Hot Property: Mark Wahlberg's Beverly Hills home for sale for $15.9 million

The gated property has about 15,000 square feet, which includes a contemporary Mediterranean-style main house and a two-story guesthouse. The main house has a gym with a boxing ring -- did you think he maintains that physique by simply eating Cheerios? -- and a full basketball court. Wahlberg is a huge fan of the sport. The house also has a state-of-the-art home theater and a basketball court. There is a pool with a grotto and waterfall; it also has a putting green. There are five bedrooms and 10 1/2 bathrooms.

The tough kid from a rough part of Boston, Wahlberg debuted as a rap musician in 1991 and grew into an Academy Award-nominated actor. He had a brief stint as a model, gracing Calvin Klein billboards across America.

He is the executive producer of the HBO series "Entourage," which is based loosely on his Hollywood life, and of "In Treatment," also on HBO. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his supporting actor role in Martin Scorsese's thriller "The Departed," in 2006.

Before that he appeared in "Boogie Nights" (1997), "Three Kings" (1999), "The Perfect Storm" (2000) and "I Heart Huckabees" (2004).

Bruce Nelson of John Bruce Nelson & Associates in Bel-Air has the listing.
