It was put up for sale over a decade ago for $29m but it proved tough to sell.
Eventually, John Cooper snapped it up for $9.5m last year.
The real estate executive is now letting basketball lovers stay in the house via Airbnb.
At a cost of $100,000 a week, fans can "live like a legend" in a "private oasis" spread over 7.39 acres.
The stunning Highland Park pad boasts nine bedrooms and 17 bathrooms.
There is also a putting green, tennis court, basketball court, fishing pond, movie cinema, cigar lounge and aquariums.
And if that was not enough, don't forget the private barbershop, circular infinity pool, wine cellar, gym, bar as well as a range of other luxuries.
There is even a table in the dining room that is said to be resemble the map of Baghdad, which is the capital city of Iraq.
Beyond the gates that have Jordan's iconic number 23 written on them, Cooper has vowed to keep the historic identity of the property.
The basketball court, flags on the putting green and thermostat all have the Jumpman logo on them.
If you are lucky enough to have $100,000 to spare, you and 11 other guests can stay in the house providing you agree to the rules.
You must sign an NDA, not host parties, not bring pets and pay a $25,000 deposit.
No guests have stayed in the property but owner Cooper claims there has been interest.
Final details are being ironed out ahead of its first Airbnb stay.

Commanders cleared to build new stadium in D.C.
August 1 - After nearly three decades of playing in Maryland, the Washington Commanders have the green light to build a new $3.7 billion stadium in D.C. that should bring them back to the nation's capital by 2030. The D.C. Council voted 9-3 on Friday to ratify the deal between the city and the NFL team. The site of the new 174-acre complex will be the same as RFK Stadium, which remains in place even though the team moved out prior to the 1997 season. "This is a historic moment," Commanders managing partner Josh Harris said in a statement. "This project is about more than delivering a world-class stadium worthy of our players, fans and the region. It's about revitalizing a critical part of our city, creating thousands of jobs and unlocking long-term economic benefits for the District. We look forward to working with our fans, residents, community leaders and elected officials to deliver on this vision." The franchise enjoyed its finest years at the RFK site, which opened in 1961 as District of Columbia Stadium. During the team's 36 seasons at RFK, it won Super Bowls VII, XXII and XXVI while appearing in two more and earning eight other playoff appearances. Since former owner Dan Snyder moved the team to now-Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., in 1997, Washington has amassed just seven playoff appearances in 28 years. Last season's run to the NFC title game was the Commanders' first push past the divisional round since 1991. Snyder's decision to sell his team in 2022 - a move encouraged by the NFL - helped pave the way for the franchise's return to D.C. In addition, Harris indicated his willingness to foot more of the bill than most owners. According to details of the deal, the Commanders are expected to handle $2.7 billion of the stadium's cost along with any overruns. The District of Columbia will pay $1 billion, but much of that is expected to be recouped over the long haul in taxes and other revenue streams. --Field Level Media

Ex-Lakers star Anthony Davis puts stunning $40million mansion up for sale after being traded
Anthony Davis has put his stunning $40million Los Angeles mansion up for sale after being traded from the Lakers. In a stunning deal back in February, the 32-year-old was sent to the Dallas Mavericks as part of a blockbuster trade that saw Luka Doncic head the other way. Six months on, Davis is now looking for a buyer for his beautiful 17,254-square-foot estate located in a gated Bel Air Crest community. The property is listed on the website of luxury real estate agent Jordan Cohen, who has previously worked with a number of Los Angeles' top sports stars. The impressive estate is set on 3.5 acres of land and boasts panoramic views with 'exceptional privacy' for any A-lister who may be looking to move in. The 8-bed, 12-bath mansion has a state of art theater, a games room, wine cellar and gym - along with a separate massage room - built inside the property. There's also an Olympic sized swimming pool in the garden for any avid swimmers who want to make the most of the properties amenities. With so much land to play with, there's also a tennis court, an outdoor kitchen for chefs, a batting cage and an outdoor wellness center with a cold plunge and sauna. One can imagine that Davis will be sad to part ways with the stunning property, which has only come as a result of his shock trade to the Dallas Mavericks. The 10-time All-Star is currently sidelined after undergoing surgery to repair a detached retina at the start of the month. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the 32-year-old suffered the injury during the season and played through several hits to his face. However, Davis is expected to be fully healthy for the Mavericks' next training camp. Having selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, Dallas will be hoping Davis and Kyrie Irving can combine with the rookie to make them serious contenders. Davis' deal has a $62.8 million player option for the 2027-28 season before he becomes a free agent. Davis' 2024-25 season saw him limited to 51 games due to injuries, including just nine with the Mavericks following the controversial trade. 'It's an emotional day. [My] first game here in Dallas,' Davis said postgame. Just from the standpoint of being with a new team, first time putting the uniform on, so a lot of emotions before game time. 'My leg got tight, like a little spasm,' he said of the injury. 'Just trying to get it loose, but it's nothing serious.'

White Sox reinstate RHP Shane Smith from 15-day IL, will start tonight
August 2 - The Chicago White Sox reinstated right-handed pitcher Shane Smith from the 15-day injured list ahead of the team's series opener at the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Chicago also selected the contract of outfielder Corey Julks from Triple-A Charlotte and optioned outfielder Will Robertson to Triple-A. Smith, 25, landed on the injured list retroactive to July 16 with a left ankle sprain. The White Sox returned him to the rotation immediately as he was slotted to start Friday's game against the Angels. Smith was 3-7 with a 4.26 ERA and 81 strikeouts across 18 starts for the White Sox before hitting the injured list. Thanks to a fast start that led to a 2.37 ERA through his first 13 starts, Smith became the first Chicago rookie pitcher to be selected to the AL All-Star team. The 29-year-old Julks joins the White Sox after batting .295 with 10 home runs and 46 RBIs over 87 games with Charlotte this season. He played in 66 games with Chicago a year ago, hitting .214 with three homers and 14 RBIs. Robertson, 27, made four appearances for the White Sox this year, going 0-for-6 with four strikeouts. In 2025, which includes three other games with Toronto, Robertson is 1-for-16 at the plate. Chicago acquired the outfielder from the Blue Jays on July 10 in exchange for cash considerations. --Field Level Media
