When businessman John Cooper purchased Michael Jordan’s iconic mansion for $9.5 million back in December, it was seen as quite the deal, considering the original asking price was nearly $15 million.
However, Cooper’s plans to rent the property have faced some challenges, leading to significant price cuts.
Initial Plans and Rental Struggles
Cooper, who acquired the lavish nine-bedroom, 19-bathroom estate after a lengthy 13-year wait, hoped to rent it out for a hefty sum of $230,000 a month. Unfortunately, the high price failed to attract a tenant.
As a result, he has had to reduce the rental price, now offering it for $150,000 per month in an effort to entice potential renters.
A Sports Lover’s Dream Home
The property, now rebranded as “Champions Point,” is marketed as a dream residence for sports enthusiasts.
The listing highlights the mansion’s luxurious amenities, which include a basketball court, putting green, tennis court, and a fully equipped gym.
But that’s not all—the estate also features an infinity pool, a private theatre, a wine cellar, and even a cigar room.
The Champions Point website promises an “immersive, one-of-a-kind experience” for those who appreciate both luxury living and sports.
It describes the property as “more than just a residence” and a “haven for sports lovers,” offering a unique opportunity to live surrounded by the thrill of various athletic pursuits.
With all these incredible features, it’s clear that this mansion was designed to cater to the ultimate sports fan, though it remains to be seen if the adjusted price will attract a tenant.
