Kirby Connell Buys $39M Georgia Ranch for Ultimate Outdoor Playground: “I Wanted a Place to Wakesurf, Hunt and Build a Racetrack”
Tennessee baseball’s fan-favorite reliever Kirby Connell is making headlines off the diamond with a jaw-dropping purchase: a $39 million luxury ranch in Georgia. The sprawling estate, which includes private lakes, hunting grounds, and enough land to build a personal racetrack, is being dubbed “The Ultimate Outdoor Playground” by friends and fans alike.
In a candid interview following the purchase, Connell shared his vision for the property:
> “I’ve always wanted a place where I could do all the things I love in one spot — wakesurf, hunt, fish, ride, and just escape from the chaos. This is it.”
The ranch reportedly spans over 1,200 acres and features multiple luxury cabins, an eight-bedroom main lodge, a private airstrip, and a boathouse on a man-made lake. Connell plans to construct a custom dirt racetrack and has already begun work on installing a state-of-the-art indoor batting cage and training facility, blending business with pleasure.
Known for his laid-back charm and signature mustache, Connell has always embraced the outdoorsy lifestyle. Teammates say he often spends off-days fishing or riding four-wheelers, and this new purchase is a natural extension of his off-the-field personality.
Fans took to social media to celebrate the move, with one comment reading:
“Kirby just bought a real-life Field of Dreams — but for adrenaline junkies.”
While Connell remains focused on his baseball career with the Tennessee Volunteers, this purchase shows he’s already laying the foundation for life beyond the game — and doing it in style. From the pitcher’s mound to Georgia’s wild heartland, Kirby Connell is living his dream — and building a legacy bigger than baseball.
