The rental lists seven bedrooms and 17.5 bathrooms. It costs $105,514 for a stay from Aug. 2-9 (about $15,000 per day) and increases to $120,920 from Aug. 29-Sept. 5 (about $17,000 a day).
The property didn’t have any bookings as of Tuesday, per NBC News.
“Live like a legend at 2700 Point Ln!” the description for “Champions Point Legendary Listing” posted by John reads. “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.”
Photos of the property highlight the pool, living room, full kitchen and dining area, seven bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms and five half-bathrooms.
The property contains an entrance gate with Jordan’s iconic “23” plastered on it.
Also featured is an indoor basketball court.
“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 listing reads.
“Inside, enjoy your movie theatre, commercial gym, cigar lounge, wine cellar, pool tables, bars, salon, salt water aquariums, and full basketball court!”
The 62-year-old Jordan sold the 56,000-foot property last year after listing it for more than a decade.
He lived at the property during his time with the Bulls, a team he helped win six titles with in the 1990s.
Jordan originally valued the property at $29 million after listing it on the market in 2012. The asking price was lowered to just under $15 million in 2015.
John Cooper, of Lincoln, Neb., bought the property last year for $9.5 million, scoring it for less than one-third of the original asking price.
“I remember seeing the home for sale and thinking how cool it would be for the person that buys the home,” Cooper, a general partner at Han Capital, told the Lincoln Journal Star last year.
Cooper said at the time he did not plan to live at the property and would have “exciting plans” to announce in January.
“I am still considering many different uses for the property,” Cooper said to NBC News in a statement. “Some great uses require zoning relief, but in the meantime, short-term rentals are a permitted use to bring exposure to the property and generate some revenue.”
