Wilson has long owned a home just outside of San Diego in Rancho Santa Fe, where the athlete often hosts unofficial practices in the offseason. It’s unclear if the family has any ties to the locale beyond their love for the home and area, but the property is notably impressive. According to reports, the property spans eight acres and used to be an equestrian estate, which made it particularly well-suited for Wilson: He converted the original horse arena into a football field where he and his teammates have gathered since the quarterback’s second season in the NFL, in 2013. According to ESPN, the field is surrounded by palm trees and even has Wilson’s “RW3” logo painted in the center. “We have the best jobs in the world: We get to play football for a living,” Wilson told ESPN. “We get to spend time together. It’s a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of focus, a lot of long days, long nights, early mornings. All of those things add up, even in the offseason.” It appears that the San Diego area is still a home base for the pair and their family—they called it their “home away from home” in 2021.
A lakefront estate with small beaches and a three-slip dock
The couple next set their sights on Washington State, as Wilson was the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. They purchased two parcels of land in swanky Bellevue, just outside Seattle, for a total of $13.4 million. The first parcel, which they snapped in 2015 before their wedding in England, cost $6.7 million. The second, which they bought in 2019, cost about the same amount. The 1.89-acre estate sits right by scenic Lake Washington, with 270 feet of lakefront access, including small private beaches, a three-slip dock, and unobstructed views of the Seattle skyline. The primary house itself features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, a home theater, a recording studio, and a professional gym spread out across 11,104 square feet. The Wilsons put their own stamp on the property, adding a three-story elevator, a gazebo, and a unique treehouse overlooking the lake. The interior of the home is grand in scale, with enormous crystal chandeliers, dramatic spiral staircases with wrought-iron railings, and marble flooring throughout. After Wilson’s trade to Denver, however, the family opted to put the entire estate up for sale at $36 million in 2022. The smaller property was quickly snapped up at $9.75 million but is now back on the market at $10.687 million. The 2007 built main house wasn’t sold until May of this year, going to an unnamed buyer for $21.25 million. Despite receiving less than their asking price, the couple still bagged a total of $31 million after the sale of both properties.
The thank-you gift
Wilson decided to repay his mother, Tammy Wilson, for her endless support with the purchase of a brand new house on Mother’s Day. In a sweet video that the quarterback shared to Instagram, his mother can be seen looking confused as Wilson hands her a set of keys. “Those are the keys to your new home,” he tells her in the clip. After a few beats, Tammy can be heard asking if her son is “for real” before she lets out a gleeful squeal. “After these years you have never asked me for anything … only thing you ever wanted is for me to LOVE,” Wilson captioned the post. “Well thanks for loving us the way you do. This one’s for you. I love you momma.” It’s unclear where exactly Tammy’s new house is located.
