Travis Kelce bought a $5.35 million lakefront mansion miles from downtown Cleveland months before marrying Taylor Swift, according to property records obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
The 131-year-old home was recently renovated and initially listed at nearly $7 million in 2024 before the price was trimmed to $5.99 million, according to WSJ.com. The 3.5-acre property on the Lake Erie shore boasts a 21,000-square-foot home with eight bedrooms, a ballroom and a home theatre.
There is even a two-bedroom guest cottage, which once served as the property’s gatehouse, and a pool in the back yard.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end closed on the property back in March, months before marrying Swift at Madison Square Garden. And as reported by the Journal, the home is near a private airport, which should help the newlyweds to manage a real estate portfolio that has reportedly hit double digits.
According to Realtor.com, the couple had no fewer than nine homes in early July, including Swift’s New York condo and her mansions in Rhode Island, Nashville and California. Kelce, meanwhile, entered the relationship with his own mansion in Kansas City.
‘We’re thrilled for the new owners and so excited for Cleveland,’ brokers David Ayers and Nick Zawitz of The Agency Cleveland told WSJ.com.

The Daily Mail has sought confirmation through Kelce’s agent.
A native of Cleveland Heights, Kelce is intensely proud of his Cuyahoga County roots. And while Swift is accustomed to spending time in her $50 million lower-Manhattan marvel, she has embraced his hometown by attending Cleveland Cavaliers games with Kelce on top of family obligations.
Remarkably, the 21,000-square-foot mansion was not the only major purchase revealed by Kelce this week. He and Swift have also added a new dog.
The pup, a white Samoyed which is rumored to be named Wendy according to Forbes, made its first public appearance in a new ad campaign for Tommy Hilfiger.
Wendy appears alongside the three-time Super Bowl winner on the roof of the Plaza Hotel, lounging on a black-and-white sofa as Kelce poses in a navy peacoat and white turtleneck.

The American fashion brand had been looking to cast a dog for the ad when Kelce volunteered his and Swift’s own, Vogue reported.
‘We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,’ Kelce told the outlet. ‘Those are some of my favorite shots.’
Kelce gushed over his gorgeous new pet, saying: ‘She lights up my day.’
The pet’s existence was first revealed by the Daily Mail in exclusive footage from inside the couple’s wedding, which showed a picture of the happy couple posing with their furry friend.
A source told the Daily Mail that ‘it seems that Travis made it happen’ regarding the dog.
