It appears that Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end, has found a hideaway for himself and possibly Taylor Swift. He recently acquired a $6 million mansion in Kansas City, Kansas, seemingly to evade the growing number of Swifties who were reportedly congregating around his previous residence.
It is rumored that the 34-year-old athlete was uncomfortable with the accessibility of his former home to fans and paparazzi, prompting him to invest in a secure retreat within a gated community in Leawood. Notably, Kelce made this purchase entirely with cash, possibly drawing inspiration from his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who is not only a music icon but also a real estate mogul.
This luxurious estate owned by the NFL star spans nearly 17,000 square feet and boasts six bedrooms and six bathrooms. According to the property’s listing, the three-acre property was originally constructed in 1998 but has undergone an extensive renovation, led by Wolfgang Trost Architects and builder Harry Roth.
The house offers a plethora of sports-related amenities, including a lighted tennis and pickleball court, a mini golf course, and a practice green, in addition to a swimming pool. The property is further embellished with a waterfall, a wine cellar, and a garage where Kelce may house his 1970 Chevelle 408 Stroker convertible, the now-famous getaway car.
Over the years, Kelce, who was drafted by the Chiefs in 2013, has expanded his real estate portfolio. As reported by the New York Post, the two-time Super Bowl champion acquired his former Kansas City home in 2019, situated in the affluent Briarcliff West neighborhood. At the time, Kelce purchased the 10,000-square-foot residence for $995,000. This property features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fitness room, a movie theater, and a swimming pool. In the same year, he also acquired a condo in Orlando, Florida, for $355,000. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s extensive property investments are just as impressive as her earnings from her Eras Tour, with a portfolio worth an estimated 0 million.
