Midwest Mansion with Resortlike Amenities Including Showstopping ‘Entertainment Barn’ Lists for $3 Million

A luxurious playground in Ohio that boasts a level of luxury rarely seen in a residential home is offering a buyer the chance to own their very own five-star resort after hitting the market for $2.99 million.

The New Albany, OH, mansion is replete with top-of-the-line features, including an in-ground pool, an outdoor fireplace, an in-ground trampoline and—perhaps the most impressive of the lot—a newly built entertainment barn that comes with an indoor basketball/pickleball court.

Nestled on a wooded lot in an exclusive enclave in the New Albany Country Club, the six-bedroom brick residence was custom-designed for grand-scale entertaining.

And, according to listing agent Rob Riddle, of New Albany Realty, who is who is co-listing the property with Kandis Hall, the home’s plum location inside the country club will only help to bolster a future owner’s social circle.

“People move to New Albany Country Club for its connectivity, so we believe it will most likely be used as a primary residence,” Riddle explains. “Ultimately, the person is going to be one who enjoys entertaining friends and family.”

Built in 2006, the modernized 9,389-square-foot interior boasts new white oak floors, a grand staircase, and custom built-ins.

“The seller has worked tirelessly updating the home,” Hall notes. “There is a lot of attention to detail. You don’t see a house like this come on the market too often.”

A gourmet eat-in chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry and lighting, an oversized granite island with prep sink and counter seating, and high-end appliances.

There is also a home office, formal living and dining rooms, a four-season room, and a separate guest suite with a private kitchen and family room. An additional guest suite can be found on the lower level that also features a children’s play area with a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard.

A sliding barn door opens up to a spacious room providing a blank canvas that could be transformed into a fitness center or home theater.

The upstairs lavish primary suite has a sitting area, gas-burning fireplace, a spacious bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in closet.

A covered, tiered patio with a pergola overlooks an in-ground swimming pool with diving board, an outdoor fireplace, a grilling station, brick pizza oven, built-in bar, and fire pit.

The newly constructed, detached entertainment barn boasts a garage door that opens up to a sprawling indoor sports court, a kitchen with a bar area, a living area with a fireplace, and a lofted lounge.

“You could host Thanksgiving for 70 to 80 people,” Riddle says. “What often gets overlooked in central Ohio is we have at least a chance of snow five to six months of the year. The entertainment barn is not just a go-to spot to hang out in during the summer months, but also the winter.”

Hall says the space is also heated and cooled.

“What a luxury it would be to host those types of events in your home,” she says. “The house itself with the outdoor entertainment barn approaches 10,000 square feet of space.

The private lot also has a turf play space with in-ground trampoline used by the seller’s son to train on in pursuit of playing in the Olympics. The green space also has extra room for a putting green, if the next buyer wanted to create a private area for mini golf.

“New Albany is a fabulous place to live with over 40 miles of continuous leisure trails,” Riddle says. “From the front door, you can access a trail system and go to any corner of the town without stepping on a road. There are tunnels under the street, so it’s safe for kids.”

Originally listed for $3.499 million in July 2025, the recent $300,000 price reduction hopes to attract a quick sale.

“It’s priced appropriately based on the market’s response,” Hall says.
