Tom Brady lives on Indian Creek Island in Miami, in a new waterfront estate he built on a lot bought for about $17 million in late 2020. That estate is the Tom Brady house everyone searches for, a stone and glass mansion facing Biscayne Bay, and its $150 million price comes from bids, not from a closed sale.
The numbers around it get repeated so often that they start to sound settled, but most of them are reported figures, not confirmed deals. This page follows the build first, then the divorce, then the price question, and the property timeline from Boston to Miami.
Tom Brady House: The $150 Million Mansion Behind the Bunker Walls
The Build That Took Years
Indian Creek Island is a man-made island in Biscayne Bay, about 300 acres, with about 40 waterfront estates and its own police department. Locals call it the Billionaire Bunker, and the name fits, because the island pairs heavy privacy with a private country club.
Brady bought the lot in late 2020 with his then wife Gisele Bundchen, paying about $17 million for about two acres and about 200 feet of water frontage. The existing house came down, and a new estate went up from scratch, a two-storey build in pale stone and glass.
The finished estate is reported at about 25,000 square feet, and the architect was Scott Mitchell. Inside the boundary there is a security building, a gym, a cabana, a pool, a sport court, a detached guesthouse, a wellness pavilion, and a massive dock.
The build was funded in part by a $35 million construction loan. No bank name or firm date is attached to that loan here, because the outlets that reported it disagree on both points.
The same outlets disagree on when the house was finished. The safe wording is that it was finished by early 2025 and confirmed complete by aerial photos in February 2026.
Who Is Tom Brady?
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born on 3 August 1977 in San Mateo, California, and he was drafted 199th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft. Few draft picks have ever mattered less on paper and more in practice, because Brady went on to play 23 seasons in the NFL.
He won seven Super Bowls, six with New England and one with Tampa Bay, and he collected five Super Bowl MVP awards and three NFL MVP awards. His career totals stop readers cold, with 89,214 passing yards and 649 touchdown passes across 10 Super Bowl appearances.
He retired for good on 1 February 2023, after first retiring in February 2022 and returning 40 days later. Fox Sports made him its lead NFL analyst from 2024 under a reported 10-year contract worth $375 million.
He also became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, with a 5 percent stake approved in October 2024. The combined 10 percent holding with Tom Wagner was reported at $220 million.

Where Does Tom Brady Live?
He lives on Indian Creek Island in Miami, in the new estate described above, and that is the short answer most readers arrive with. The longer answer matters too, because he reached that island after two decades of moves.
After the divorce in October 2022, Brady kept the Indian Creek property, while Bundchen kept the New York apartment and the Costa Rica home. Ownership was transferred in December into a trust managed by Brian Blanchard of SCS Financial, and filings point to Brady making the estate his Florida homestead rather than preparing a quick flip.
Why the island fits his life now
Privacy is the obvious draw, because an island with its own police department and about 40 estates keeps casual visitors out in a way a mainland street never could. That privacy also explains why so little is confirmed about the inside of the house, since the people who live there rarely open the gates to cameras.
Jeff Bezos holds a home on the island, and so do Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Jeffrey Soffer is another island neighbour, and Mark Zuckerberg joined the group in March 2026, when he bought an Indian Creek mansion for $170 million, a reported Miami-Dade County record.
The $150 Million Question
Bloomberg reported in January 2025 that the house was being shown to a small group of buyers, with bids above $150 million. No public listing followed and no sale has been confirmed, so the $150 million figure should be read as the level bids reached, not as money that changed hands.
That gap between a reported bid and a confirmed sale is what makes the Tom Brady house question so hard to answer, because a bid is a hope and a sale is a fact. Until a buyer signs and a price is recorded, every big number attached to the island estate stays an estimate.
The Zuckerberg sale gives readers a useful check, because a confirmed $170 million deal on the same island shows that nine-figure prices there are real, even when Brady’s own number is not confirmed. SI.com puts the starting point at the $17 million lot, and that figure is confirmed, unlike the bids.
Realtor.com has followed the divorce settlement and the trust transfer closely, and its reporting is the strongest single source on how the property was divided and held. It separates confirmed steps, like the trust transfer, from reported ones, like the bids.
Brady’s island home sits in a pattern readers will recognise from other celebrity houses we cover, where a star buys privacy first and square footage second. That pattern is easy to miss when the price dominates the headline, but the purchase history tells it plainly, because Brady chose a guarded island over a showpiece address on the mainland.
Brookline: The House He Sold to Leave Boston
Brady bought about five acres from Pine Manor College in 2013 for $4.5 million, and he hired architect Richard Landry to design the estate. The house was built around 2015, with a main residence reported at about 10,000 square feet inside a 12,112 square foot estate.
Inside there were five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a wine cellar, a private gym, a spa, and a home theatre. A barn-inspired guest house of about 2,400 square feet stood on the same land, and the whole property read as a private compound rather than a single house with a garden.
The estate was listed in August 2019 at $39.5 million, then cut to $33.9 million in October 2019. The sale closed in late 2020, reported at $32.5 million, and the buyer was connected to James Kittler and JDJ Family Office Services, though the price was not in the land record.
Brady no longer owns property in Massachusetts, and the Brookline estate is the clearest example of how completely he moved his life south. That slow-sale pattern is familiar from other star homes, and the Michael Jordan house story shows how long a famous estate can sit before the right buyer appears.
Before Miami: Brentwood, Tampa and New York
Before Boston, Brady built in Brentwood, California, buying land in 2009 for $9 million and spending about $20 million building a French chateau-style mansion over the following three years. The house ran to about 14,000 square feet, and Brady sold it to Dr Dre in May 2014 for a reported $40 million.
The Tampa rental is the odd chapter in the Tom Brady house story, because the house was borrowed, not bought. When Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, he rented Derek Jeter’s mansion on Davis Islands, a house nicknamed St Jetersburg, at a reported rent of $75,000 a month.
The house itself is reported at 22,000 square feet on 1.25 acres, with about 345 feet of bay frontage. Inside there are seven bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, an 80-foot saltwater lap pool, a dock with two boat lifts, a six-car garage, a wine cellar, and a movie theatre.
Jeter had bought the lots in 2005 for $6.3 million and completed the house in 2011. He listed it in September 2020 at $29 million, and it sold in May 2021 for $22.5 million, a Tampa Bay residential record at the time.
Brady moved out citing privacy concerns, which is easy to understand, because a rented house with a nickname is not a private home. A demolition permit was filed in 2022, but the house was still standing in June 2026, and the Tampa chapter remains a rental story, not a purchase.
The New York apartments
New York gave Brady a different base, because his Tribeca apartment was a five-bedroom spread of 4,647 square feet on the 12th floor, bought for $25.5 million in 2016. He sold it in 2021 for about $37 million, and a smaller apartment on the same floor, bought for $3.5 million, went to Bundchen in the divorce.
A Flatiron apartment bought for $11.7 million in 2014 sold for $13.95 million in 2018, a quieter deal that rarely makes the headlines. Earlier still, Brady lived in a Back Bay condo in Boston from 2004 to 2008, in an 1899 Gilded Age building, and another unit there was listed at about $6.3 million in 2026.
The Tampa rental shows how often a famous address is borrowed rather than bought, and the same caution applies to asking prices, because Aaron Rodgers’ house carried a $35 million asking price that was never a confirmed purchase. Brady’s Tampa rent and his Brookline price cut point the same way, because a reported price is not a closed deal.
The Rest of the Portfolio
Brady is a member of the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, where he holds a property, and small condos there start at $5.7 million and run to $30 million. Membership is reported to cost $300,000 to join plus $36,000 a year in dues, and Brady kept the membership and the home in the divorce.
The Costa Rica home on the Nicoya Peninsula and a Bahamas home were part of the shared portfolio, and the Costa Rica home went to Bundchen in the divorce. An earlier home at Silo Ridge in Amenia, New York, gets only a brief mention, and it belongs to a much earlier chapter than the island estate.
After the divorce, Bundchen bought a home in Surfside for $11.5 million, almost directly across the water from Indian Creek. That keeps the two households close even after the split, and it is one reason the story keeps drawing readers, in the same way Cristiano Ronaldo’s house draws readers who want the full portfolio rather than a single price.
Brady’s net worth is reported at about $300 million, though estimates vary. No single tracker agrees with the others, so that range is the honest way to state it.
His property choices match that scale, and readers who follow star sales will find a useful comparison in the Brad Pitt house story. A famous home there also took time to find its buyer, which is a useful warning about asking prices.
The scale of Brady’s career explains the scale of his homes, because 23 seasons at the top of the NFL bring money and a need for privacy. That link is not unique to Brady, and the JJ Watt house in Phoenix shows the same pattern at a smaller scale, with a buy that drew far less attention.
What the Next Island Sale Will Tell Us
The Tom Brady house story ends on a guarded island, in a home that took years to finish. Brady turned 49 in August 2026, and his working life now runs through the Fox broadcast booth and a minority stake in the Raiders. The island estate looks less like a trophy and more like a base for what comes next.
The property story is now clearer than the headlines made it, because the lot price, the build, the loan, the trust transfer, and the bids each sit in their own place. Reported figures are kept apart from confirmed ones, and it will still make sense when the next island sale sets a new benchmark.
