NFL legend Brett Favre is closing a major chapter in his life by listing his beloved Mississippi estate for $14 million. Nestled in the quiet beauty of the Pine Belt, the property—known as Black Creek Farm—has been Favre’s sanctuary for over 20 years. Located just 20 minutes from Hattiesburg, where the Hall of Fame quarterback launched his football career at Southern Miss, the estate spans a staggering 465 acres and is among the most impressive listings in the state.
The crown jewel of the property is a 20,018-square-foot custom-built home featuring eight bedrooms, expansive living areas, and a design that blends rustic elegance with Southern charm. The grounds include two scenic lakes, horse stables, multiple barns, guest cottages, and dense woodlands ideal for hunting or outdoor retreats—perfect for a sportsman like Favre.
Favre has called Black Creek Farm “the heart of our family for more than two decades.” It was the backdrop for countless family memories, post-NFL reflections, and moments of peace far removed from the public spotlight. Though he has decided to sell, Favre remains rooted in Mississippi and plans to downsize locally. “It’s simply time for something smaller,” he stated.
The estate is listed through Jon Callaghan of Live Water Properties, a firm that specializes in elite recreational properties. Given the home’s size, history, and acreage, it stands as one of the most luxurious and exclusive homes ever to hit the market in the region.
For Brett Favre, this sale is more than a real estate move—it’s a farewell to the place where life slowed down after the NFL. For prospective buyers, it offers a once-in-a-generation chance to own a piece of sports history wrapped in Southern serenity. The next chapter begins—on both sides of the sale.
