The Famous Midwest Mansion That Still Sits Empty [GALLERY]

It is perhaps one of the most famous properties for sale in the entire nation and it resides here in the Midwest. No expense has been spared. It is luxury living at its finest. And for some reason, no one wants to buy it. This amazing Midwest mansion has been vacant for over a decade!

The property is located in nearby Highland Park, Illinois. According to The Root, it has been on the market for 12 years. It features 9 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms. It is a staggering 32,000 square feet with another 7 acres of land. There is a pond, a pool, tennis courts, a movie theater, a full gym and sauna, and your own putting green! Oh, and did we mention that the seller is Michael Jordan?

Yes, that Michael Jordan. #23 for the Chicago Bulls. Six NBA Championships. Air Jordan. Who wouldn't want to live in the same home as the greatest basketball player of all time? Yes, MJ put his own stamp on the home with plenty of Jumpman logos all over the place. Take a look at the home for yourself and tell me you aren't impressed!

So why on earth is this amazing home still on the market? First of all, it is listed at just under $15 million. Yahoo reports that property taxes alone are nearly $140,000. Others say the home is too customized with #23 logos all over, including the main gate! MJ better lower the price if he wants any takers on this vacant Midwest mansion!
