While we don't know exactly how much Sanders paid for his slice of Rocky Mountain paradise, the home is on the market for $3.97 million.

The mansion sits on 6,457 square feet in the exclusive Meadow Green Farm community in Boulder County.

The gated community was designed with outdoor recreation in mind, centred around a private 40-acre lake where residents can fish, swim or sail.

After Sanders left his head coaching position at Jackson State for Colorado, the former star defensive end put his luxury farmhouse in Canton, Mississippi, up for sale for $1.5 million.

If you're a buyer looking for a home with big league pedigree, Sanders' Mississippi retreat is still available.

The star coach even recently shared a personal tour of his new home on YouTube.

Built in 2016, Sanders' four-bedroom property is located on approximately 2.5 acres near Boulder, Colorado.

The yard is dotted with beautiful gardens and 50 fruit trees, including apples, cherries, pears and figs.

A circular driveway leads to the main house, which is surrounded by lush landscaping.

Exposed beamed ceilings and dark wood floors bring inviting elegance to the spacious living and dining areas.

The huge kitchen boasts high-end appliances and a large centre island with stone worktops and seating area above.

The bright master suite includes an exposed stone wall, a fireplace, a wall of windows and a private terrace with views of the Langfang. A huge bathroom is equipped with a soaking tub and double vanity.

On the lower level, there is a state-of-the-art media room. Other luxury highlights include Savant whole house automation, and geothermal heating and cooling. The windows throughout the home are flooded with natural light.

Sanders has been busy recruiting and trying to bring the languishing Colorado football program back from the dead. He has acquired a large group of highly regarded prospects and it will be interesting to see how Coach Sanders fares in the Pac-12.
