Von Miller's Old Foxfield Mansion Slides Back Into Foreclosure

Fifteen bathrooms. Nine bedrooms. A movie theater, a game room, a wrap-around bar, an eight-car garage, and a basketball court in the basement.

That is the house at 17819 E. Easter Ave. in Foxfield, and right now it is the center of a three-way pileup: a foreclosure, a personal bankruptcy, and a lawsuit from the town itself. All happening at once. Buckle up, because this one is a case study in how a creative deal can come apart.

Most people do not even know Foxfield exists. It is a tiny town wedged between Aurora and Parker in Arapahoe County, close enough to Broncos HQ that a linebacker could roll out of bed and be at practice. Which is exactly what makes this address interesting.

The Von Miller connection

Von Miller played for Denver from 2011 to 2021. He still holds the franchise record for career sacks, so his name carries weight around here. In December 2022 he sold this 19,000-square-foot place for $3.7 million to a buyer named Oluwole Jolaoso.

But here is the part people miss. Miller did not just hand over the keys and walk away with a check. He financed the deal himself. Seller financing. Miller lent Jolaoso 80% of the purchase price, a $3 million loan, and Jolaoso put down roughly $700,000.

In a normal-rate market that can work fine. In the market we have been living in, where borrowing money got expensive fast, these arrangements have a way of getting stress-tested. And this one did almost immediately.

Miller already tried this once

Here is the wild part. Miller filed to foreclose on Jolaoso back in 2023, less than a year after selling him the house. He dropped that bid in February 2024 after the two sides worked out a loan modification.

So the current mess is basically round two. Except Von Miller is not the one holding the note anymore.

FirsTier Bank, a Broomfield-based regional lender, started foreclosure in late June 2026 on the home. FirsTier's attorney, Eric Jonsen of the firm Michael Best & Friedrich, said the reason was simple. Missed payments.

The timing is the thing that gets me. The bank filed one week after Arapahoe County District Judge Benjamin Todd Figa ruled the property cannot be used as a short-term rental or a wedding venue. Figa sided with the town of Foxfield, which had sued.

Think about what that ruling does. If you buy a 19,000-square-foot party house with a wrap-around bar and a basketball court, you are probably not planning to just live quietly in it. You are picturing weddings, events, short-term rental income. The judge closed that door. A week later the foreclosure landed. That is not a coincidence, that is cause and effect.

The money does not work

Jolaoso filed for personal bankruptcy in October 2025. And the numbers he listed tell the whole story.

He reported

And this was not his only property. Jolaoso indicated he owns 10 other homes in the Denver area, nearly all of them rented out, plus a property under construction in Nigeria. He valued most of those local homes at less than $500,000 each. So this is a guy running a real portfolio, and the Foxfield mansion was the trophy piece at the top of it. The trophy piece is also the one that broke.

The Frank Clark chapter

There is one more subplot here, and it is very Broncos.

In July 2023, Jolaoso leased the mansion to Frank Clark, who played for the Broncos that fall. So you had one Bronco selling the house, and a current Bronco renting it. Then in 2024 Jolaoso sued Clark, alleging he abandoned the property.

I mean, honestly, at some point you stop tracking the players and just watch the lawsuits pile up.

Why this one matters

Here is the real story on this. Seller financing is having a moment right now, and for good reason. When bank rates are high, a motivated seller carrying the note can make a deal pencil out that would not otherwise happen. Buyers love it. Sellers get a sale plus interest income.

But the risk does not disappear. It just moves. When the payments stop, the seller is now a lender chasing a foreclosure, which is exactly the spot Miller was in back in 2023. And if the seller sells that note or the arrangement gets refinanced, the next lender inherits the problem, which is where FirsTier is standing today.

Layer a town lawsuit on top, one that kills the income model the buyer was counting on, and you get a full collapse instead of a rough patch.

So watch this address. A 19,000-square-foot house with 15 bathrooms and a basement court does not have a huge buyer pool in a town most people have never heard of. Where it lands, and what it fetches, is going to tell us something real about the top of this market.

I will be watching. Hayley already asked if the basketball court comes with it.
