Selena Gomez Puts Her M Texas Mansion Back on the Market

Pop singer and North Texas native Selena Gomez has put her 10,000-square-foot mansion in Fort Worth on the market again, for $3 million.

Gomez, 25, grew up 30 minutes east of Fort Worth, in Grand Prairie, and picked up the five-bedroom, 6.5-bath mansion in 2015 to have a place to stay when visiting family. But she changed her mind, and put the house on the market in early 2016 for $3.5 million. She pulled the listing a few months later after failing to find a buyer. Now it’s back for another go-round.

The home is undoubtedly one of the city’s most impressive luxury properties. It’s just outside the 10 most expensive homes in the city and is the sixth-largest home currently on the market there.

By comparison, Fort Worth’s largest and most expensive listing, a 24,000-square-foot mansion for $7 million, is located just a few doors down from Gomez’s home, in the upscale Montserrat community.

Built in 2005 on a 1.5-acre lot, Gomez’s stone-clad, contemporary English-style home comes packed with high-end amenities. Double front doors open to an open-concept foyer, dining room (with its own fireplace), and wet bar.

Around the corner, the chef’s kitchen has an L-shaped island with room for six, a family dining room, and a living room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

The master bedroom has a tray ceiling and sitting area. The master bath has double sinks, a makeup vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower.

While those are all fairly standard features, the home really shines in its entertainment spaces. There’s a large game room with a wet bar, including beer taps, and enough space for a pool table, shuffleboard table, arcade cabinet, jukebox, and poker table. There’s a movie room with projector and seating for eight, a crafts room, and a coffee bar.

Outside, there’s a lagoon-style saltwater pool with a waterfall, slide, diving board, and spa. Elsewhere, there’s a sport court, putting green, and two garages.

Gomez, who had a humble childhood, recalled helping her single mother scrounge up quarters for gas, and walking to the nearby dollar store for food. She got her first big break at the age of 10, appearing on two seasons of “Barney & Friends.”

As a teenager, she starred in the Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place,” and launched a successful pop music career. She’s appeared in several small films, and served as the executive producer of “Thirteen Reasons Why,” which premiered on Netflix last year.
