Michael Jordan Planning Mega-Mansion in Jupiter, FL

September 30, 2009

It looks like former NBA superstar Michael Jordan will put down some roots in Palm Beach County, Florida. Like, really, really deep roots with a home of nearly 38,000 square feet, 11 bedrooms, an elevator, a ginormous fireplace, grand stairway, cottage, and guard gate, according to Jose Lambiet of the Palm Beach Post.

Sir Air made some headlines this past March when he purchased a Miami home with Cuban model/girlfriend Yvette Prieto for $281,000 in a very average-looking, down-to-earth neighborhood in The Hammocks section of Miami.

But, this latest Jordan real estate entry is a 180-degree flip from the Miami purchase. Jordan purchased two adjacent lots totaling 3 acres at The Bears club, an exclusive and gated golf community, for $4.803 million back in February. Located at 172 Bears Club Road, Jupiter FL, Jordan’s home — once completed — will sit on the 10th hole of the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course.

The cost for Jordan’s mansion is estimated to be $7,627,669.

Speaking of big houses, do you want to see the largest house in the U.S.?
