Retired San Francisco Giant Buster Posey sold his Lafayette mansion for $9.3 million, nine years after buying it in the wake of his second World Series title.

The seven-time All-Star, who played his full 12-year career with the Giants, paid $4.6 million in 2013 for the home at 3985 North Peardale Drive, the Mercury News reported. It was an off-market sale for the 6,038-square-foot, six-bedroom, five-bathroom home, about 30 minutes west of San Francisco.

The home is on just under one acre, enclosed by a custom white-wood electric gate flanked by stone columns. Posey, 34, is moving back to his home state of Georgia, though he’ll return to Oracle Park on May 7 for Buster Posey Day.
