Travis Kelce buys Bratenahl lakefront estate

Travis Michael Kelce reportedly purchased the estate known as Moyenage in Bratenahl, Ohio, for $5.35 million. The sale closed on March 2, 2026, through an Ohio LLC that, according to tax correspondence, is linked to his business manager.

The property spans 3.5 acres along Lake Erie near Cleveland. Public records identify the address as 12725 Lake Shore Boulevard, while reporting connects Kelce to the buyer through longtime business manager André Eanes.

The property contains 24 listed rooms and includes a separate gatehouse restored as a two-bedroom guest cottage. Those features add substantial living and guest space across the 3.5-acre lakefront estate near Cleveland.

The property sold for $1.95 million in March 2023 before undergoing major restoration work. It was later listed at $6.99 million in May 2024, then reduced to $5.99 million in May 2025.

The final $5.35 million sale came in below both asking prices but far above the 2023 purchase price. The transaction closed on March 2, 2026, and was described by the listing agents as a record sale for Bratenahl’s Lake Erie shoreline.

Travis Kelce mansion received restoration

The estate underwent an extensive yearlong restoration before the 2026 sale. Listing materials describe restored original hardware, carved walnut and oak details, leaded glass, updated systems, and polished marble flooring throughout the residence.

Renovation work also transformed several entertainment spaces inside the mansion. The former ballroom became a game room and home theater, while the lower level gained recreation areas and a fitness center with modern amenities.

Travis Kelce property has conflicting dates

Current property and real estate records list 1895 as the home’s build year. Historical records indicate that Jay and Seville Morse acquired the property in 1902 and commissioned the Elizabethan Tudor mansion afterward.

Architect Jarvis Hunt designed Moyenage for the Morses, while Cleveland architect Charles Schweinfurth finalized the plans. Bratenahl historical records place the completion of the house, adjoining structures and stables in 1904.

Travis Kelce estate carries medieval name

The estate’s name, Moyenage, comes from a French term connected with medieval times. Historical records describe the house as an Elizabethan Tudor residence overlooking Lake Erie, with distinctive brickwork, carved details, and formal grounds.

Its exterior includes a symmetrical entrance, brick columns, wrought iron door hardware, terracotta coping, and an enclosed porch. Historical descriptions also note Tudor and Gothic Revival elements that shaped the mansion’s appearance.

Moyenage also has a television connection dating back more than six decades. A CBS production crew filmed an episode of Route 66 at the Bratenahl estate in 1962, using several rooms.

Historical records say interior spaces were temporarily converted into game areas for the Route 66 episode. The filming added another documented chapter to the estate’s history beyond its architecture, ownership changes, and restoration work.

Travis Kelce estate reaches Lake Erie

The 3.5-acre grounds extend directly along Lake Erie and include a stone terrace, bluestone patio, and heated pool. A restored gatehouse contains two bedrooms and provides separate guest accommodations from the main residence.

Bratenahl is a residential village about six miles east of downtown Cleveland and covers less than one square mile. Prominent Cleveland families established large lakefront estates there around the turn of the twentieth century.

Travis Kelce joins Bratenahl estate history

Bratenahl was incorporated as a village in 1903 after residents resisted annexation into Cleveland. The Lake Shore Boulevard corridor developed into large estates, making Moyenage part of a longer pattern of waterfront homes along Lake Erie.

The village had an estimated 1,388 residents in 2026. The median home price was about $490,000 in July 2026, placing the $5.35 million Moyenage transaction far above typical local home prices.

Fun fact: Moyenage once belonged to George A. Martin, a former president and chairman of Sherwin-Williams , giving Kelce’s new home a corporate Cleveland connection long before football entered the picture.

Travis Kelce purchase stayed private initially

David Ayers and Nick Zawitz of The Agency Cleveland handled the Bratenahl transaction. The property attracted multiple offers before closing, and the agents initially declined to publicly identify the purchaser.

Public records showed an Ohio LLC acquired the home, while property tax correspondence listed André Eanes, Kelce’s longtime business manager. Those records contributed to later reporting that identified Kelce as the buyer.
