The Colts dealt with a somber offseason that saw the loss of their longtime owner. Jim Irsay, who has led the franchise since 1997, died in his sleep at the age of 65. His passing marked the end of a chapter, as ownership is now in the hands of his three daughters. He was responsible for building the team from the ground up. “Jim’s dedication and passion for the Indianapolis Colts in addition to his generosity, commitment to the community, and most importantly, his love for his family were unsurpassed,” said COO Pete Ward in a heartfelt team statement.

And now, in a move that feels surreal, Irsay’s mansion, which he reportedly bought in the early 1990’s has quietly landed on the real estate market. And the price tag of $12M is indeed justified for the perks this property offers.

Sneak peek inside Jim Irsay’s home

The late Jim Irsay’s mansion has officially hit Zillow, and it’s already turning heads. The estate boasts six bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and a jaw-dropping 25,843 square feet of space. It is described as “A World-Class Private Estate in the Heart of Carmel,” and every word fits. The huge property is set across 9.4 gated acres and sits alongside the prestigious Crooked Stick Golf Club, a course known for its championship pedigree and Pete Dye design. It is the textbook definition of luxury.

The main residence alone spans more than 24,000 square feet. But that is only the beginning. The estate includes two separate guest houses. One is a new 2,700-square-foot cabin with three bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The other is a cozy cottage with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. From the moment you pass the gated guardhouse, privacy takes center stage.

The home is packed with high-end features. There are two expansive primary suites, seven fireplaces, and full nanny’s quarters with their own kitchen. Indoor amenities include a pool pavilion, a full basketball court, a home theater, and a hidden speakeasy. Outside, there is a resort-style pool, a tennis court with a viewing area, a Zen garden, and even a private par-3 golf hole. Parking? Six-car garage at the main home and two more spots at the gatehouse.

Zillow’s listing signs off with a fitting tribute: “Rarely does a property of this scale, provenance, and privacy become available – a true legacy estate in the heart of the Midwest.” In just one day, the listing has gone viral, with fans and collectors alike gawking at the grandeur.

Jim Irsay’s other prized possessions!

Jim Irsay’s real estate empire was just one slice of a unique legacy shaped throughout the years. With a net worth of $4.8 billion, as projected by Forbes, Irsay wasn’t just known for luxury homes. His prized possessions included cultural treasures like Jack Kerouac’s On the Road manuscript, bought for $2.43 million, and guitars from legends Jerry Garcia, Elvis Presley, and Paul McCartney. He even owned Ringo Starr’s original drum kit. Refusing to sell any piece—no matter the offer—he guarded a memorabilia collection estimated at over $1 billion. It was more than wealth. It was the soul and personality of Irsay.

But Irsay’s story wasn’t only about rare guitars and iconic manuscripts. He was vocal about his battles with mental health and unafraid to seek help. Just seven hours before his passing, he left a final post that echoed his hometown love. On X, he wrote, “Go PACERS. Good luck to Herb, the entire @Pacers organization, and our city! (arm flexing and heart emojis).” A farewell as heartfelt as the man himself, as the Irsay legacy remains entwined with the Colts.

Now the whole nation misses him!
