If you eat, sleep and breathe football, we may have a win-win real estate proposition for you.

Former Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey just listed his Fort Lauderdale mansion that comes with a huge bonus — literally — its very own football field.

After a nine-year NFL career that included four Pro Bowl appearances and three in a row in Miami, the former Gator signed a one-day contract to retire as a Dolphin in 2023. The field comes with a giant team logo smack in the middle..

“I just want to be remembered as a guy that was here, gave everything he had,” said the Lakeland native at the time. “Was a leader, respected and loved by his teammates and community. And outside of that, the rest of it is on tape.”

The sports fan’s dream home (cost: $6.95 million) comes with a ton of other amenities, too.

The three-story, five-bedroom, six-bathroom estate includes floor-to-ceiling windows, fitness room with sauna, pool, two-car garage, gourmet chef’s kitchen and smart technology throughout.

The 4,380-square-foot waterfront property, built in 2020, is listed by Kimberly Knausz with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. The real estate pro shot an Instagram video at the “one of a kind” crib.

“This is more than another luxury estate,” Knausz says on the tour. “This one’s a game changer.”

So why would Pouncey leave such a paradise? The 35 year old is reportedly selling to relocate to greener pastures in the Sunshine State with his girlfriend Kristian Fong and 11-year-old son Kayden.

“We built our retirement home on a 220-acre ranch in Okeechobee and plan to move there full time once our son finishes high school,” Pouncey told the New York Post.
