Basketball star Matt Geiger is selling his party house near St. Petersburg, Fla., because he and his girlfriend are expecting their second child.

The 28,000-square-foot house isn’t baby friendly, says Toni Everett, founder of the Toni Everett Co., which has listed the home. For one thing, the master bedroom and the other bedrooms aren’t on the same floor.

What it does have are 40 televisions, 18 of them wired with Xbox; a putting green; a man-made lake stocked with 2,500 bass; and a herd of livestock including 12 buffalo, 11 Watussi, two donkeys, a miniature horse and one cow.

The swimming pool holds 330,000 gallons of water and has a central lava pit. One of the hot tubs has a built-in checkerboard. There are several lavish bars, a DJ station and dance floor, a pizza oven and a cigar room. Plenty of partiers can be accommodated in the 5,200-square-foot guest house.

The house is listed at $19.9 million and Everett says she has already shown it twice. “I don’t think it’s going to be too hard to sell,” she says. “In many ways it is a perfect house for a couple who entertains.”

Geiger has played basketball for the Miami Heat, the Charlotte Hornets, and the Philadelphia 76ers,
