Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has put a $2.5 million Zionsville mansion that sits on 16 acres -- as well as another $1.5 million worth of land adjoining it -- up for sale.

Located at 3863 Willow Brook Lane, the nearly 12,000-square-foot home features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with a pond, basketball and sand volleyball courts, creek and woods outside.

The property was listed for sale in late July by the James S. Irsay 1989 Trust with a tax billing address of 7001 W. 56th St., the location of the Colts training complex.

It's unclear who was living in the home; property records show Irsay purchased it fewer than three years ago.

Irsay, 60, also owns four parcels in Carmel on West 116th Street in Crooked Stick Golf Club. That property is not listed for sale, according to the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors.

The Zionsville home, which was built in 1993, recently underwent a complete remodel, according to the listing by Stephen Decatur with Century 21 Scheetz. Decatur did not return a phone call from IndyStar.

In addition to the main home, which has a basement, wet bar and 4-car garage, there is a carriage house on the property. That guest home is 2,500 square feet and has two bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Listed for sale separately by Irsay are 28 acres at 3933 Willow Brook Lane in Zionsville. The property is vacant and overlooks a ravine, creek and woods, according to Century 21.

Irsay is the latest in a series of prominent sports figures to put a home up for sale in the Indianapolis area.

In the spring, former Colts coach Chuck Pagano listed his $1.95 million Zionsville home. The English Tudor style mansion, at 14 Lost Run Trail, is still on the market.

Former Pacers executive and basketball legend Larry Bird put his $2.4 million English manor in Indianapolis for sale in June. Meanwhile, his $5 million Naples, Fla., home that had been for sale for years is off the market.

Bird bought the 10,232-square-foot, Washington Township home in the Sycamore Springs subdivision in 2003. It was custom-built for Bird and his wife, Dinah, by Estridge Homes and was the Indianapolis "Dream Home" in August 2002.

The house at 4715 Ellery Lane is listed for $2.35 million and has a pending offer on it, according to records.
