Whether you’re taking part in MLB’s spring training or you just want to be close to the action, a recently listed ranch property on Florida‘s east coast is a true home run.
The Port St. Lucie manse, about 60 miles north of Palm Beach and 120 miles south of Orlando, was custom-built back in 2018 by baseball player Yoenis Céspedes, an MLB All-Star and a two-time Home Run Derby champ. Known to his fans as “La Potencia,” or “The Power,” Céspedes named the 378-acre estate after himself—La Potencia II. While he enjoyed the rural spread for almost a decade, Céspedes is now bringing it to market for $30 million, with Julian Johnston and Lina Agosto at the Corcoran Group holding the listing.
An at-home batting cage is a must for any former or aspiring MLB All-Star.

The massive acreage functions as both an equestrian and hunting compound. Among the grounds, you’ll find a 12-stall horse stable with training yards. Wild boar and other game animals are known to frequent the land, and there’s a full game processing facility on site. And while Céspedes may have enjoyed some of these pastimes after his professional playing career, he didn’t give up baseball completely: the home is equipped with a state-of-the-art batting cage for practicing your swing.
The centerpiece of the property is the 15,785-square-foot main residence, which includes six bedrooms and four full baths. The ranch aesthetic is prevalent inside, with soaring ceilings and a massive stone fireplace anchoring the living room. More modern touches are found in the spacious chef’s kitchen and with an onyx bar.

Outside, there’s a large resort-style pool, which is both heated and covered. The screened-in patio has plenty of space for laid-back hangs and meals, with a full summer kitchen for easy prep. And while there are classic add-ons like a gym and a game/club room, Céspedes added one more special touch suited to his lifestyle—a private barber shop.
When it comes to real estate, the former Mets star is in good company, with many former MLBers opting to spend their retirements in sunny locales. For example, Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux spun his home in San Diego on the market for a cool $4 million, and Red Sox legend David Ortiz is parting ways with his custom-built Miami mansion for $11.5 million.
