After a high-profile proposal, Taylor Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce are reportedly considering buying an $18 million mansion in the football star’s hometown of Ohio. Not only is the property one of the most luxurious in the area, it also has a state-of-the-art recording studio, promising to be a place where the singer can continue creating music right in her living space.
Earlier this summer, the couple were spotted dining together at JoJo’s, a popular French restaurant in Chagrin Falls, a quiet village near Cleveland Heights, where Kelce grew up. Since then, rumors of the couple looking for real estate in the area have spread. According to local sources, the two superstars are said to have visited a mansion in Hunting Valley, worth about $18 million.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce began dating in the summer of 2023, and after nearly two years together, the couple officially got engaged in August 2025.
The mansion, built in 2018, is still largely intact and has not been used much. A person familiar with the matter said the house was put up for sale after the owner died during the COVID-19 pandemic. He and his wife only lived there for a short time after the project was completed.

Located on 61.26 acres, the six-bedroom, 13-bathroom mansion, designed by architect Charles Fazio and yacht interior designer Ari Loar, offers complete privacy and is spacious enough for the couple to host family gatherings or celebrity friends like Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and the band Haim.

The listing photos show that the house has many high-end amenities: a large dining room for parties, a wine cellar, a billiard room and even a mini cinema. The biggest highlight for the couple may be the recording studio, where Taylor Swift can easily turn her ideas into music products.

Meanwhile, her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce, who is likely to retire after the upcoming NFL season, can also maintain his fitness in the mansion’s fully equipped sports area that includes a golf simulator, gym, sauna and steam room.

The exterior of the mansion is also designed to be suitable for entertaining and parties, with a swimming pool, terrace, outdoor kitchen and fire pit, ideal details for Taylor Swift to continue the tradition of hosting American Independence Day parties with friends.
The house is built in the middle of dense forest, providing the necessary seclusion for celebrities who are constantly monitored by the media. A local source commented that this rural area is much more suitable than big cities where paparazzi are present.

In addition, Chagrin Falls, the area adjacent to the mansion, also offers many entertainment and culinary options. Highlights include 17 River Grille with views of the natural landscape, Italian restaurant M Italian, famous ice cream shop Popcorn Shop, Fireside Books bookstore and an ancient village hall. These are considered factors that contribute to bringing a peaceful but no less convenient living experience to residents.
In addition to daily life, the convenience of transportation is also noteworthy. Cuyahoga Airport, where the couple can fly their private jet, is only about a 20-minute drive away, while Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport is only 30 minutes away.

The area around this property also has many horse farms, which is suitable for Taylor Swift’s passion since childhood. The distance from the mansion to Cleveland Heights, where Kelce was born and raised, is less than half an hour. This makes the Hunting Valley property even more ideal for the couple to choose as a place to settle down.
As of 2025, Taylor Swift is said to own at least 8 houses in the US, stretching from Nashville, Beverly Hills to New York. If the purchase in Ohio comes true, this will be one of the most expensive properties in her collection, and mark a new step in the journey together with her fiancé Travis Kelce.
