For a lover of tennis, what could be more tantalizing than the prospect of having one's own
private court? No reservations to make; no errant balls flying into the middle of a crucial point. Just walk right on and hit balls to your heart's content.
This spacious-seeming backyard
hardcourt is up for grabs in Beverly Hills for just shy of $13 million. So what if the bloated mansion attached to it looks like a demented antebellum wedding cake? Tear it down! Maybe the sub-prime mortgage boo-boo will bring the price on this one down to earth a little. Stay tuned!
Racqonteur is always on the prowl for luscious slices of land covered in clay, grass or concrete and topped of with a three foot high net. Tennis maniacs of means will surely appreciate this substantial cottage on the north shore of New York's Long Island, particularly for the fact that it includes this woodsy private court nestled right up against the sound. Imagine a zen-like hour of hitting practice serves out of a hopper on a warm early fall afternoon with the sound of the water splashing in the background. You can do exactly that for a smidge under $15 million. Place your order here. Operators are standing by.
