This luxury mansion boasts an expansive garden and a plethora of amenities, including a lake that has reportedly sparked a dispute between Neymar's father and the Brazilian government, as per ESPN.

Amid speculations about the footballer facing a hefty fine exceeding $3.3 million, Sports Brief delves into three captivating features of his multimillion-dollar residence, which is anticipated to be a haven for himself and his family.

Features of Neymar's luxury mansion

Custom-built racing track

Neymar has consistently showcased his love for racing, frequently making appearances at Formula 1 events, including the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix and the Spanish GP.

It comes as no surprise, then, that his opulent mansion reflects this passion by featuring a racing track. According to Marca, the addition of a go-kart track adds a distinctive charm to his luxurious home, providing Neymar with the perfect outlet to indulge in his racing fantasies.

Football and tennis facilities

The multimillion-dollar mansion is further enhanced by the inclusion of a football pitch and a volleyball court, adding an extra layer of appeal to this enticing residence.

This setup provides a splendid space for Neymar, his children, and any visiting friends to showcase their football skills and enjoy spirited games on the lush grounds of the luxurious property.

An artificial lake

The standout feature of Neymar's Rio mansion is the 1000-square-meter mini-lake, providing the Al-Hilal star and his family with a touch of nature within the confines of their home.

The lake boasts a wooden surface and a beach kiosk surrounded by rocks, creating an ambience reminiscent of an actual beach. However, this luxurious addition seems to have sparked concerns in the town of Mangaratiba, where the mansion is located.

According to a report by Marca, the lake on Neymar Jr.'s property is accused of contributing to deforestation, rock breaking, and the diversion of a river. Consequently, the forward is facing charges of environmental crimes. The municipality's Secretary of the Environment has issued an order to halt construction work on that particular section of the mansion.

Despite the uncertainties surrounding the completion of Neymar's mansion, one undeniable fact is that it promises to be an architectural marvel. Whether or not it receives approval, the ongoing construction underscores the grandeur and luxury associated with the Brazilian football star.

Neymar shows off new hairstyle

Neymar is known for his hairstyle changes over the years, many of which have caught the eye of his fans.

The Brazilian has now gone for a new look as he recovers from surgery, Sports Brief previously reported.

The Al-Hilal star ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee on international duty.
