Retired Broncos player listing Cherry Hills Farm mansion for almost $10 million

Retired Denver Broncos offensive lineman Orlando Franklin is putting his Cherry Hills Farm mansion on the market for $9.95 million.

He and his wife Kiaana – the daughter of former Broncos’ running backs coach Bobby Turner – initially bought the seven-bed, 11-bath house at 4936 S. Fillmore Court in Englewood for $3.1 million last September. They’re set to list it on Thursday.

The family will remain in the Denver area, “ideally” staying in Cherry Hills Village. With both a 19-month-old and 4-year-old, Franklin and his spouse are looking for more land.

“We both love Colorado; we both love the outdoors,” Franklin said in a Tuesday telephone interview.

The Franklin family is in good company when it comes to Broncos who settle down in the neighborhood. New quarterback Russell Wilson made a record purchase in buying a $25 million mansion on Cherry Hills Park Drive — the most put down for a residential property in the Denver area.

The S. Fillmore Court mansion, which spans almost 14,400 square feet, includes a designer kitchen, a movie theater, a “man cave,” a six-car garage, salt water fish tanks, a golf simulator and more. It was built in 1995.

“I challenge anybody to show me a house that’s 15,000 square feet that’s fully updated in Cherry Hills that hasn’t been built in the last four years,” Franklin said, adding that he put over $3 million in renovations into the property. He highlighted glass brought in from California and flooring from Florida.

“What you’re going to get at this property is the feel of Miami/California; you’re not going to get Colorado at all from it,” Franklin said. “The crazy and unique thing about this house is that there’s a surprise at every corner that you turn.”

This isn’t Franklin’s first real estate venture in the Cherry Hills Village area. He and Kiaana sold their previous six-bed, nine-bath house at 41 Cherry Hills Farm Drive for almost $4 million last September, according to a deed filed with Arapahoe County.

The listing agents for the S. Fillmore Court property are Delroy Gill and Stuart Crowell with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
