Michael Jordan’s former Chicago-area mansion lists for March Madness — at $230K/month

If you’ve got $230,000 to burn, Michael Jordan’s former Highland Park, Illinois mansion can be yours — for the month of March, at least. 

After sitting on the market for an exhausting 12 years, the sprawling estate is finally being put to use.

The property, now rebranded as Champions Point, is available as a super-high-end rental for basketball fanatics looking to immerse themselves in luxury during March Madness, according to Realtor.com.

Jordan originally built the 7-acre compound in the early ‘90s with his then-wife, Juanita Vanoy, but spent more than a decade trying to offload it.

Jordan first listed the spread in 2012 for a staggering $29 million, but after years of price cuts and failed sales, real estate investor John Cooper finally scooped it up in December for $9.5 million — less than a third of the original asking price.

Now, Cooper has big plans. 

He recently announced a unique investment opportunity, selling million-dollar stakes in the property that would grant shareholders one week of residency per year.

“It’s an opportunity to own a piece of history and bring sports enthusiasts together through a unique co-ownership model,” Cooper previously said in a statement.

But before that kicks off, he’s turning it into an ultra-exclusive rental. 

For $230,000 — paid upfront, plus a $50,000 refundable deposit — tenants get full access to the 32,000-square-foot mansion, complete with a regulation-size indoor basketball court, a professional-grade gym and an outdoor infinity pool. 

“A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rent this gated, world-class estate, meticulously designed for those who live and breathe sports,” the rental listing says.

Made up of nine bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, other amenities include a putting green, a tennis court, a home theater, and even a cigar lounge decked out with a humidor and leather poker tables.

Beyond the estate’s walls, renters can explore miles of scenic trails in the neighboring nature preserve or indulge in top-tier dining options in nearby Highland Park, Highwood and Lake Forest.
