Video: Michael Jordan’s up-for-sale house is pretty awesome. It would want to be for $29 million

Thankfully the asking price has dropped to a more manageable $21 million.

The NBA legend will be putting his 56,000 square-foot former home under the hammer later this month and it really is quite something. While we are being constantly told that now is a good time to get on the property ladder in this country, should you wish to up the ante quite considerably further afield, cast your eye on this for a pad. “Some of the best things in the world are sold at auction, and I’ve seen that this is the beginning of a trend for selling unique, one-of-a-kind homes,” Jordan was quoted as saying in relation to the home. Jordan initially listed the 7.4-acre estate at $29 million in February 2012 before the price later came down to $21 million. Dripping with luxury, the home has been tailored to his every want and need. Outlandish swimming pool, putting green out the front, ultimate in home entertainment. The dining room even comes complete a kitchen table with a design of the city of Baghdad. Why? We haven’t a notion, but if it’s good enough for him, it is good enough for us. While we would like to keep up with the Jones’, we can confirm that JOE will not be present at the auction, so while we won’t be putting in an offer, here is what awaits the highest bidder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lf_w0olusA
