stephan Vance, one of the listing agents and Realtor with the Mark Lee Team. “He built the home with the intention of creating a sanctuary that truly embodies the beauty and spirit of this region.”

The home features a beautiful, secluded front entrance hidden by a variety of mature trees. A grand brick staircase and a double mahogany front door create a welcoming Southern-style entrance. The doors open up to a two-story foyer, private dining room, kitchen, and the great room. The kitchen is decked with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, butcher block center island with a prep sink, wine cooler, built-in heat lamps, and a double-oven. 

With six bedrooms and seven full baths, there is no shortage of space in this opulent residence. The primary suite is located on the main level and features vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and private pool access. A double sink vanity and makeup table, a tub surrounded by a bay window and a spacious walk-in closet make up the expansive primary bath. 

One of the highlights of the home is the great room, which is adorned with a stone wood-burning fireplace, 250 foot tongue-and-groove ceilings, and multiple glass French doors. Additionally, the interior double doors lead into a large sunroom that has panoramic views of the lovely estate grounds.

A rarity in Northwest Florida, the home includes a fully finished basement. It’s equipped with a professional gym, private bedroom and bathroom, a pool table area and an oversized media room with built-ins and a wet bar.

 

With 150-acres of land, the outdoor space is a large selling point for this property.The east side of the home has a large pine barn, batting cage, secluded office space, workshop, area and a bar for entertaining guests. Moreover, on the backside of the house is a wraparound covered patio with an attached gazebo that overlooks the fenced-in gunite pool. Finally, the property has multiple walking trails and parceled out sites for the option to build. 

“Finding a property of this size just outside a city like Pensacola is rare for this area,” said Gordon Miles, president of Levin Rinke Realty. “With its mature trees and extensive wooded land, it offers a rural atmosphere while still being just a short drive from downtown Pensacola and some of the best beaches along the Gulf Coast.”
