    Patrick Mahomes’s Ranch-Style Manse in Kansas City Just Hit the Market for $3 Million

    Chiefs fans, don’t panic. Patrick Mahomes isn’t leaving Kansas City, he’s just parting ways with one of his Missouri properties. 

    The quarterback recently put a ranch-style retreat on the market for just shy of $3 million, Dirt reported. Back in 2019, Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, shelled out a cool $1.9 million for the three-bed, five-bath pad and have since given the digs a whopping $400,000 makeover. Dating back to the ‘50s, the house sits on over an acre in the city’s swanky Country Club District and measures 4,800 square feet. Of course, you don’t have to be a sports enthusiast to buy this place but assuming you fit the bill, there’s a putting green in the backyard to practice your golf game plus a heated swimming pool. 

    Inside, the midcentury spread has been redone from top-to-bottom. Think contemporary hardwood floors, built-ins galore, and tons of windows throughout. A few of the highlights include an updated sunroom that feels super bright and airy, along with an open-concept living and dining area, and a family room complete with a stone fireplace and a wet bar. Nearby, the chef’s kitchen is just as impressive, equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and an eat-in island.  

    If you’re keen on entertaining, the finished basement offers up a host of amenities. Downstairs, you’ll find a screening room, a wine cellar, a lounge, and yet another bar. If you’re a self-proclaimed sneakerhead like the two-time Super Bowl champion, you’ll appreciate that the primary suite comes with not one but two walk-in closets. It helps that the bedrooms also have a massive soaking tub and shower. 

    Even though Mahomes has officially listed his primary residence, he still counts a two-bedroom Kansas City condo and a Texas mega-manse as part of his real-estate portfolio. The NFL MVP also reportedly snagged an eight-acre parcel in Loch Lloyd and has plans to erect a custom estate and a half- field where he can hone his skills in the off-season.

    Ryan Reynolds Bought a Home in a Small Welsh Village to Be Closer to His Wrexham Soccer Team

    Has Ryan Reynolds turned into the real-life Ted Lasso? After buying half of the Wrexham professional soccer club, he’s now reportedly ready to put down roots across the pond. 

    According to The Sun, residents of Marford, a small village in Wales, are losing their minds over the possibility that Reynolds could be their neighbor. The Deadpool star reportedly snapped up a quaint, four-bedroom cottage for £1.5 million ($1.8 million) a mere five miles from Wrexham, where he’ll be just a short distance away from his team.

    “Ryan is moving to Marford, and it’s all the locals can talk about,” a source told the British newspaper. “His house is on the poshest road. It might not be the Big Apple, but the red carpet will be rolled out when Ryan comes to town.” 

    Reynolds bought Wrexham AFC in February 2021 along with good friend and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator, Rob McElhenney. The Hollywood hotshots scooped up the struggling fifth-division club together for £2 million (about $2.5 million) and since then have invested in rebuilding the team’s roster and reviving the local community. They even went as far as to film their takeover in an 18-episode docuseries entitled Welcome to Wrexham, the second season of which is expected to be released on FX later this year.

    On Monday, the pair celebrated a massive 3-2 win over rival Notts County. The victory brings Wrexham one step closer to promotion from the National League into the English League, which has been Reynolds and McElhenney’s goal from the very beginning (pun intended). “The plan is now, and has always been, the Premier League,” Reynolds told the BBC back in January. “I can’t really put a date on that. But if it’s theoretically possible to go from fifth division to Premier League, why wouldn’t we do it?”   More

    Trae Young’s New $20 Million LA Mansion Comes With a Safe Room and 800-Gallon Fish Tank

    An NFL all-pro has handed his home over to an NBA all-star.

    Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has bought the Los Angeles-area mansion built by the former Green Bay Packer great Clay Matthews, according to new reporting from The Wall Street Journal. Previously, the buyer had been unknown, but thanks to property records and people familiar with the deal, the Journal was able to find out that Young is the anonymous new homeowner.

    The 14,000-square-foot Calabasas mansion was built by Matthews and his wife in the French Provincial style. The couple had initially planned for it to be their “forever home,” but they reconsidered their plans once Matthews was released by the Los Angeles Rams. Now Young gets to enjoy the (very plentiful) fruits of their labor.

    Along with its seven bedroom and all the usual accoutrements, the property has a host of amazing amenities. There’s a home theater, a wine cellar and a wood-paneled game room with a billiards table. On the more unusual side, a secret door in the library leads to a safe room and one of the walls features an 800-gallon saltwater aquarium (Matthews had originally wanted it to take up the whole wall, but he downsized at his wife’s request). A spokesperson for the listing told The Wall Street Journal in 2021, when the home was first listed, that the couple would consider parting with the fish along with the property. It wasn’t revealed whether Young had taken them up on the offer.

    To full take advantage of LA weather, the outside of the house also includes some pretty incredible additions. Of course, given the athlete ownership, there’s a sports court, but there’s also a large pool, a goldfish pond, a rose garden, an orchard, a fire pit and a pergola. That gives you plenty of options for unwinding after a long workout or some time spent shooting hoops.

    The Matthewses purchased the land for the home for only $2.6 million in 2013. When they first listed the property, they were asking a cool $30 mil, but the price dropped a couple of times before Young bought it for $20 million. Given the fact that the baller currently plays for the Atlanta Hawks, it’s unclear whether this will be his forever home either. But it appears he has a new off-season abode.

    Terry Bradshaw Is Selling His Sprawling Oklahoma Ranch for $22.5 Million

    Apparently, even The Bradshaw Bunch needs to downsize.  

    A massive working ranch on the Oklahoma-Texas border belonging to legendary Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw is officially back on the market. But if you want to get your hands on the sportscaster-turned-reality TV star’s pastoral digs, you’ll have to go deep—into your wallet, that is. The 744-acre property is currently listed for $22.5 million after a buyer recently “failed to follow through, perform, fund and close the transaction,” according to brokers Icon Global. 

    It took decades for the four-time Super Bowl winner to build up his gigantic estate, which comprises a stately main residence, eight lakes, horse stables, cattle pens, riding trails and livestock breeding facilities. The ranch sits just north of the Red River, directly between Oklahoma City and Dallas/Fort Worth.

    “Tammy and I are both sad to leave this great big ranch and our wonderful home which has been our idyllic retreat of so many years, however, it is time that we slowed down a little, freeing us up to travel more, as well as enjoy new grandchildren, family, and other interests,” Bradshaw said in a press statement. 

    The ranch spans just shy of 800 acres.

    The sprawling main house, which offers 8,600 square feet of living space, exudes rustic charm with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, brick stone fireplaces and wood paneling. There are six bedrooms and eight bathrooms in total, plus a spacious outdoor patio with its own kitchen, bar, fire pit and sauna. There’s also a free-form swimming pool and spa for outdoor get-togethers. On that note, your guests can make themselves at home in either the 2,600-square-foot manager’s house or a four-bedroom bunkhouse.

    The ranch is ideal for animal lovers, too. You’ll find a two-story doghouse and, of course, plenty of room for your canines to roam. If you’re more into horses, the ranch’s equestrian facilities are top-notch, with a 20-stall show barn, a 12-stall stallion barn, a 50-stall mare barn with a laboratory, plus a covered arena.

    Elsewhere, there are numerous trails that wind throughout the property and can be used for a range of recreational activities, including walking, horseback riding or four-wheeling. Considering Bradshaw and his wife have been “inundated with requests to sell” over the years, any interested buyers best move fast.
