NBA fans can be like Mike in the most over-the-top way possible by renting Michael Jordan’s lavish former Chicago-area estate on AirBNB Luxe.
The 56,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom, 17 1/2 bathroom mansion in Highland Park previously spent a rather astonishing 12 years on the market, and is now available to rent for about $120,000 a night. The property previously sold for about $9.5 million (that’s about the previous expected asking price for six pairs of Jordan’s championship game-worn sneakers.
A select few can indulge in the best of the best across the board, with a suite of amenities including a regulation-size basketball court, a professional golf putting green and a lavish entertainment lounge. Befitting the basketball superstar’s game-changing career, the list of amenities assuredly runs deep.
“His Airness” built the 7.39-acre estate “with privacy, security, and luxury in mind,” as the property is both fenced and gated, surrounded by lush pines outside of Jordan’s beloved Chicago. A movie theater, wine cellar, cigar lounge complement the handsome property, along with gaming tables and pool tables and a saltwater aquarium.
What’s being called “short-term luxury stays” are now the name of the game at Champions Point, as the listing requires a $25,000 security deposit, the signing of a liability waiver and a 7-night minimum stay (all the better to take in the property’s plentiful luxury amenities and design features, of course).
There’s also a swimming pool and nearby lake access, not to mention a hot tub, a fitness center, a tennis court and a putting green. Reports indicate that renting the lavish, enviable space for a month could cost as much as $150,000, but that also leaves plenty of time to bask in the Champions Point zero-edge Infinity pool or fish in ponds stocked to the gills with bass and bluegill.
The AirBNB Luxe listing for Champions Point also indicates a salon and multiple bars dotting the property, the sort of value-added features that make the property more than worthy of its lofty price tag. If living like Michael Jordan is part of your vision board, consider living like a legend (if only briefly) at Champions Point.
