NFL star Josh Jacobs signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Green Bay Packers, stepping into the role of the team’s top running back in March 2024.
With $12.5 million guaranteed, this move signals a fresh start for Jacobs, who is leaving behind five seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. To make the transition official, he’s making major changes to his life — including putting his Nevada dream home on the market.
A standout since his 2019 draft, Jacobs earned PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year and built a loyal fan base in Vegas. But after frustrations with the Raiders’ management, he decided it was time for a new beginning. Now he’s cutting his last ties to Nevada, selling his custom-built property and laying down roots in Wisconsin as he gears up for life with the Packers.
Inside the Custom-Built Nevada Home
According to Realtor, the NFL star has listed the home for just under $6 million.
This custom-built estate blends luxury with thoughtful details, creating a relaxed yet high-end atmosphere. Jacobs purchased the land in 2021 for $750,000, and by 2023, his vision had become a reality — only for him to sign with the Packers just months after construction was completed.
Situated in the prestigious Augusta Canyon at Southern Highlands Golf Club, this 5,304-square-foot home is a 15-minute drive from Allegiant Stadium. The community offers a variety of perks, including walking trails, parks, a fitness center, a private golf course, and spa services, giving Jacobs — or the future owner — a full retreat experience.
Guests enter through a beautifully landscaped courtyard with a fire pit, setting the tone for the home’s blend of elegance and comfort.
Inside, a sprawling open floor plan features floor-to-ceiling pocket windows that connect the indoors to the resort-like backyard with a clean palette of natural colors like whites and creams. The chef’s kitchen boasts white marble countertops, contrasting black cabinetry, and high-end appliances, seamlessly flowing into a living and dining area with a sleek marble fireplace, wet bar, and glass-enclosed wine wall—a perfect space for entertaining.
The single-story layout includes three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, all crafted with careful attention to detail. The primary suite stands out with oversized windows, direct access to the backyard, and a spa-like en suite with a marble shower and walk-in closet.
Outside, the entertainment options continue: a half basketball court, a covered patio with a built-in grill, and a lap pool with two Baja decks and an attached spa make the backyard an entertainer’s paradise. Set on nearly an acre behind tall hedges, this property offers both privacy and openness, with ample space for relaxation or social gatherings. For car enthusiasts, a six-car garage provides plenty of room for any collection.
The listing agent James Meadows of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties, spoke about the property and its attractions in statement, saying, “Jacobs’ journey and his achievements are incredibly moving. This isn’t just a home; it’s a symbol of his hard work and dreams coming true.”
“I would call this the neighborhood of champions. It’s a hotspot for Raiders staff and players. Derek Carr lives here during the offseason, and even former [Raiders] head coach Jon Gruden lived here,” he continued, before adding, “Plus, you can’t beat the location – just a quick 15-minute drive to the Las Vegas Strip, and perfectly situated between their practice facility and the stadium.”
Meadows also said that he loves having the opportunity to sell the property.
“It’s truly rewarding to help someone find their sanctuary, their private space,” the real estate agent said. “Whether it’s a superstar athlete or a veteran who never thought homeownership was possible, the joy is the same.”
This home is a dream brought to life, and it’s ready for its next chapter.
