Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is remodeling an estate outside of San Diego, which will feature a music studio and a speakeasy style bar.

Butler refers to the estate as a resort.

"I grew up with a whole bunch of nothing, so I've dreamed of having a home for myself, my family, and I put everything into this house," he said in an article appearing in November's edition of Architectural Digest. "This is for my kids. I do this to inspire - to show that if you want something you can go get it."

Butler wants to pursue a music career when his playing days are over. Having an at-home music studio could help ease the transition.

When he retires he wants to become a country music singer. For now, the music studio is more for Butler to toy around with in the offseason.

After he has scored his final layup, Butler wants to be just like his heroes Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, George Strait and Garth Brooks.

In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, he said he was already "in the lab" working on his post-NBA career. It appears as though "the resort" is where most of his science is going to take place.

Butler is such a fan of country music he listens to it before games in the locker room. It helps pump him up to perform at his optimum skill level.
