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.

Scarlett Johansson is used to scare off wolves
American farmers are using the voice of Scarlett Johansson and rock music to scare wolves away from their cattle. Quadcopter drones blaring AC/DC and violent film scenes are being used by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to scare off wolves that have been preying on cattle in Oregon and California. The drones are equipped with thermal cameras that can spot wolves lurking in the darkness and shine a light on them. They also have a loudspeaker that broadcasts alarming noises including the sounds of fireworks, gunshots and people arguing. One recording is of the fight scene between Johansson and Adam Driver in the film Marriage Story. 'I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' Paul Wolf, a USDA district supervisor in Oregon, told The Wall Street Journal. Wolf population has soared in US Mr Wolf has led a government study since 2022 on using drones to frighten away the animals. It is the latest technological innovation in the fight to stop attacks by wolves in America's rural north west. The US wolf population has soared since they were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, in 1995, growing from 300 to around 6,000, excluding Alaska. As a result, attacks on cattle and sheep have shot up, with farmers often unable to harm the predators because of their protected status. Jim and Mary Rickert, who own Prather Ranch in California, have lost as many as 40 calves to wolf attacks over the past year. 'It's basically like driving through Burger King, easy pickings for them,' Mrs Rickert, 73, told the WSJ. Since their deployment, drones have dramatically reduced the number of wolf attacks in Oregon. All-night stakeouts stop attacks In the Klamath Basin, in the southern part of the state, the number of cows killed by wolves fell from 11 over a 20-day period to two over the next 85 days following the drones' introduction. The $20,000 flying vehicles are capable of doing a battery 'hot swap', meaning their power source can be changed without switching the drone off, enabling near continuous surveillance. Mr Wolf and his team travel to ranches in Oregon and California where there have been reports of calves killed by wolves and carry out all-night stakeouts to ward off further attacks. Footage of the team at work shows a screen displaying a wolf illuminated by a spotlight, captured by a night-vision camera on a drone hovering above. 'Hey get out of here! Get!' Mr Wolf's colleague, Colby McAdams, shouted via the microphone on the drone's controller, causing the animal to run off.

Freddie Freeman remains hot as Dodgers beat Rays
August 3 - Freddie Freeman had three hits and drove in a run as the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-0 in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (10-7) allowed five hits with no walks and six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. Alex Vesia and Brock Stewart followed before the Rays loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth against Blake Treinen. Ben Casparius replaced Treinen and got Yandy Diaz to ground out for his second save. Junior Caminero and Jake Magnum had two hits apiece for Tampa Bay, which was shut out for the 10th time this season and lost for the fifth time in its last six games. Ohtani had two hits and reached base four times with two stolen bases for Los Angeles, which recorded their fifth shutout and concluded their nine-game road trip with a 5-4 record. The Dodgers were held to three hits over the first five scoreless innings by Joe Boyle, who walked two and struck out two. Mason Englert (0-1) replaced Boyle to begin the sixth inning and allowed a leadoff single to Freeman, who moved to second on Michael Conforto's one-out walk. Andy Pages followed with a single to left field and Freeman beat the throw to the plate, ending the Dodgers' 18-inning scoreless streak. Los Angeles tacked on another run in the seventh inning after Ohtani hit a leadoff single and stole second base. Mookie Betts walked and both runners advanced on a double steal before Freeman singled in a run. Freeman has reached base in 19 straight games and is batting .396 (19-for-48) with two home runs and 12 RBIs in his last 12 games. He drove in four of the Dodgers' eight runs in the weekend series. The Rays threatened in the fifth inning with runners on the corners with one out. Yamamoto escaped the jam when Diaz popped out and Brandon Lowe struck out. Los Angeles added an insurance run in the ninth on Betts' sacrifice fly against Griffin Jax, who was making his Rays debut. Los Angeles second baseman Tommy Edman exited the game in the fifth inning with a right ankle sprain after hitting a one-out single. --Field Level Media
