The NBA legend’s seven bedroom, 17.5 bathroom home has officially entered the Airbnb space for rent and trust us when we say, it’s got A LOT to offer. There is one tiny catch though: you have to stay for at least seven days and the price is pretty steep: About $15,000 a night. But there is a lot to explore like an indoor basketball court, backyard putting green, pool, cigar lounge, wine cellar, entertainment floor and more. So the juice might be worth the squeeze. Keep reading to take a peek at some of the most impressive parts of the home.

Nelly’s Former Missouri Mansion

Nelly’s abandoned home in Missouri sits on 12 acres of land which includes a private basketball court, a three-car garage and a bunch of unfinished rooms. He reportedly bought this Missouri home in 2002 for an alleged $1,900,000 with the alleged intent to renovate it and gift it to his sister. Unfortunately, his sister fell ill with a leukemia diagnosis and eventually passed away in 2005. The home has been vacant ever since. Now, according to a Zillow listing, the home appears to be off the market but still has a rental price for a little over $4,900 a month. Keep reading to see more, but keep in mind, this place is going to need a lot of elbow grease before it really feels like a good place to call home!

Though the home may have been abandoned, it’s nice to see that the architectural pillars and flooring have remained as they’re really an appealing part of the house!

Double sinks, a deep tub and a separate shower? This home clearly has all the bones to make this primary bathroom amazing!

Despite the less than stellar mid-renovations inside, the view from outside on the front balcony is a welcomed breath of fresh air.
