Located in the exclusive enclave of Highland Park, Illinois, the former residence of basketball legend Michael Jordan is now a luxurious retreat perfect for fans of opulence, privacy, and the sport itself.
Recently sold for $9.5 million in December 2024, this magnificent property has just become available for booking on Airbnb. The current owner, real estate investor John Cooper, has transformed this iconic estate into a rental haven.
This expansive two-story mansion, constructed in 1995, boasts seven luxurious bedrooms and an impressive 17½ bathrooms. Among its enticing features are a full-sized basketball court, putting green, tennis court, a sumptuous cigar room, and a stunning infinity pool. A standout element of the property is its grand entrance gate, proudly displaying the number 23, a tribute to Jordan’s storied career with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards.
Guests wishing to experience this legendary estate, aptly named Champions Point, will need to book a minimum seven-night stay, accommodating up to 12 guests. Please note that a liability waiver and a nondisclosure agreement must be signed, alongside a hefty $25,000 security deposit.
While a week’s stay at this iconic property can exceed six figures, Cooper remains open to exploring various future uses for the estate. “I’m considering a plethora of possibilities for this property,” he commented. “Certain exciting options may require zoning adjustments, but for now, short-term rentals provide a great way to showcase the property while generating income.”
Spanning an impressive 32,683 square feet across 7 acres that Jordan originally purchased in 1991, this mansion first listed on the market on December 17, 2013, for $29 million. The recent sale reflects a dramatic 67% reduction in price after a 12-year listing period.
