A basketball fan's dream vacation: Michael Jordan's one-time Chicago mansion listed on Airbnb

A mansion in the Chicago area, once owned by legendary NBA player Michael Jordan, is now available for rent on Airbnb, allowing affluent travelers to experience a stay akin to that of a six-time champion.

According to the Airbnb listing, Champions Point is a seven-bedroom, 17.5-bath estate on 7.39 acres that can accommodate 14 guests.

Situated in Highland Park, Illinois, this property comes with a hefty price and necessitates a minimum stay of seven nights. For instance, a week-long retreat during the Labor Day weekend, from August 29 to September 5, carries a cost of $120,920.

The estate boasts amenities like a movie theatre, a commercial gym, a cigar lounge, a wine cellar, pool tables, bars, a salon, saltwater aquariums, and, naturally, a full-size basketball court.

“This estate was built with privacy, security, and luxury in mind — a private oasis on 7.39 acres surrounded by mature pines, fenced and gated,” according to the listing.

The property was purchased by real estate investor John Cooper for $9.5 million late last year. The Airbnb listing says the house is “Hosted by John. ” The owner did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Enjoy putting on your professional-grade putting green, fishing in your private pond stocked with bass and bluegill, and swimming in your zero-entry infinity edge pool.”

The property is about 27 miles north of the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls and once the workplace of NBA icon Michael Jordan.

He led the Bulls to six world titles in a pair of three-peats, 1991-93 and 1996-98.

Jordan’s 41,010 career regular-season points are fifth all-time, trailing only LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, and the late Kobe Bryant.

The five-time MVP Jordan’s average of 30.1 points per game is No. 1 in NBA history.
