Jim Irsay's Carmel estate sells for $11.75 million four months after his death

The Carmel, Indiana estate once owned by the late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay sold for $11.75 million four months after his death in Beverly Hills, where he died in his sleep at age 65. TMZ was first to report the selling price.

Set on 9.4 acres along Crooked Stick Golf Club, the 24,000-square-foot mansion sits on a property that borders a private club that hosted the 1991 PGA Championship. The residence includes a Par 3 golf hole, an indoor pool pavilion, a full-sized basketball court, a Zen garden, a wine room, a home theater and a speakeasy, plus two stand-alone guest homes, one of which is a 2,700-square-foot cabin. It has six bedrooms and a dozen bathrooms. Listing materials describe the estate as a 'legacy estate' rarely available in the Midwest.

Jim Irsay died in May from a cardiac arrest in Beverly Hills. Over the years, he spoke openly about battles with addiction, including rehab stints for alcoholism and painkiller dependence. A Washington Post report described concerns about a relapse in the two years before his death, including prescriptions of opioids and ketamine from an addiction specialist.

The Colts franchise is now controlled by Irsay's three daughters. Carlie Irsay-Gordon has assumed day-to-day responsibility for team operations, while her sisters Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson hold roles as executive vice president and chief brand officer, respectively. Some fans and players have noted her hands-on approach, including wearing a headset to listen in on discussions between coaches and staff, drawing mixed reactions ranging from praise for accountability to critiques as micromanagement. The team began the season 2-0, underscoring the ongoing evolution of leadership within the organization.
