Jerry Buss’ Former Vacay Home Hits Market For $11.85M, Once Hangout Of Kobe, Magic

How’s this for a sports lover’s dream … the vacation home custom-built by the late Lakers owner Jerry Buss, and visited by some of the greatest hoopers to ever grace a basketball court, is now on the market, and could be yours if you’ve got $12 million!

TMZ Sports has learned the 9,792-square-foot property, located on a 3.18-acre lot in Rancho Santa Fe (about 100 miles outside L.A.), recently hit the open market for $11.85 million. The land was purchased by Dr. Buss in 1994 for less than $300k, and the house, known as the “Dream Ranch,” was built to his exact specifications to resemble the Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort in Montecito.

We’re told Jerry wanted a place outside of Los Angeles that felt far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city … all while being close enough to the arena where his team played.

Buss often had company … and they were some of the most famous athletes in the world like Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O’Neal.

In fact, Jerry installed an extra-long driveway (it fits 25 cars!) to accommodate the stars’ stretch limos.

The mansion features eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (8 full, 2 half) — five in the main house and three in the guest house — with the master suite, clad in marble, overlooking a rose garden.

There’s also a 3-stall barn, two putting greens, a swimming pool with a pool house, a basketball court (of course), and a tennis court where none other than Andre Agassi once played.

Buss passed away in 2013 … and the home was ultimately sold years later in 2022. The new buyers renovated the home, transforming it into a modern mansion.

The house is listed by Compass agent Khaki Wennstrom.
