Eight-bedroom mansion in Salt Lake to sell May 19

Karl Malone's former residence will go on an absolute auction on that date, meaning it will go to the highest bidder that day, no mater the bid amount.

The former NBA star's eight-bedroom mansion -- featuring half a basketball court and an indoor archery range -- has sat unsold on the real estate market for 17 months. Buyers didn't make a move even after Malone, who played 19 years in the NBA before retiring last month, lowered the price from $6.1 million to $5.7 million.

The log and stone home on two acres was built in 1997 in a gated community in the foothills high above Salt Lake City in the style of a hunting lodge, complete with a soaring 30-foot-high river rock fireplace. It has five fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen and bar, game room, an outdoor pool with a 100-foot water slide and pool house.
