The listing read: "NBA Superstar Michael Jordan's seven-acre estate is as legendary as His Airness himself.
"The 56,000 square foot property, equipped with every conceivable luxury amenity, is a physical monument to his tireless dedication and hard work.
“The custom-designed property includes a regulation-sized basketball gymnasium, circular infinity pool, putting green, tennis court, and cigar room, each with Jordan's signature touch."

The estate has nine bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, while it costs $148,000 (£117,000) annually in tax.
Jordan first bought the land in 1991, while he was still playing with the Chicago Bulls, and he moved into the home in 1994.
It’s not the only property Jordan has sold in the past few years. In 2023, the NBA icon sold his luxury Chicago condo for $6.82million (£5.4million).
The home combined three units over the property’s 39th and 40th floors.

The same year, Jordan agreed to sell his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall for approximately $3billion (£2.38billion). The sale ended his 13-year run as majority owner in the NBA.
