The most impressive Denver Nuggets-related acquisition this off-season might be head coach Michael Malone's new home in Highlands Ranch.

The six-bed, nine-bath property sold for $6.8 million in June and includes nearly 9,000 feet of living space complete with a a finished basement. There's plenty of room for entertaining, along with an array of lofts and balconies.

Malone is under contract with the Nuggets through the 2026-2027 NBA season after signing a contract extension last fall that made him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NBA. He's already the fourth-most-tenured coach in the league, having been with the team since 2015, so it's safe to say Malone considers Colorado his home despite hailing from New York.

His new house has impressive outdoor spaces, including a fire pit, pool and a pickleball court. (When the Nuggets won their NBA Championship in 2023, Malone coached many games with a cut on his forehead that he allegedly sustained playing the paddle sport that has swept the nation enveloped in controversy.)

The house also has a fully outfitted kitchen with what appears to be a Wolf Gourmet Range, favored by boujie home cooks and known for its distinctive red knobs. Along with a bar area lined with wine fridges, the home also has a temperature-controlled wine cellar.

According to the Zillow listing, there's even an elevator that connects the ground floor to the master suite.

The basement has both hangout space and gym space. Listing photos include Colorado Rockies and Colorado Avalanche merchandise, so the house was clearly designed with a sports fan in mind.

Said house is in a gated community, so don't get any ideas about stopping by for a visit. Instead, enjoy these photos while we wait for the 2024-2025 NBA season to start.
