Sarah Palin is selling her ultra-lavish 8,000-square-foot Arizona compound for $2.4 million

Former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is putting her enormous Scottsdale, Arizona, mansion up for sale.

The nearly 5-acre gated compound includes an enormous 8,000-square-foot main house flanked by a full-size lighted basketball court, a pool and spa house, and a hot tub.

The home last changed hands in 2011 for $1.695 million, according to public records obtained by the LA Times. Assuming Palin was the most recent buyer, and the house sells for at least its asking price, she'll make a tidy profit.

Richard F. Barker of Keller Williams Arizona Realty has the listing.
