When it comes to motorsport dynasties, few names resonate as strongly as the Andrettis. Michael Andretti, a former IndyCar champion and the son of legendary racer Mario Andretti, has solidified his family’s legacy in racing, both on the track and through his successful ventures as a team owner. As he eases into retirement, Michael and his wife Jodi Ann Andretti, a model and former Playboy Playmate, are swapping the Midwest’s serene landscapes for the opulent lifestyle of Florida.

Michael has put his sprawling Indiana lakefront mansion on the market for a cool $12 million. This move follows closely on the heels of their purchase of a lavish 17,000-square-foot waterfront estate in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for $27 million.

Indiana Estate Asking $12 Million

Andretti’s Indiana estate, a testament to luxury and comfort, spans over five acres with breathtaking views of the Geist Reservoir. Originally constructed in the 1990s, the chateau-style property underwent a significant transformation after Andretti acquired it for nearly $2.2 million in 2016. Collaborating with the Palladium Group, the couple modernized the home, enhancing it with custom stonework, arched windows, and expansive outdoor living spaces.

The three-story mansion boasts nine bedrooms and twelve bathrooms. Its centerpiece is a vaulted living room with a fireplace, offering panoramic vistas of the lake. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with a 14-foot island, an Italian Ilve range, and a separate caterer’s kitchen. A retractable glass wall reveals a covered veranda complete with automated screens. Entertainment and relaxation options abound, with a movie theater, a 700-bottle wine cellar, a 15-seat bar, a fitness center, and even a children’s play cottage. The property also features a detached carriage house containing two 900-square-foot guest apartments and three climatized garages, providing ample space for over a dozen cars.

Outside, the estate offers resort-style amenities that include a 50-foot pool, a spa, waterfalls, fire features, a waterslide, and a three-slip boat dock. Additionally, architectural plans for a 4,400-square-foot sports facility are ready for those looking to expand further. For a glimpse into this luxurious abode, here’s a video tour:

Fast forward to August 2025, Michael and Jodi Ann Andretti embraced an elevated lifestyle by acquiring a 17,033-square-foot mansion in Fort Lauderdale for $27.375 million. Nestled on 1.09 acres along the Intracoastal Waterway, this nine-bedroom estate, constructed in 2004, was previously owned by Patrick K. Willis, the Nevada businessman known for founding American Recovery Services.

The $27 Million Fort Lauderdale Mansion

In August 2025, Andretti and his wife upgraded to a new level of luxury when they purchased a 17,033-square-foot mansion in Fort Lauderdale for $27.375 million. Built in 2004 and located on 1.09 acres along the Intracoastal Waterway, the nine-bedroom estate was sold to the couple by Patrick K. Willis, the Nevada businessman behind American Recovery Services.

The home, which more than doubled in value since its previous sale for $12.5 million in 2021, offers nearly every imaginable amenity: a putting green, full bar, media room, gym, elevator, basketball hoop, conference room, and a resort-style pool with cabana terraces and dock access. The property’s price, at roughly $1,600 per square foot, ranks among the top luxury sales in Fort Lauderdale this year. Here’s a video tour:

Racing Legacy

Michael Andretti carved out one of the most successful careers in American open-wheel racing, amassing 42 wins and securing the 1991 CART championship before briefly competing in Formula One. After retiring as a driver, he founded Andretti Autosport, which has since won five Indianapolis 500s and four IndyCar Series championships. His father, Mario Andretti, remains one of the sport’s all-time greats, while his son, Marco, continues the family tradition as an IndyCar driver.

Though the family’s Indiana compound may soon have a new owner, the Andrettis’ next chapter appears set against the sun-drenched backdrop of South Florida — a fitting home base for one of racing’s most enduring names.
